_ The rodeo held in connection with
the stock show is of course the big-
gest amusement feature of the show
and attracts thousands of visitors.
While Reese is too modest .to say
anything about his own part in the
rodeo, friends who were there declare
he seemed to know everybody worth
knowing, and was one of the most
popular men at the show, his judging
being one of the big features. One
day recently his picture, with that of
some of the prominent officials of
the rodeo, appeared on the front page
of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram,
with a very complimentary nopce.
He has also been invited to act as
judge of a rodeo in Houston and one
in Miami, Florida, in May and June.
However, he announces that he will
be right here for the Maifest, taking
part in the Brenham rodeo sponsored
by Frank Wood and George Koy.
