greatest of all bareback riders, and who
has been selected to head the congress
Of equestriennes that have been spe-

To be accorded this luxury and privi-

May Wirth has surpassed all other
equestriennes. Her wonderful forward

jumps from the ground to the back OF a
steed running at swiftest pace with her
feet tied In 18-inch baskets, and her
many other remarkable attachments as
a rider have gained her a place among
the elect. Miss Wirth is but 20 years
old. Being young, she loves the sun

Interfere greatly with a lawyers private

was n candidate for mayor against
Mayor Monteverde last August, but now

one has denounced the present admins
tration with more vigor. Which only
goes to prove that politics makes
strange bedfellows.
In at least nine out of every ten places
where the voters are being registered, |,
Is evident that the registrars appointed
by the election commission have been
