COL. YELLS WITH
DELIGHT AT SHOW
Roosevelt Acts Like Boy at Cir
Gus During Wild West
Performance

New York, Aug. 9. - Colonel
Roosevelt had the time of his life yes
terday at Sheepshead Bay Speedway,
where a series of Far West contests
were staged. He mingled freely with
the cowboys and cowgirls, borrowed a
Nombrero and rode upon a cowpony,
swapped yarns with the old-time
Westerners whom he met and said to
the newspaper men present:
IAN extraordinary spectacle, by
George! Typically American and
wonderfully done! THESE boys are not
too proud to fight"
Yelling with delight, chuckling and
cheering, his ardent personality reach
ed out over the track and infield and
spurred the contestants on to feats
even more thrilling than usual.
Like Boy at Circus
At o'clock he telephoned home
to hold his dinner until o'clock or
later, that he was going to stay until
the finish. After the contests were
over the Colonel, popped up on a
pony, rode around, talked with the
boys and didn't leave for home until
Like boy at his first circus was the
Colonel. Beside him sat Mrs. Luella
Irwin Jones, who as Luella Irwin won
at Cheyenne last year the title of
champion lady relay rider of the
world.
This is the greatest show of its
kind I have ever seen," said the
Colonel afterward. 1T is the real
Western stuff, like the Cheyenne show,
only much bigger and with more
champions and better contestants.

IT Is CORPORAL
FRANK MYERS NOW
Local Man Received Promotion
on Border; Writes About
Conditions There

Frank Myers, brother or DR.. H. c.
Myers and DR.. D. Edward. Myers of
the borough, who was mustered in at
Mt. Gretna recently as private in Co.
f, Eighth Regiment U. S. Infantry,
which is now at Camp Stewart on the
Texas border, has been promoted to
corporal of his company, the promo
ton dating from August l.
In notifying his Steelton brothers of
his promotion, Corporal Myers stated
that he made his first arrest on the
evening he received his new appoint
ment and that 'he got his man." In
describing weather conditions in that
part of Texas, Corporal Myers said
that the nights were so cold it required
pair of the heaviest blankets to
sleep comfortably. In contrast to this
the days are just the reverse, the
thermometer usually reaching 100 de-
grees in the shade, and occasionally
going a trifie higher.
In speaking of the food furnished

very satisfying and in his persona,

Frank Myers, who is stationed at
FL Paso with the Pennsylvania Ma
tional Guard, in q letter to his brother
DR.. D. Edward Myers. 423 Swatara
street, said that he does not expect to
leave FL Paso before October.
In the letter he told his brother that
he has not seen any hardship in the
camps and that there is plenty OF
water. Shower baths are being in
stalled and the troops are using cactus
to decorate around the tents.
Mr.. Myers told of big banquet OF
members Of the Loyal Order of Moose
at FL Paso and one of the Odd Fellows
a few days later.
In speaking OF the situation between
the United States and Mexico the
guardsman says: II was at the inter-
national bridge, and they say there
was more scare when we took Vera
Cruz than there is now. / look for
this new Legalist party in Mexico to be
the redeemers of their country, and ]
think they are the ones to rule. There
are the governors of northern Mexico
and all are friendly to us. I believe
they will get control without any
trouble. and Wall Street is backing
this party. I believe they will accede
to our demands and we will withdraw
Pershing and the thing will be settled.
