COWGIRLS AT THE GARDEN
Daring Bronco Busters Are
Features of "101 Ranch"

The cowgirls constitute very important
part of the "1Ol Ranch" show up at Madl-
son Square Garden. There are probably
fifty Of these natty. healthy, sinuous-
looking girls. and they vie with the cow
boys in performing daring and neck
risking stunts on Indian broncos and
outlaw horses. They are a picturesque
lot too, and even the Indians in their
war paint and feathers do not attract
any more admiring attention.
One of the most interesting features Of
the performance made so, undoubtedly
by its strenucusness and air Of danger
is the bronco busting. The girls take
turns riding the wild horses. and II is
seldom that one is thrown. and even If
an accident befalls, il is rarely serious.
for the girls betray remarkable facility

ponies when they involuntarily take a
