 ATTRACTS CROWDS
Twenty Colts Foregather to Try for Prizes in the
 SOuthside City

Mesa City was visited yesterday by about twenty of the young aristo- crats of horsedom. It was the colt show of the get of the Percheron stallion No. 57774. owned by c. P. Simmons. This magnificent animal weighs an even ton, 1.-the aud active in spite of his size and with a coat shining with the sheen of finest satin. The colts were beauties. There were three classes of exhibits. colts, year lings and two-Year- odds. First, second and third prizes were offered in each class. The first prize was s15, second S10 and third s. In the colt class prizes were distributed as follows: First. Bukey: second. Swift; third, Rusa. In the yearling class. first Brimhall; second. Bukey: third, Wallace. In the two year old, first, Bukey. No other entries. Sweepstakes, Bukey on colt.
 It certainly is gratifying to see the interest manifested in the grading up of horse stock in this vicinity. Ranchers have learned the extrava- gance of feeding scrubs and even now Mesa and the surrounding country show a far better than average lot of horses.

SENIOR CLASS ENTERTAINED

On Friday evening, the faculty of the training school entertained the senior class of the Normal. with folk dance held in the gymnasium. In addition to the hundred or more dancers present, there were many en- lockers from far and near. Following the dance real, redhot tamales were served with coffee and wafers.
 The dance was a costume affair and, like the dancers themselves, represented almost every nation.
 Inquiring why these graceful dances were not used more extens- lively instead of the present day so- cial affairs. the reporter was handed the following list of names. which constituted the program Friday even ing, and which afford a complete re- ply to the question. These are the dances: The French La Pastorellc the Tanteli. Boscastle. FryksdalspOls- ka. Bohemian. Gustaf's Skoal, Nor wegian Mountain dance and the old favorite English Ribbon dance, the Swiss Grandmothers. the Grief, the Clap. the Bleking. the dance of our own little girls, and Reaping the Flax Dance These are more beau tiful and graceful than their names and were greatly enjoyed by the number of guests and witnesses present.
