1O1 RANCH WILD WEST.
More Information About Big Show
Coming June %.

The 1o1 Ranch Wild West Show
which will be here on June % does
give street parade and it is well
worth seeing. 1t is not the same street
pageant that is usually seen with tent
ed aggregatons. but one of pleasing
refreshness when compared to them.
1t does not in the least partake of the
time-wo circus parade. but is full
of natural features and the artificial is
nowhere in evidence. This parade.
which is over a mile in length, gives
the locker on d fair idea of what to
expect to see in the performances
There is no other Wild West Show of
any magnitude that does give street
parade, and the reason for not doing
so, is due to the fact that if it was
given. it would hurt the performances.
The 101 Ranch Wild West Show has
no uneasiness in this score. With this
show the Cow Boys, Indians, Cow
Girls, MeXicans, Arabs and in fact all
of the daring riders are reviewed with
the hundreds of other features that
make up the program with the aggre-
cation before the performance is
given, in order that the patrons may
see in advance that the show is just
what the advance advertising has
claimed it to be. The parade will also
permit the reviewing of the many
horses and their splendid condition.
1t is said that the draft horses with
the 101 Ranch Wild West Show are
far above the ordinary and stand out
in striking contrast to the tough little
mustangs, bronchos and Western po-
MES that We're created more for en-
durance than appearance. The collec-
ton of Indian ponies is the largest in
the world and a type of horse seldom
seen away from the plains and land
of the red man. There are over five
hundred horses of all kinds in the sta
bles of the 101 Ranch Wild West and
they are an interesting study. Not in
Guiding the heavy draft horses, the
Arabian and Kentucky bred horses
come in for the most admiration and
they are excellent representatives of
their sires. Every horse with the ex
ception of the buckers are in the pa
rade and the collection would be hard
to duplicate.
The parade will leave the show
grounds at $50 in the morning Of the
day of exhibition and pass through

Indian musicians. tom-tom beaters,

and of course the calliope. In all it
will be the most novel and most in

seen here.
Two performances are given daily
by the 10l Ranch Wild West Show.
The afternoon performance at 2
O'Clock and the evening performance
at 8 o'clock. Doors to the Indian VIII
lage and band concert open one hour
earlier. The management requests
that as far as possible and convenient
that the ladies and children not ac-
companied by escorts attend the af
ternoon performance and thus avois
the rush at night. There are fifty uni
formed ushers to care for them and
see that they are comfortably seated.
Two wagons on the grounds and a
down town ticket Office will be open
for the sale of seats. Every seat is
so situated that a full and unobstruct
