SOMETHING ABOUT
TRAINED HORSES
Buffalo Bits Wild West and Pawnce
BiI,s Far East Carries the Only
Troupe of Westrn Range Horses.

For the first time shown In public,
| the troupe of real western range
horses, which will be with Buffalo
Bills Wild West and Pawnee Bills
Far East should attract uncommon at
| tention Never before have the direct
descendants of the wild horses of the
| plains been broken to do the tricks
of the thoroughbred circus horse. Ray
Thompson is owner of the troupe, and
he Is the man, who, after years of
patient practice, has successfully .ac-
complished the task of training west
ern range horse.
The more subdued temperament of
the thoroughbred makes him amenable
to the master hand. The well-bred
circus horse is a fitting subject for the
trainers skill but the western range
horse, born to the open, resents the
curb and bit and starts to bucking.
Thus is unusual credit to RAY Thomp-
son for the patience and skill which
he has evidence in breaking the word
of command to him troupe of 'out
laws"
Joe Bailey is the star performer in
the Thompson group, and he Is said
to be the most perfect specimen OF
equine beauty ever exhibited in public.
He performs some really wonderful
feats, is subservient to the word of his
trainers command. and has a nature
which is the admiration of everyone
connected with this exhibition. There
are several other clever horses in the
Thompson bunch, but Joe Bailey is the
star of the troupe, and he seems to
know 1T. He is as susceptible to ap-
plause as human actor. and seems to
enjoy the center of the arena as much
as his master enjoys having him
there
There are contrasting displays of
Workmanship and horsefiesh with the
