as though it would support a much

has. 1t don't seem as though more

has been cultivated 1t seems to give
good results in all small grains and

GEORGE PECK IS 81,
HONORED BY FRIENDS
Congratulations DeIuge City's
"0Idest ShoWman"-Is Civ
en- Travelling Bag.

George Peck, the oldest Snowman in
Washington in point of service as well
as years, celebrated his siIty-seventh
birthday yesterday.
There are very few people that
amount to anything in the amusement
world who do not know George Peck:
He was an Englishman at the start OF
his career. but he got bravely over 1t
when quite a young man. and has be-
come one of the most patriotic and use
full of American citizens. There Is
hardly a branch of the show business
been connected. He has owned and
controlled half a dozen big producing
companies, and has been the manager
OF many famous personages-theatrica
stars as well as lecturers and people
with other peculiarities that commended
them to public notice.
He has managed theaters, lecture
bureaus, circuses, museums. and county
Canada, Mexico. England, and Aus.
tralia He was one of the original
managers Of Uncle Tom" shows, and
made a lot of money in the business
at one time or another. But through
all his experience. George Peck never
has been an actor but once. That was
the first time he ever figured in an
amusement enterprise. He was a
steeplechaser in the old London Agri-
cultural Hall, in London, England. He
learned the show business then, and
has been in the managerial branch ever
since.
Peck came to Washington several
years ago as the representative of the
Columbia Amusement Company and
took charge of the Gayety Theater. He
has had a wonderful success with that
playhouse and is rated as one of the
big meu in the Columbia company
tne buriesque trust. Yesterday he was
kept busy all day receiving the con-
gratuletions of his hundreds of friends.
Last night the performance at the
Gayety was interrupted TO call Elm on
the stage, where he was presented With
Il handsome travelling hag-the gift of
the people who work With him at the
Gayety. Peck usually is a most self
possessed person, but he was complete
ly surprised by the gift and his eyes
sponse to the presentation speech.
