Not the least of the attractions
was the parade held each day at
p. m. Most interesting feature
of the parade was the entry OF
Mrs. J. W. Chapman and Mrs. w
B. Nutting, prominent pioneers OF
Red Lodge, who rode in an old
fashioned blackboard and dressed
in keeping with the old west. The
parade was more novel than ever
held before and was also the
longest on record.
Both Mrs. Chapman and Mrs
Nutting have long been prominent
in Red Lodge business and social
life. Both came to Montana in
1881 and the husbands of both
were active in banking circles here.
Mr.. Chapman was associated with
the Meyer and Chapman State
Bank and Mr.. Nutting was with
the Red Lodge State bank. Mrs.
Chapman came to Montana from
Oregon and Mrs. Nutting came to
the state in a covered wagon from
Texas.
Hundreds of visitors found spe-
cial interest in the old time stage
coach, which was furnished by the
MacKay ranch of near Roscoe.
There are very few of these old
coaches left, and the wagon was
by many interested in
the lore of the Old West.
Large crowds witnessed a splen-
did exhibition of fireworks on the
night of July 4th. A blaze of
aerial bombs, bursting shells,
zooming rockets and blazing set
pieces illuminated the skies in the
which was presented free
by the Shell Oil Company. Cars
from hundreds of points in this
section parked early on both the
east and west benches to take in
the event and they didn't go away
The entertainment
lasted fully a half-hour and was
easily the best pyrotechnic display
ever held here. Harley Weydt,
Shell Oil Company dealer here,
secured the exhibition as a con-
tribution to the rodeo.
Those who came to see Alice
Greenough, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ben Greenough of Red Lodge,
were pleased with her exhibition
Of bronc riding. Alice, now movie
actress as well as cowgirl, de-
her world champion
ship qualities in no uncertain
manner and her efforts won, a !
steady round of applause.
Bill Greenough h, too, came
through in fine shape. He not |
'nly gave pleasing exhibitions of
,ulldogging, but also distinguished |
himself in bronc riding, taking
irst on the Third of July and plac- !
ng second on the final day. His
fforts resulted in being chosen
eat all-around cowboy and being
resented with chaps given by the
;onnelly Bros. Saddelry of Bill
ings. Dave Shipp, who placed
ach day in bronc riding, was ad-
udged best all-around bronct
ider and was given a silver and
old mounted buckle. |;
