The Tent Exhibition witch isate
Appear in Yankton Next Wednesday
Coles Monster Combination.
Cole has certainly got the most com
plets and satisfactory hippodrome I ever
saw, and L have attended all the hippo.
drome tournaments that have been done
In this country during the last ten
years, remarked q we'll known st. Louis
journalist, now sojourning ilere for a
few days, while talking with q party of
gentlemen at a popular city resort last
evening, "Mr. Cole" continued the
speaker, "was one of the first managers
to Introduce the hippodrome with tented
shows, he first producing it as far back
as '7o. His was then considered the
most elaborate of any travelling hippo
drome, but the public at that time was
hardly educated UP to the desire for
these classic sports, and other attrac-
lions proving more profitable. Manager
Cole abandoned the hlppodrome, but
with no little reluctance. His gag
ment of DR.. w. L. Carver's wild
West combination for the present tour
made the construction of an unusually
large tent necessary, and as the
cowboys, indians and vaqueros re-
quire a large track for theiT exhibitions,
Mr.. Cole decided to kill two birds with
one stone, as it were, by utilizing this
track for his long cherished scheme of
the Roman hippodrome, as we'll as for
the illustrations of border lite. SO at
last, Coles hobby, the only one I ever
knew him to entertain, has been put
INTO practical form. 1t is in every
respect a notable production and
arouses the enthusiasm of base
show goers as no other tented attraction
can. After all, any individual, male or
female, whose blood doesn't tingle at
the sight of a spirited race between
thoroughbred horses must have a very
frlgld temperament. To say the least,
Coles running stock will compare
iaVorabiy, as regards pedigree and
speed, with the best of American stables.
He uses, l believe, forty horses in all for
the %hippodrome, twenty of them being
imported English thoroughbreds, while
the other flyers COM from the blue
grass regions of Kentucky. The pro.
gramme is unusually novel and elabor-
ate, including genHsmen's jockey races,
two and four horse Roman chariot
races, man against q running horse,
elephant, camel, pony and donkey
contests, wheel-barrow and sack races,
and a LADIES' steeple chase. The latter
is the most thrilling and sensational Of
the series. and fairly set
st. Louis wild during tho
week Cole exhibited there. The six girls
who ride in this race are the most fear
less eanestriennes | ever saw. They are
said to be savagely jealous of each other,
and each will resort to any trick to shut
the others out. Another prominent
feature of the hippodrome, but of q
humorous character, is the obstacle race.
Some twenty men run in this contest.
All kinds OF distractions are placed on
the track, and the men are obliged to
crawl through barrels, nets and other
barricades, jump hurdles, walk creased
poles, and go through other ludicrous
movements before reaching the goal. II
any of the contestants deserve casE
prizes, these fellows certainly do. You'll
find Coles races as exciting as any
struggles you ever saw OF a regular race
track" exclaimed the st. Louis scribe, as
he jumped into q carriage with a local
pencilpusher, to take a drive around the
