to exceed the wildest dreams of
Buffalo Bill Cody.
In order to make certain that
there will not be a dull moment dur
ing the entire show, the committee
is arranging for a new feature to be
staged between the rodeo and pag
eant, a stylish shorse show. The new
feature will consist of a three-gait-
ed saddle horse class, a ladies jump
ing class, a cadet’s jumping class
and a review of some of the prize
winning animals of the Animal Hus
bandry Department.
Another new feature of special
interest to the sportsmen at A. and
M. will be the mounted wrestling
contests to be entered by the caval
ry and the artillery. Good cow milk
ers are urged to enter the milking
contests. Entrants need not worry—
Houston Smith has promised not to
enter any steers in this contest.
To add to the humor and fun of
the occasion, two expert clowns will
be on hand to relieve the tension
which the wild contests is expected
to cause. (“Odd” Lacy need not ap
ply for one of these places.)
The Pageant will lend dignity and
splendor to the occasion. Mrs. J. P.
Wheeler is sponsor of this portion
of the evening’s entertainment and
plans for something original and
different in the way of a pageant
are being made. “Red” Pearson is
expected to add the needed pep and
enthusiasm to the spectacle.
Those who object to looking at the
cream of beauty of the state are
requested to leave immediately after
the rodeo. The most handsome cadets
of the corps will be chosen as es
corts and the fair maidens will come
from everywhere.
Adding to the splendor of the en
tire affair will be the unusual light
ing effects which are being planned.
Particularly, will be lighting effects

of the king and queen. ,,
