were given.
The show has been an unqualified
success and the horsemen from other
states are unreserved in their praise
of the local management and unani-
bnously vote the show here the equal
of any of the big shows OF the coun-
try. That the horse remains one of
the greatest drawing cards rs pub
lie entertainer has received another
emphatic confirmation by the mag
nificent success Of Tulsa's first essay
as a provider Of equine recreation.
1t is not necessary to qualify the sue
cess of this show by saying anything
about considering that IL was Tul-
sa's first show" for 1t has been far
ahead Of many of the older institu-
tions. The management provided the
attractions, the exhibitors brought
their horses and the crowds came
again and again.
Jumps Touring Car.
Yesterdays programs were both re
pletc with thrills. In the afternoon
an added number to the regular pro-
gram proved the feature when the
chestnut gelding, Sir Walter, whose
jumping here has been revelation,
was introduced in a novel stunt After
his rider Lee Ward, who halls from
Rock Island. H., had put him over
the high and broad jumps in the reg
ular manner, Il passenger au-

clearing the machine by wide mar
gin.
