We have al heard it said time and
again that it is rarely possible to lead
a horse out of stable that Is on fire
He is like human being in panic
his terror overcomes every other feel

The famous Georgia Minstrels" played here last Monday night to crowded house. The fact that they were putting up good show had preceded them, and they did not throw off any. From the rais- ing of the curtain till its final drop the audience was kept in state of expectancy of what was to happen next-and it happened. The chorus work of the company was excellent, as was the solo and quartet work. Musicians, sketch artists, come dians, acrobats. a contortionist, etc. :, added to the interest, and they each are possibly without peers in their lines. So we'll was the audience pleased that some were desirous of having the company stay over for another nights performance.

Will Open at Phoenix

Horsemen and those who like to see the ponies under the whip are elated over the news that the Rocky Mountain circuit is planning to open the season in Phoenix about April 25 and continue for the week.
 Denver officials of the Rocky Mountain circuit have practically decided to open in Phoenix. Other cities in the circuit are Fl Paso, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Trinidad, Pueblo, Denver, and possibly some of the larger cities of Montana.
 When the territorial fair closed here in December it was announced that the next racing meet at the local track would probably take place in March. Advices from Dem yer are that it will be a month later.
 With the circuit opening in Phoe- nix it is likely that many of the horse owners will bring them here several weeks in advance of the meet in order to take advantage of the local climate to condition them. Some of the best horses in the west will be here to enter the rates.- Enterprise.
