Riders Best Burroughs Has
Met In Islands.
Riding such as Maui folk have not
seer before both by the members of
the Burroughs Wild West Show and
ny local men made up programs on
the Fair Grounds at Kahului that
weIe worth travelling miles to see
and some of those who saw and ap-
plauded had travelled miles to see it.
The shows were full of interest and
excitement and the only cause for re-
gret is that more did not see them.
MarveIously Fine Riders g
From the members of the company
much in the way of trick and fancy
riding was expected and the perform
ers all came UP to or excelled every
thing that had been said of them.
Especially was this so in the case of
Miss Vera McGinnis, the girl member.
This little slip of a girl looks too
frall to handle such animals as some
of those that she rode. Her trick
and fancy riding was a revelation as
she whirled about on the back and
IN the neck of her steed, chung to its
TANKS or leaped on and off the saddle
while the horse went at full rum. She
showed she could handle a bucking
bronco if occasion required and in her
races made it evident she would be
a great little jockey. Floyd Stillings
and Grady Smith are wonderful rid
ers and their exhibition were won
derful. "tN ~ 20 OIL 'TNaH H

Burroughs Praises Maui Men
Nowhere in the Islands, says Jack
Burroughs has he see such riders
as on Maui. In ten performances in
Honolulu there did not appear so
many as were in the Saturday night
performance at Kahului. None of the
riders at Honolulu came out with
only one hand on the surcingle of the
bucking steers, as did a number of
the Maui boys and in handling the
bucking horses the Maui boys have
all the best of comparisons, although
there were some good riders in Ho-
nolulu, especially among the cavalry
men. eff our coming here has stimu.
