Jay Rial, for twenty years press ngent of tho Bnrnum & Bailey circus, died yesterday of pneumonia nt n hotel In Wlnston-Salcm, N. O. Ho had been 111 but n few dnys. He was Blxtyclgbt years old. " j Jay Rial was ono of the most mlque figures In the circus world. He wns nt home In nny city from Canada to the Gulf and from coast to coast, and was the recognized diplomat of tho tnnbark ring. His portfolio was n shenf of cir cus pictures nnd press notices, rich In dazzling adjectives, nnd an apparently Unlimited supply of complimentary tick ets to the "big top." Mr. Rial was famljlnr with Industrial conditions In every section of the coun try. He knew officials in every city, nnd could tell offhand how much Al toona, Pa., or Peoria, Illi, charged for parade privileges. Jay Rial believed circus folks were Just as good In every respect ns other people, and he kept hnmmering away at that Idea In nlmost every ndvnnce no tice ho ever wrote. He had a personal ity that made Itself felt the minute he entered n newspaper office. Beforo ho went out ahead of the Bnr num show, twenty years ago, Mr. Rial had engaged in theatrical enterprises. One of his first big ventures wns a road production of "Undo Tom's Cabin," which scored a big success. Ho tried cold mining in South Afrlcn. and was in Australia with n theatrical production when the bubonic plague forced him to return to America. He managed several Chicago theatres.
