THE WILD WEST
Shows PROGRAM
Fine Sport Assured by the
Coming Cowboys of the
Wyoming Ranges.

| "S H0bSSSs
The arrangements for the big WILD
west show to take place in Honolulu
/ on the 14th of next month have now
been fully completed and preparations
are being made rapidly for the coming
| event. An essential feature of the
show-wild eattle-has already been
provided for and the cattle for the
second cowboy tournament will be as
lively as anyone could desire. Wild
cattle are being trapped as rapidly as
possible on the big cattle ranges and
corralled ready for shipment to Homo
lulu at the right time.
One of the Cheyenne cowboys is al
ready on hand TO compete in the vari-
Gus events and entries are pouring in
by every mail from the other islands.
Everywhere on the Big Island ranches
groups of cowboys can be seen at all
times and seasons discussing the forth
coming contest and practise is being
carried on daily.
The first big cowboy contest which
occurred two years ago was tremen-
dous success and there is every reason
to believe that the coming show will
be even greater. The first show was
gotten up on the spur of the moment
and without preparation. The forth
coming show is being very deliberately
prepared and will undoubtedly be a
big feature for Honolulu.
