FROM CIRCUS RIDER TO SHOW MANAGER
tarlea fl, Charleston, tha Yoasg
f Colored Mis from St. Paal,
'-' is a Wall of Iu-
14 rormaiion.
Many old and shrewd residents of Omaha
shook, their heads when Dr. C. DeGarmo
Gray came about tha first of August,
opened headquarters and began to prepare
for tha city's first horse show. The sub
iaot bad been discussed for four years, or
aver since tha doctor paid a visit to his
fd friend, W. H. MoCord. the one Omahan
owning a stable caimblu of all around com
petition ia a first-class horse show.
Tba business of Dr. C. DeGarmo Gray is
organising and d'.raoting borso shows. He
has aa offloo at 2t2 Commonwealth Trust
building in St. Louis, and, aa bis secretary
said, ba la not exactly an inexpensive nun.
lit. Gray's career lias considerable inter
est in It.. When Barnum A Bailey's circus
was In town tha ringmaster, a veteran
'vow man, remarked that ha had noted Dr.
vy s preaenca In every pounlry of tha
M wbera tha natives kew enough to
parformance of any known variety.
uia by running away from hoina
a circus and has reached tha atasra
ua'cnangos walstcaau V utaUlt tka
woodwork. Tha beginning was with John
Robinson's circus, that famous early sTiow,
In the '00s.
Coinea From a Horaa State,
Tha . doctor's middle name, DeGarmo,
came to America with Ponce da Leon, the
gentleman who emigrated from Spain a few
hundred years ago in quest of the fountain
of youth. Tha doctor came to it through
his mother, a descendant of tha companion
of Ponce. Hie father was of Scotch descent
and the horse show manager was born in
Kentucky in 1863,
When the John Robinson show came to
the little town of Florence the doctor was
11 years old. The ahow wintered there and
tha boy apent every available hour with
his friends, the' horses. It gave him his
first tuste of the show business and his
appetite was whetted. He joined the show
and was taught to ride In the ring by one
9t tha old performers. Ills mother asked
him to drop tha family name. Gray, and
to use her's, so aa a circus perfo. mer he
was known as DoGarmo. '
Eventually the doctor drifted to tha Bar
num show, Joining it at Bridgeport, Conn.
Ha had neither friends nor money and bad
to take the only work offered, that of sew
ing spangles on Ughta, How diligently ha
did this Is not recorded, but he soon got
olosaly associated with his old friends, tha
horaes, a rain, and rode them in tha ring
for four rears. Tba famous old equestrian,
Dan Coatollo, was one of tha doctor's fel
low riders.
Father m Hlas Hesie.
But UUa course of true showmanship did
not always run smooth. Onoa his father
.found him and taok btra back taosne to Kaav
tucky, but tha buy slajsd juat lug enough
to get through a grammar school, Then ha
ran away.
The great holocaust in Chicago In 1871
cam under the keen observation of tha
doctor and he Journeyed to the Illinois
city. He looked for a theater wherein to
dissipate his talents and found the Adelpht,
tho only one open, owned aud conducted
by Jamas Haverly, Young Gray made tha
coupling with Haverly and stayed with the
colonel twelve years. He thinks his luter
success was due to the schooling under
Haverly. The Job took him all over the
United States and to England In U7D, when
the Mastodon minstrels first delighted
Britons at Her Majesty's theater in Lunnon
town.
American "show paper" was exhibited in
London for the first time. It nta.de a hit.
They suy people blocked tha atreet to gase
at the huge posters in strenuous colors.
Anyhow the royal children saw them and
would not stop cry lug until they had a
set to play with. Sir Francis Knollys,
secretary to the prlnca of Wales, was dis
patched post haste to buy a bunch of litho
graphs, no matter what the cost. The
gods had him In their care and delivered
him to Dr. Gray. The doctor was Oiling
bis position as "outatds man" in front of
tho theater. Ha had his trousers rolled
up, so Sir Francis bad tba couraga to ask
him about tho posters. Tha doctor sane
Knollys home with his arms laden Uks
thoaa of a commuter.
Back to Hta Itoawa,
But tha doctor could not keep away from
horses, so ha, studied tha breeds n Kt,s
land. Later iia went to Parts and for thru
years was an attache at tha Conooun
IAppWiu. Ha inixadnoed American advar.
Using scke nias aoa mads tH'tr-ar alt
r
Monte Carlo called upon him next, not for
cash, but as director of amusements. This
ha was for seven years.
Dr. Gray cama back home, finally, only
to find fresh honors laid upon his brow.
He was appointed by President Cleveland
to represent American industries at the
Paris exposition In USD. Subsequently he
was engaged by the French government to
obtain amusements at the exposition.
After following pilgrimages with horse
shows, flower shows and other kinds of
ontertalnment tn Alexandria, Bombay, Cal
cutta and Colombo, Australia demanded
his versatility. From tho South Seas ha
got Into South Africa and conducted a
successful trade exposition at Pretoria, re
maining there while the Jamleson raid war
In progress.
Back from South Africa, grt with new
glories and experience, ha was called upon
by the lata General John A. Logan and
Major Hayward to assist in putting on the
first horse show in Chicago. It was a
great success. Sines then tha doctor has
confined himself to tha horse ahow bualneai
in the United States and his career has
been uniformly successful. Ha gets tha
Utla "Doctor" by reason of the fact that
ba studied and completed a course of med
icine which ha never bos practiced.
Charleston a Wondor.
During tha horse show, many questions
ware asked oonoemlng tha personality of
Charlea G. Charleston, tho young colored
man who sarvad sa clerk of tba arena.
Wall a tha doctor la giving snows, Charlea
ion acts as his assistant and private sec
retary. All of tha details of the show
proper, Including tha entries, events, music,
appointment, ate. are tn his oara. Tba
doctor, aflar Ike fcuUa awuadeg far ths
first exhibition, relied almost entirely on
Charleston and entrusted about everything
In tha way of execution to him.
"Boys," eald tha doctor to the reporters
the first night, "don't talk to mo. 8ee
Charley. Here, Charley, take these news
paper men and tell them everything they
want to know, but for heaven's sake keep
them away from me.'"
It was not necessary for a reporter to
even think about Dr. Gray after that.
Everything he 'wanted to know was sup
piled on the instant by CharleHton. Fre
quently all of them bombarded Charley
with questions at once, while the Judge
besieged the colored man on the other s'.de
and Dr. Gray was Impatiently demanding
information from any old point of the com
pass. But Charley satisfied all. No one
had to wait a second upon him. No re
porter had to move from the Judges' box
to get every detail of the arena, tha latest
post entry or the gossip from the stables.
Mr. Charleston is a native of Canada and
Is 26 years old. . His regular occupation Is
that of private secretary to W. G. Carllng
of St. Paul. Mr. Carllng taught him what
ba knows about horse shows and horses,
for tha St. Paul man gives a show of his
