PROGRAM OUTLINED
 FOR FRONTIER DAYS
(From Thursdays Daily.)

Arena Director Haworth has per
 fccted the plan for the programs for 1 Frontier Days, including rules and all
 other particulars required in pre- liminary way and these will be print
 ed and ready for distribution at the
 earliest possible moment. The mat
 ter now ready for the printer only carries the list of competitive events which will be run through each day program, July 3>4-5, New and thrill ing features are guaranteed, besides the regular number on each days bill. A resume of this lineup will be published late= in the week.
 Yesterday, at the Chamber of Com merce a meeting of the decoration committee was held and arrange ments were made for a decoration scheme, which, if carried out as seems very probable will enlist the CO op- peration of the city dads and furnish Prescott with permanent decoration scheme for such celebrations as the Frontier Days, Northern Arizona Fair and conventions which may be brought to the mile high city for years to come In this scheme, pur- pie and gold, the colors of the com mittee and the Fair Association, will ,,,fa rcrla tho ,,af,Ano1 c4IAre in several shapes.
 In connection with this years show, there will be daily grand parade of contestants, from the Frontier Days headquarters at 1 o'clock, precisely. The five ho-semen appearing in the parades all three days, and having the best outfit and horse and display ing the best horsemanship, will be awarded $25, SEQ, SIS, $l0 and $. These awards will be made on Mon day, July 5, the last day of the cele- bration and the winners will be photo graphed before the grandstand as the awards are made.
 Information leading to the location and securing of desirable bucking horses will be gratefully received by MT. Hawo-th, who also will welcome any other suggestions as to the pro- grams, and give them all due con sideration. A good deal of unneces- sary and unjust criticism can be spared, if the public will read the preliminary lists carefully and make their suggestions before it is too late.
 Inquiries for prize lists and rules as result of advertising done by the Frontier Days committee in the re- cent number of the Billboard are com ing in much faster this year than in the two previous years. This leads the committee to believe that the great publicity attending the former celebrations in the absolute fairness in making the awards and also the fact that all the cash prizes adver- tised were paid in full, is bearing fruit among comboys outside of Ari- zona. The range of inquiries already received is wide, extending from Nj agara Falls to San Diego and from Pendleton, Ore, to Jacksonville, Fla. well known riders and ropers the following names were selected from the mass of correspondence al ready received; Claude Kieffer, Guth rie, Okla; Joe Cramps, Delta, Colo; Thomas Mercy, Detroit, Mich; Slim Smith, Niagara Falls; Ken Manard, l Columbia, Ind; Ben Holmes, Cincin- nati; Bill Arthur, Wind River, Wyo.; and Howard Starks, Troy, N. Y. A lot of the boys of the Wild West l show who made their headquarters in New York are also inquiring and | several have said that they would be in Arizona and Prescott during the first week in July and will want to participate.
