Chairman Entertainment Committee.
The object in making this announce
ment is to give all DESTROYS of entering
the lists an opportunity of practicing to
perfect themselves and to train their
steeds for the course.
Tournaments have been in vogue in
the south for many years and there are
in this state many young men who have
made records in the tilt for rings and
honors.
Many have announced their intention
of entering the contests and ere the list
is closed it is expected there will be fully
fifty contestants
The committee of arrangements are
making strenuous efforts in the matter
and nothing will be left undone to make
it a success.
