All ready for the Wild West Show
with the broncho horses, the bucking
steers, the fancy and trick riding and
the sports and fun of the Rodeo!
Preliminaries are all arranged and
three big shows are assured. There
are to be special trains run to and
from Kahului for the two evening
performances and transportation is
being arranged for from points that
are not on the Kahului railroad.
Hours for the holding of the three
shows and prices were decided at a
meeting held Saturday morning be-
tween Jack Burroughs and represen-
tatives of the Maui County Fair and
Racing Association under the aus
pices of which the big show is to be
put on. Low rates, especially for
children were fixed and admission

! 1880 in the evening, the Saturday
afternoon show will be at $3.50 and
the Saturday night performance at
o'clock. Admission including a seat
either in the grand stand or on the
opposite side from that stand will be
one dollar, admission and a seat in
one of the grand stand boxes has
I been placed at $3.50 and children will
be admitted for 25 cents. If they
occupy box seats the charge will be
| so cents extra, OF half the price of
an adult for sucr Accommodations.
! There are to be special features in
cludrd in the Saturday afternoon per-
formance that will be of interest to
children and make their eyes pop
wide open with wonder and excite
ment. II was at first proposed TO
make the 25 cents admission for
children for the afternoon perform
ance only but it was reconized that
some parents may want to take the
children with them in the evening
and would be unable to attend on Sat
urday afternoon.
Box seats were put on sale at the
Baldwin Bank Kahului, this morning
at 8 o'clock, and may be obtained

Local Riders Interested
From the various ranches come re-
ports that the best hands in their
outfits are practicing to enter the con-
tests that are to be staged One
ranch reports eight probable entrants,
another five and the others from two
to four so there is every likelihood of
more than 20 Maui horsemen. The
details for the match race between
horses ridden by Miss Lorna Won
Tempsky and Miss Vera McGinnis
are also being worked out.
In Honolulu during the Elks' Car
nival this company gave ten perform
. ances, each to a crowded house. One
Maui man, prominent in the cattle
? industry here was so pleased with it
that he attended five performances.
He is one of the strongest boosters
,, for the show here. and says he eX-
poets to see all three performances.
Bringing the Burroughs Wild West
! Show to Maui has been with the in
tent of giving Valley Isle folk some
: thing new in the way of amusement.
The Islands distance from the main
land make circuses such as art com
mon there an impossibility here and
the bringing from the mainland of
the long horned Texas steers and the
mounts of the performers was a cost
! ly undertaking, so costly as to be un-
usual. The show that is to be pre-
sented will be different from anything
ever offered on Maui.
r Man And Horse Matched
: The average man and women loves
+ a horse and loves the pluck and cour
+ age and determination a horse will
J. show to maintain his freedom from
S mans restraint. At the same time
: much as the spectator symapathizes
n with the dumb beast, he and she likes
/. to see man prove his mastery. Tn,
J. contests between horses and would
= be riders and full of thrill and excite
J. ment. To undertake the handling o
madly bucking horse or steer is NJ
child play, but is mans job tina
requires skill, courage and training
The contests that are to be stage,
by riders from the different ranche
c will introduce a spirit of local rivilr,
and home interest as well.
Miss McGinnis will give some eX
hibitions of fancy and trick ridin
that are startling. She is admitte
j. TO be one of the NOSE daring an
lie skillful women in the profession an,
ed she has won her reputation in man
Id towns in many states. Columns VI
% on columns of commendatory con
o. ment upon her courage and her con
ed fident handling OF herself and he
horses have been published. Her eN
of hibition will be well worth the jour
to ney to Kahului.
nd The pet of the outfit is Texas Tom
II my a high school horse almost humal
Ii in his intelligence and his perform
ID. ance will surely be enjoyed by tn
ty children especially.
IN There are to be variations OF tn
program at each performance.
