OLD AND YOUNG
ENJOY Big WILD
WEST PERFORMANCE

Miller's 101 Ranch wild west and
far east show. replete with scenes of
the America that is no more, full of
shooting. dashing horseback riding
and gay colors, gave two perform
ances in Waterville yesterday, royal
ly entertaining two large crowds in
its big. canvas walled arena on Pray
field. 1t was the first time in a num-
be" of years thatSa wild west show
has stopped eff in the city and be-
cause of this the interest in it was
all the greater a
Many were up with the chill gray
dawn to witness the unloading of the
double length cars at the Maine
Central freight house. The process
was we'll under way shortly after 4
o'clock and there was plenty of &C
ton until breakfast time.
The parade, Largest in the world"
left the grounds shortly before IL o.
clock and the long route of the
nlarchers was lined four deep with
SPECTATORS. The parade met the
highest expectations and everywhere
could be heard words of commenda-
ton. 1t was one of the most color
full professions ever to march the
streets of Waterville. something to
brighten the most jaded of spirits.
A squadron of state highway police
led the parade, followed by the Mil
Ter brothers. Red blooded Indians
and cowboys passed by in alternate
groups, all mounted on beautiful
horses and the famous Cossack rid
ers were also present. Still others
who were mounted were the cow
girls and they received their full
share of attention. On the gaily
painted trucks travelled the many
bands; cowboy, negro, Scotch and
Arabian, all able to play the most
pleasing music. The groups of per-
formers also were on top OF the
rumbling wagons and they formed
colorful part of the parade. 1t was
friendly affair, the circus folk smil-
ing and greeting the spectators ana
the spectators being eager to return
the greetings.
The afternoon performance was
delightful affair in that there was no
big ton to conceal one of the most
beautiful skies that the summer has
thus far had. The stiff breeze that
blew during the afternoon kept the
crowd which more than half filled
the huge tent cool and in a mood for
enjoyment.
Horses and riders predominated
the show and such skill and beauty
has seldom if ever been seen here.
The opening spectacle, entitled Ara
bia," was thrilling ensemble of all
the show people, many of them car
rying flags and the scene was one OF
particular beauty, beneath the deep
blue canopy of the sky.
The eastern part of the show came
first and although brief, was OF
great interest. The Russian Cos
sacks gave the spectators the thrill
of their lifetime and they dashed
around the arena, clinging to their
steeds in all, conceivable manners. A
tumbling act of Arabs was highly en-
tertaining and during it one of the
members held the other eight aloft
in the air, for which feat he won
vociferous applause. A squad OF
Zouaves showed the utmost skill In
their intricate manoeuvers and their
wall scaling came as a woderfull CHI
max to the colorful act. The ele-
plants, while they were few in num-
her, were well trained and the act
demonstrated the ability Of the mon

Animal life. 1t appears, is to be
found on high mountains far beyond
plant growth. The highest growing
plant that the Mount Everest expe-
dition of 1924 observed was the blue
vetch, at $4,000 feet but animals
live at as great height as $4,000
feet. "a minute and inconspicuous
black spider" says a member of the
expedition, hops about on rocky
cliffs and hides beneath stones in
those bare places that happen to be
swept clear of snow by the wind. I
cannot think on what it lives at such
a height. In these attitudes there is
no other living thing-nothing but
rock and ice" This little spider is
worthy of note as being the highest
permanent inhabitant of the earth.
