No Sunday Show
will Be Given By
Wild West Outfit
Three Performances Will Be
Staged on Friday and Sat-
urday, April 14-15; Ad-
vance Guard Now Here.

Three performances will be given
by the Wild West Show being brought
to Maui under the auspices of the
Maui County Fair and Racing Asso-
citation, one on Friday night, April IA
and two on Saturday, April Is. The
plan to have a Sunday performance
was abandoned since Easter Sunday
falls on April IS.
VANGUARD Here
Jack Burroughs, head of the COM
pany, Grady Smith and Floyd Still
ings came over from Honolulu, Tues
day on the Kilauea and are stopping
at the Waikiki Hotel where they will
remain until after their show is pro-
duced here. Vera McGinnis, the stel-
lar women rider of the company will
be over on the Kilauea tomorrow.
Burroughs, Smith and Stillings brought
over the livestock of the show with
them and have it quartered in the
quarantine pens and sheds back of
the Fair Grounds, not in quarantine
but because those quarters were avail
able. Some very fine stock, is includ-
ed in the shipment, COW ponies to de-
llShJ lilC CON DOgo u, q IllCh L
some ornery beasts that will buck and
turn nasty without ~provocation and
some long horn Texas steers.
There are six performers in the
company which was the biggest draw
ing card of the kind ever seen in Ho-
nolulu when shown there at the time
of the Elk's carnival. In addition to
the show those performers put On it
is planned to have contests between
Maui riders for prizes and awards at
each performance just as in Honolulu
cavalrymen and cowboys from the
Islands were in competition. The
local performers will compete against
n another and not against the pro-
f~essionals of the company, Burroughs
says and he adds that he has learned
a considerable interest is being shown
up country.
Varied Program Planned
Fancy riding, handling of bronco
horses and riding of wild steers and
the sports of the our up are to be
included in the program. There will
be nc steer roping but it is proposed to
have some goat roping and Burroughs
says that if it is desired it will be put
on. There is not the danger of in
juring goats as there is in the throw
ing of a heavy steer and it is not con-
sidered that there is anything brutal
or inhumane in such an exhibition.
Along the Mexican border most of the
states have now forbidden steer rop-
ing contests but do not prohibit goat
roping. 1t requires real skill, often as
much as to rope and tie a steer, to
capture a goat. The latter is smaller
and at the same time is quick and
active while his lightness is such as
to make it very improbable that he
would sustain an injury. Burroughs
and his associates have had expert
ence in goat roping and Burroughs
says it is perfectly practicable to put
some on at Kahului.
Pleased With Grounds
The members OF the company now
here are spending most of their time
down at Kahului getting things in
shape for the exhibition they are to
stage. Yesterday Jack Burroughs was
in the New Office for a time and eX-
pressed his satisfaction with the
grounds. He said that the coming up
on such grounds in an Island out in
the Pacific was a surprise to him and
considers they compare well with
most of the mainland county fair
grounds he has seen. He said in ref
erence to local talent entering con
tests that he had already heard from
up country that numbers of the best
riders and COW boys of Maui are start
ing preparations to ride at one or
more of the performances.
