Con. of which governor general Forbes

Filipinos do very well in the races and

grown the far eastern Olympiad. the
organization of which is due largely
to EiwOOd s. Brown. director of ath-
letics for the Y NJ c.. A. in the Philip

BLANCHE McKENNI-HUNTER RA-
CHG COMBINATION, WITH j. q.
MILLER COMBINED SHOWS.
CHARIOT HORSE RACES AND HIGH
SCHOOL HORSES WILL BE FEAT
IRE OF THIS SHOW-MISS HUN
TER A CHAMPION DRIVER.

81 Perkins. manacr OF the Brownsville
Midwinteri Fair. rasi Just returned from
Houston where he has been for the past
week securing attractions for; the Fair.
He is very enthusiastic over having been
able to secure the Blanche Mckinney
Hunter Racing Combination. and the j..
q. Miller Combined Shows. These and 4
number of other features he is after will
afford amusement at the Fair.
The Blanche Mckenney show carries
ten head of thoroughbred running horses
and high jumping and high school horses.
This is the strongest and most %up-to-date
attractions on the road today catering
to parks and fairs. All sorts of races
are introduced, among which is a char
lot race with foGr horses TO a chariot.
This amusement will DC given free each
day.
Miss Mckinney is the lady who won
the champion relay race Of twenty miles
in Pittsburg a few years ago. In this
contest were Miss Bryant, the English
champion. and all of the worlds cracker
jack riders. Miss Mckcnncy won the
race in 4 minutes and 81 seconds. She
changed horses 10 times each change oc-
cupying but two and a half seconds.
The Miller Shows. which will occupy
the playground is also a new feature
that has never been seen here before. This
is a combination of different shows among
which are a vaudeville entertainment, a
feature wild west show. water circus, mo-
tordomc. musical comedy and trained
wild animals. Mr.. Miller has the only
troupe of trained wolves in the world, for
which he has been offered fabulous
amounts. which he has SO far declined.
The most attractive feature about this
snow is that it is clean i'm every respect.
Men need not hesitate to take their wives
and children into any of the attractions
The reason Mr.. Perkins was so forum
ate in getting these high prices attrac-
tons is that in January, when all parks
and fairs are out of commission every
where. these shows are idle. They there
fore are willing to come to Brownsville
at a much less price than they would
charge in summer season.
