roper at the wild west show for the
afternoons and grand torch bearer at

he will be able to CLEAN with his usual

grand entry on parade of the Vaquero
club, the parade to include the stage
and arranged as we may afterward
see fit.
"As the parade comes to the grand
stand the second time those who take
part in the quadrille will form without
fl rther notice and the horseback quad
rifle will then be performed, making
