A decided novelty is promised in the
special features. The Fair management
has secured johnson & Emerson's fa-
nous bucking bull and their band Of out
law bueking horses. The bull. Il is
claimed, has never been ridden. and its
owners say that il cannot be. No doubt
many Of our expert riders will be OF a
different opinion so that the most inter-

outlaw horses are guaranteed to be all
that the term outlaw" implies and will
make things exciting to those who at
tempt to ride them. This exhibition will
bs given every afternoon during the Fair
and will alone be worth the price Of ad-
mission.
