It has' not been announced as to which mem-jber of the firm will take direct charge, of the different properties. The John! Robinson circus will continue its head j quarters in Peru under the five year; contract with B. E. Wallace. The1 fact that the circus farm at West Baden was not purchased may neees-! sitate a change of winter quarters' from that p lace for the Hagenbeck- j Wallace shows eventually.
