In True Western Style.

In True Western Style.
Preparations for the entertainment
of northern Montana stockmen and
their friends, at the annual meeting
Of their roundup association in this
city May + and Z, were practically
completed at a meeting Of the Com
mercial Club held Monday evening.
The various committees made salts.
factory report of the work to which
they have been assigned, and their
united efforts will insure q most en-.
joyable occasion for our visitors, and
also for ourselves.
One of the features of the festivities
contemplated in the arrangements is q
cowboy camp under the management
of the Shonkin roundup, at which .
free lunch will be dispensed through
out the day. The Shonkin roundup
cook is one of the best range chefs in
Montana, and he will prepare q menu
that is calculated to tickle the palate
of visitors from the Chicago stock.
yards and other centers Of culture and
refinement, az we'll ss sppesse the ap.
petites Of his cowboy associates after
. hard days work on the range.
Bucking exhibitions. roping contests
and other wild west diversions will
also form part Of the program. 1t is
proper to state that the above features
are contingent upon the completion OF
their roundup work by the Shonkin
boys. They are gathering and driv.
ing . big herd toward the Musselshell
country, and are using their best en-
deavors to finish the job and return
here in time to attend the stockmen's
meeting. They r making good pro.
gress at present, but there is q possi.

that the show which il being prepared
in honor of the stockmen will be thu
finest ever.
There will be q public dance aftel
the chow, then a banquet, at the con
clusion of which the guests will oh
serve other folks just going to break
fast. AS Halley's comet will hav'
reached its point of greatest splendo1
and interest about the time of th'
roundup meeting, committees of loca
stockmen will take special pleasur,
In conducting visitors to local OBJ
serv atories from which the finest view
Of the heavenly wanderer may bt
secured.
Throughout the day and most of tn,
night there will be band music by tn,

Long Distance Race to Be Principal
Event of Athletic Games to
Be Held in Greece
This Year

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Interest al
ready is being evidenced by athletic
officials here in the Olympic games,
which are to be revived in stockholm,
Sweden, in June, 1912. From a commit
tee of one of the athletic clubs mere
comes the announcement that the gen
eral arrangements for the meeting al
ready have been made by the interna-
tional Olympic committee, of when
Baron Pierre Goubertin of Paris IS
president, and that the Swedish Olym-
pic committee, of which the crown
prince is honorary president, has prac-
tically completed arrangements Tor the
more important games and races.
The great event will be the Marathon
race. The Swedes will enlarge the OLD
Greek pantheon-a five-sided contest
which included running, leaplns;,
wrestling, throwing the discus ana
hurting the javelin-to what Is termed
the "tiekamp," with ten contests.

the leading idea, that of preserving the

associated with the British Olympics,
such as motor boat racing. lawn tennis
and archery, will be eliminated: The
Swedish Olympic committee will sub
nit its completed program in May 10

the fact that the arena has not been

Pop Coulon comes through with q

he states that Jimmy Austin should
have had a draw with the local favor

he adds that Jimmy is much to blame
for failing to make good because he
failed to train for the fight. Jimmy
only had a few days in which to work,
and he shirked the job through over
confidence. With proper training, Jim

little fighting machines in the world,
and his only appearance here, when he
easily disposed of any championship
aspirations that Young McGovern
might have had, was SO impressive that
he would be assured of a full house

a bit too light even for the bantam di-

CONSIDERABLE interest i'll billiards
and pool has been aroused by the
~ announcement made yesterday by
Jeems Morley that he has arranged
with Alfredo DeOro, the former three
cushion billiard and pool champion of
the world for an exhibition series Of
games beginning Monday night at the
Spring street parlors. DeOro unques-
tionably is one of the greatest three
cushion billiard players in the world,
having held the championship for a
long time, and his long tenure in office
as the premier pool player, extending
over fifteen or more years, indicates
that he knows something about this
popular game. He will play Billy
Spinks, Arthur Seymour, Walter john
son and Jim oMrley at three-cushion
billiards, and will give exhibitions or
pool playing each night. TO see the
champion in action will be rare treat
for the many billiard and pool players
of Los Angeles, and undoubtedly the
exhibitions will attract large crowds.
Pasadena citizens propose to have
some racing events to feature their
Washington's birthday program at
Tournament park and it is assured
that these will be of the first class, as
the Crown city residents know how to
do things right once they start. The
Tournament of Roses chariot contests
have always been as exciting as any,
thing staged in this vicinity, so what
ever the Pasadenans frame up is sure
to meet with the approval of all whose
blood gushes at the right moment.
