The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-11-08

The parade and horse show yester-
day afternoon, held as a feature of
the Elks' Carnival, was the greatest
success of any similar event ever pull,
ed off in Roswell. Old timers declare
that the collection of show animals
on this occasion was never equalled
in the Pecos Valley or the entire ter
ritory. In the parade and shown in
the prize ring at the carnival grounds
were 10 animals led by footmen and
81 more driven in harness, making a
total of 116 show horses, mules, etc.
II made a procession as it passed
down Main street that surprised the
people in its magnificence as much
as the fake flour parade the day before
when they were looking for a flower
display.
The parade started at the Roswell
Trading Company's yards, moved
down Main from First to Fifth, and
when the head of it was moving into
the carnival grounds, the tail was still
being organized at the trading com
pany's yards. The horses moved in
single file and were so close together
they had to stop at times to wait for
those to move forward This will give
some idea of the immensity of the af
fair. The carnival grounds were in
adequate to hold the show horses and
crowd
AT the carnival grounds the amphi-
theatre and bleechers were almost
filled and probably three hundred peo-
pie stood in the space that had been
roped off for them. They watched with
great interest the showing of the var
ious classes of animals and awarding
of premiums by the judges, w. G.
Hamilton Captain Murray and J. r. |
Dendinger.
After the show animals had been
exhibited and prizes given, the driv- |
ing contests were called. This was
probably the most interesting part of
the whole affair. The winners of all
premiums are given in the list below, |
but it must be mentioned that in some |
classes there We're many entries and |
often it was almost toss up as to |
which should have the prize. Every |
animal shown was worth seeing, al
though only part received prizes.
The whole vaIIey was represented i
in the show and Dexter and Hagerman
carried off good share of the aonors.
The horse men are delighted with
the interest shown in the horse SHOW
1t was a creditable exhibition for any
locality in the old states. 1t is to be-
come an annual event and the Elks
claim it is their own affair. If it be-
comes an annual affair, as planned,
it will do much good for the stock of
the community.
