HERE'S A BUDGET OP
FRONTIER DAY NEWS
(From Sundays Daily.)

office of Martindell, Horne & Co.
F. G.. Brown, treasurer of the From
tier Days committee, has this i'm
portant matter in charge and as
only fifty boxes are available for
sale, it is very probable that there
will be a great rush for them. The
price is SIS. Each box will con-
tain six chairs thus bringing the
price per seat down to about six
ty cents.
The Program Committee, owing
to many requests from local riders
and cowmen, has added COW pony
races as one of the items of the
daily program. The prizes for each
day, July 3-4-5, will be $35; $40;
SIS; $40. The race on July 3 will
be for cowgirls. On July and )
cowboy races will be run. The dis
tances are: one-quarter, one-half'
and one-quarter mile respectively.
Real Horse Race.
An item which is bound to bring
out some of the speedy horseflesh
of Yavapai and other counties has
been added for July 6, when a free
| for all one-half mile running race
with one purse only, 500, will be
run. Entrance fee, which will be
added to the purse, is S. and any
horse may enter. This race will
be run on July 6. The committee
has added this race to give horses
which have been worked in races
chance. The rules for the cow
boys and cowgirls' races prescribe
strictly that only neck-reined COW
ponies, which are actually being
used for cow work and have not
been worked out as race horses,
will be allowed in these events.
Jason Stanley, one of the noted
trick ropers and riders of the world
and champion broncho buster OF
California, 1912 has entered from
Urbana, Illinois. OF Jason, more
anon.
After three months correspond
ence with Otto Cline, worlds cham
pion roper and bull-dogger and one
of the top notchers in the bust
ness of fancy riding, now with
Barnur and Bailey's great show in
New York City, it locks very prob
able that Otto will be in Prescott
on July 2
Farnum May Come.
! Marshal Farnum, directing man
ager of Miller Brothers Motion
Picture Department, at the cele-
brated 1Ol Ranch, Bliss, Okla,
writes Secretary Fraser under date
of June 10, that he will try hard
to come to Prescott for the big
celebration. He says George Hook
err, who is probably the best fancy
rider ever seen in Yavapai coun-
tv, is with the l0l ranch show,
East, but has threatened to resign
/ If necessary to get to Prescott.
Hooker still thinks he can win in
the fancy riding. The Cuneos and
Jordans are planning to come with
Farnum. as is also Mrs. Helen Far
mum. II Marshal comes, ne says
he will bring two or three OF the
best boys from the l0l Rranch with
him.
One of the bleachers, with ca
pacity of 1000 spectators, was conf
pleted last night and the crew OF
twenty men will have the other
bleachers and the new group OF
ltwenty-four boxes finished by We'd
nesday morning. Chairman Ha-
worth has placed an order for ade-
quate seating capacity in a small
string OF bleachers in the arena
for the use of contestants only.
New Road, Too.
The new road, being contlnu-
alton of Gurley street and thence
on Willow street and following the
line of the former old road to the
Fair Grounds, which obviates the
necessity OF crossing the railroad
track, will be completed by Mon
day night. This road is OF good
width and of easy grade and while
a trifle soft now, will be in hne
shape by the time it will be called
upon to carry the traffic to and
from the Fair grounds. With the
completion of this road, a continu-
Gus loop to and from the Far
grounds will be completed which
will relieve the congestion for 60
ing and returning vehicles and OBJ
viate the confusion, SO apparent
last year.
While it is hoped that rain VIII
come before the celebration, all ar
ranoeueutS have been met whereby
