ROOSEVELT ASKED
President Invited to Attend
State Wide Fair.
Asked for Day on Which Miss
Mulhall Rides.
FRIEND OF FAMILY.
He Gave Her Bride She Uses
in Exhibitions.
Once Accomuanied Him on Long
Once Accompanied Him on Long
Ride in Oklahoma.

Secretary Kreipe of the state fair
board last night sent an invitation to
President Roosevelt to attend the Kan
sas state fair on the date that Miss
Lucille Mulhall does her riding and
roping act. This invitation is not so
far fetched as would appear at first
blush. The president is acquainted
with Miss Lucille and has seen her
rope and ride. He gave her the hand
some bride now on exhibition at
wolverton's harness store and she rode
with him on the famous six days tour
of the big pasture in Oklahoma a few
years ago. The president dearly loves
such an exhibition as will be given by
the Mulhalls in Topeka and would
doubtless come If the distance were not
SO far.
Philadelphia Ledger, October, 1904:
President Roosevelt on his six days
ride in Oklahoma and Indian territory
last year, Miss Lucille Mulhall, who
has brought her herd of bucking
bronchos to this city essayed cross
saddle ride down Market street yester-
day and didn't like it.
Its so stupid, riding in the CITY,"
she explained. philadelphia is a dear
place and like it tremendously to look
at. But it's no place for prairie girl
to ride horseback. There's always
| something in the way.
you see 1 have always lived all my
| life on a big ranch in Oklahoma where
dad has $4,000 acres for me to ride in.
| I've trained and ridden horses and
done stunts with a lariat all my life.
President Roosevelt is a friend of
| mine. He is also a friend of dads
| that's how I happened to take the ride
with him. He stopped at our ranch
and my sister and went along on the
tour. There were several women in
| the party when we started, but we rode
| six days and never went less than fifty
miles a day and the others dropped
out. They couldn't stand it. But
loved 1t. You see am used to horses
and riding"
| Machinery Exhibit.
That the machinery exhibit at the
Kansas state wide fair will be one OF
the largest and best shown west of the
Mississippi river this year is assured
from the number and class of the en-

State Fair Notes.
Speaking of the supposed HANDICAP
of tents for the exhibits, Secretar.
Kreipe said today that at many OF tn
! biggest fairs in the country tent
were being used this year for tn
horticultural and agricultural exhibit
and they answered all purposes as we
as a half million dollar building. The

but they care for the exhibits and g.
low attractive decorations. too.
