dertake a journey around the earth on
foot for a pool Of $4,000. Each one

sum In the Bank Of Dublin, and it was

On Dec. "a. 1895, they started east

In no part of the habitable glooe
are there better lady riders than
can be found in the west. A girl
must be able to ride if she wants
to visit her neighbors often. And
how some of these young creatures
can manage a horse. What pic
lures of beauty, daring and health
they are as they come dashlng along
at full speed, playing games, chas-
ing each other or racing just FOR
fun. Indeed, horseback riding Is
as common and easy a pastime TO
a wild Western girl" as trolley
riding is to city girl.
The Western girl goes everywhere
on horseback. She can join set
of equine quadrilles or Virginia reel
and .gallop twenty miles on an err
rand without feeling the slightest
fatigue. She keeps company, 60
es to school, visits her next door
neighbor' (maybe fifteen miles) all
on the back of her favorite pony.
Yes, the Western girl can certainly
ride, as you will readily perceive
when you witness the performance
of the bevy of Western Beauties
with Kit Carson's Buffalo Ranch
Big Three-Ring Wild West Circus.
Watch them in the Hippodrome Ra-
ces; note their skill and fearless
ness, be enchanted by their beauty,
spell4bound by their achievements,
and awakened to the pleasures and
enjoyment of the competition by
their silyery ringing laughter.
There are many things worth see
ing with this splendid attraction,
but not one prettier or more like
ly to be a gratifying afterthought
in your memory than the lovely
wild Western girl with sparkling
eyes and rosy cheeks who flashed
by you on the back of plunging
steed.

noon and night. on Thursday, Sept.
