P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 85
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Early in July, returning west with a new company of performers, I rejoined Hawley and we began our campaign in Kentucky. We were not successful; one of our small company was incompetent; another was intemperate--both were dismissed; and our negro-singer was drowned in the river at Frankfort. Funds were low and I was obliged to leave pledges here and there, in payment for bills, which I afterwards redeemed. Hawley and I dissolved in August and making a new partnership with Z. Graves, I left him in charge of the establishment and went to Tiffin, Ohio, where I re-engaged Joe Pentland, buying his horses and wagons and taking him, with several musicians, to Kentucky.

白话
七月初，巴纳姆带着新团队西行，与霍利重聚，在肯塔基开始巡演。但不太成功：一个团员无能，一个酗酒，都被解雇；他们的黑人歌手在法兰克福溺水身亡。资金紧张，他只好到处赊账，后来才还清。八月与霍利散伙，与格雷夫斯合伙，把生意交给他，自己去俄亥俄州蒂芬，重新聘用彭特兰，买下他的马和车，带着几个音乐家回到肯塔基。核心是：创业常遇挫折，要灵活调整伙伴和资源，及时止损并寻找新机会。
