TROOP TRAINS
MADE UP IN THIS
CITY THURSDAY

The train which were to carry the
troops to Mexico left the city Thurs
day afternoon closely following the af-
ternoon express, No 102, and running
as sections of that train. The first
section was made up of a Bangor &
Aroostook passenger coach, baggage
car and Pullman. and other cars
we're to be attached to it at Augusta.
The second section was made up of II
passenger coaches and baggage car
and the third Of II passenger coaches
and a baggage car Al Augusta it was
planned to put in each Of the baggage
cars one or more stoves which will be
used for cooking during the trip. A
crew from the shops here went down
to have the work of installing the
stoves in charge. Each Of the sections
vas hauled by one of the large freight
engines Of the road and carried full
crew from this station. The engines
and crews will only go a far as Port
land but the same coaches Will be used
clear through to Mexico and they will
remain there to bring the boys back
when the trouble is over unless It
should become necessary to send more
troops from here, in which case they
will be brought back.

Friday is circus day and the small
boy of the city who has been saving
up his pennies for these many weeks
will come into his own. The circus will
come to the city from Portland and is
expected to arrive here early in the
morning and will Immediately go to
the lot selected for the show. Water
vile people are looking forward to a
very large crowd. 1t has been several
years since there has been a big circus
in this section Of Maine and the condi-
tons are just about right for the larg-
est crowd that ever attended one here.
The roads are in fair condition, spring
work is done and there is no reason why
the people who live in the surrounding
towns will not be able to attend. AS
usual the unloading will be done at the
Main street crossing of the Maine
Central and doubtless a large crowd
will be on hand to see this interesting
part Of the circus. The route of the
street parade has not been announced
as yet but it will probably be down
through Main street and over a few Of
the other principal streets Of the city.
Everyone is hoping for good day and
then is looking forward to a great
crowd.

Barnum e. Bailey Show an Example Of
Perfect Business OraanIzation.

What is the most efficient organiza-
ton in the world?
Such was the question propounded
to a group of financial kings who were
gathered in conference not long ago in
the general Offices of a great railroad
corporation in New York City.
One captain of industry Immediately
declared that the railroad whose Office
they were in was the best example of
efficient organization that could be
cited Another insisted that the steel
corporation was the most perfect bust
ness organization, and still another
demanded that the laurels for perfect
system be pinned to Standard Oil.
The man who had asked the question.
who happened to be newspa per
writer on business subjects. then de-
clared that in his opinion the greatest
example Of efficient business manage
ment in the world was the great ma
tional amusement organization Of
America-the circus.
Inasmuch as this mans opinions
were highly valued by his wealthy as
sociates, he was asked to explain his
reasons, and for nearly an hour this
group of busy corporation magnates
listened in breathless amazement to the
tale Of some Of the wonderful achieve
ments of the largest Of all the cir
cuses-the Barnum & Bailey Greatest
Show on Earth And the narrator
laid special emphasis on the fact that
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1916-06-30

these achievements we're only made
possible by the sternest kind of eff
ficient organization that has ever been
devised.
The Barnum & Bailey circus repre-
sents an investment of more than
s., 900 900 and it is operated at an
average daily cost of approximately
$500. It's working season consists OF
from 81 to 80 weeks and the rest of the
year it is in winter quarters where 1t
is not earning any money. During its
working seasons it carries nearly 140o
men and women on its payrolls, and
it travels from the Atlantic Seaboard
to the Pacific Coast. and from Van
couver, B. c.. to the Gulf OF Mexico
giving two exhibitions in a different
city every day. 1t travels on five spe
cial railroad trains, made up Of SO
cars, and in addition to its 400 en-
ployes it carries the largest travelling
zoo in the world. composed of 10s
cages of various wild animals, Al huge
elephants, and approximately $50
horses What wonder. then, that eff
f:ciency and system are its watch
words. To deviate from its schedule 3
single day would mean a dead loss Of
many advertised exhibitions, but its
staggering expenses would not be
minimized a particle.
All of which will furnish food for
thought to the thousa nds OF circus go :
ers who will visit the Barnum & Bailey
circus when it exhibits in Waterville
today.

IINTER-CITY CAR
SERVICE THROWN
OFF SCHEDULE

The schedule on the Waterville, An
gusta G. Lewiston Street Railway was
all thrown out of joint Thursday af-
ternoon, first by the stopping Of the
cars in Augusta during the time the
soldiers were entraining, and then by
an accident at North Eassalboro. AS
the car due in this city at $40 was
coming down the grade the other side
of the North a COW belonging to A..
NJ. Shorey tried to occupy the track
at the same time as the car and the
result was a collision which resulted
in two wheels of the car leaving the
track and removed the COW from the
land Of the living. 1t was necessary
to have the car from Waterville come
down to the wreck and transfer the
passengers and to notify the car from
Augusta which would have crossed the
Waterville car at the next siding to
come along and take the passengers
back. 1t was several hours before the
COW was finally removed from under
the car and it was returned to the
track and ready to run again. No one
vas injured although the passengers
We're somewhat shaken up by the sud-
den stopping Of the car.

sistent rumDr about the city during
the day that the gohg away was to be
delayed until Saturday and 1t was also
rumored that Captain Murray of co.
Fl had been refused acceptance because
of trouble with his eyes, but these were
both refuted during the day. Many
people expressed the wish to go down
and see the boys go but felt that the:
could not stand the parting and that
they would only max it harder for the
boys if they went and so remained at

show. 1t was also decided that the
line Of the parade would be from the
field down Gilman street to Pleasant,
down Pleasant to Western avenue to
Elm, to Spring. to Silver, to Main, to
Center street to the grounds. The po-
lice department announced Thursday
night that during the progress of the
parade up Main street the street would
be cleared Of automobiles and teams
and that no one would be allowed to
drive a team or automobile through
the street during that time. This plan
was adopted at the time Of the Flag
day parade and it worked exception
ally we'll giving the people on the side
walks a fine chance to see the parade
and worked no hardship on anyone.
Oficers will be stationed at Silver
street. Temple street, Center street
and Main street corners and on Pleas
ant street and Center street crossings
and on Gilman and Burleigh street
crossings to handle the teams and au-
tomobiles there and they have been
instructed to take the number and
name of anyone who refuses to obey
them and to have the man in court.
Also automobiles and teams going to
the circus will go out Gilman street
and across the bridge to the field but
they will not be allowed to return that
way but must keep on up around the
rangeway road and back down West
ern avenue. The police arrangements
are very complete and it is hoped to
handle the large crowd expected with
out accident.
