Fifty head of the widest broncs obtainable in the Southwest are at the Frontier Days arena, waiting anxiously for the big contests. Numerous contestants from outside Arizona are already on the ground and each day brings new riders. Prescott will be the fiesta city of Arizona during Frontier Days and all care will be laid aside during the celebration, which has made the Mile High City famous and Pres colt, which was one of the best frontier day towns in the West will hearken back to the period when every man was judged according to his strength. Prescott will be ablaze with the National and official colors and the decorations committee has taken means to insure that Prescott will be gay with the purple and gold. Cowboy hats will force straw bonnets into the discard and chaps and spurs will be the ruling sarotir- sl decorations. Every detail has been completed by the various committees, working under the directorship of E. A. Kastner. Be- sides the contests and sports at the Frontier Days grounds, evening entertainments are planned, in- cluding band concerts, out-of-aoor dancing, etc. Comfortable accomo- dations are assured every one at tending the celebration and there will be no overcharging for rooms or meals.
