isstic crowds. The attendance was be-
yond ,ail texpectations and the daily
program was pronounced by many the
Il best they had ever seen here or any
where else. AL rough stuff, such as
Sr0ping and tying of steers. bulldogging,
I ETC., was cut out, and stunts just as

substituted, such as shooting the

been no feature that causes more fun

including shooting the chutes'', and

tory, and the management reports that
all bills presented have been paid, and
