me weather man although on his
pad behavior and giving tie baseball
fans taste of what bad weather he
can hand out If he wants too, has
communicated with the management of
the Young Buffalo Wild west shows
and has faithfully promised to do all
In his power to make showday on next
Friday a success and will furnish
clear sunshining day
Among the horses, steers, bronchos
buffaloes, cowboys. Indians and other
concomitents of the wild and wooly''
west with the Young Buffalo Wild
west shows is an element new to this
community. The Cow Girl, the lady
broncho buster, the feminine conquer
er of beef and horns, the lassoer in
lingerie, the rough rider in ribbons
and ruches
The Cow Girl is development of
the stock-raising West comparing with.
the bachelor and the independent
women OF the east. She is not of the
new women class nor of the ort that
discards her feminine attributes and
tries to ape the man, simply lively,
athletic young woman with a super
fluffy of nerve and animal spirits,
with realization that in affairs where
skill is the chief qualification she has
an equal chance with her brothers.
Those who expect to see group of
raw-boned, masculine Amazons in
these COW girls wi suffer keen dis
appointment, for there is not one OF
them who would not-and does not
cut dainty figure on the floor of a
ball room. From eBatrice Sargent
champion all-round COW girl of the
west, to Belle leslie, noted for skill
ahorse, they are as pretty collection
OF girls as ever set masculine Learts
aflutter. Miss Sargent's fame he's pre-
ceded her. Her achievements in the
saddle have given her title to t ,e
claim of being one of the most fearless
and accomplished horsewomen in the
world. She can rope, throw and tie
steer in something less than a min
ute. From the time she was first able
to sit on horse has been intense
ly fond OF anything in the way of
equestrianism, and no feat performed
among the COW boys has ever baffled
her. She learned to throw the lariat
with a skill wonderful for girl; but
that was not enous for her. She
wanted to learn how to do it better
than the cleverest cowboy on the
range and roundup, and finally came
the time when the men could learn
something by watching Beatrice.
Beatrice Sargent, however, is not
the only wonderful cowgirl who shows
her skill with the Young Buffalo Wild
West Shows A score of others are
close rivals in all the picturesque md
spectacular achievements. They ride
'bucking horses that even the reck-
less cowboys fear Their racing con.
tests are so stubbornly fought out that
limb and even life are at stake. Their
trick" riding is the despair of mascu-
line imitators.
There will be wild-horse races, buffa-
10 hunts, Indian war dances, crack
craftsmanship, steer roplng, branding,
Mexican bull fight, roundup, cow
boy pastimes, "bucking" horses, with
the Young Buffalo Wild West. But
the feature of features in parade and
in arena, it it is promised, will be the
Cow Girl.
