The show, as usual, Is full of western
such as are added each year What
most people go to the show to see is
the fine shooting, the exhibition Of the
rough riders Of all nations, the expert lasso
throwing and the like: but there Is added

The ranch house Is shown with all of its
surroundings that the limitations Of the

indulge in rough riding. picking up objects

going through square dances on horseback
In addition to regular features that might
be seen during an afternoons sport around

OF western bronchos that have been trained
to do more remarkable tricks than have
ever been taught any other western horses
1t Is really the first lot Of western horses
that have ever been broken to the high

much ease and grace as trained circus

There are number of other typical west
