The catawbas at the Corn Show.
Columbia State, Sunday: Swimming
Buck, one Of the young Indians OF the
Catawba tribe, was taken sick Friday
night and returned to the nation, near
Rock Hill, Saturday afternoon. Red
Cloud, a former chief, arrived yester-
day at the exposition grounds to take
his place. Red Cloud was chief in his
time, but he failed in the champion
ship game. the present chief becoming
the leader. Ex-Chief Red Cloud will
form an added attraction at the Indian
booth, as he Is an adept at making pot
terry, and in the old-fashioned Indian
games. He is planning to arrange for
a real Catawba war dance, provided
the exposition management has no OBJ
lection. AS but few people have ever
seen q real Indian war dance, and as
none have ever seen Catawba Indian
dance, a large crowd will doubtless be
on hand to witness the performance.
Another attraction that the Indians.
under the direction Of Standing Bull,
are planning, Is a fox-chase dance. AS
considerable ground is required for
this dance, 1t has not been decided
whether to pull this off in the building
or on the field outside. The pottery
has drawn large crowds daily,
but few persons ever having before
had the opportunity to see real Indian
pottery, let alone witnessing the pro-
cess of making. A ready sale has
been found for all the pottery that
can be made; also all the members had
on hand when they arrived.
Winthrop at the Corn Show.
Columbia State, Tuesday: The Win
throp girls were a decidedly decorative
feature Of the exposition yesterday.
There were 600 of them. They came
down from Rock Hill yesterday morn
ing In a special train Of ten coaches
which was parked on the track In the
rear Of the exposition building. Many
relatives and friends Of the Winthrop
girls seized the opportunity Of seeing
them and the exposition both at one
time. AS a result the attendance at
the exposition yesterday was good.
when the weather was taken into con-
sideration. All exhibitors know, too,
that Monday is never a big day at any
show. The Winthrop girls hovered in
bevies around the various exhibits,
paying special attention to the excel
lent ones gotten up by their alma ma
ter which have attracted so much ia
vorable comment at the Corn show.
Shortly after noon many Of the girls
went down to their special train and
pot q "hand-o,ltn There were MANY
fortunate ones whose relatives and
friends came armed with baskets and
boxes of tempting lunch, making the
trip to the commissary department on
the train unnecessary. 1t was to all
a pleasant day for the
Winthrop girls and the exposition was
fortunate to have been
graced by their presence. The Win
throp contingent went back to Rock
Hill last night leaving on their special
train about o'clock.
