of the Seventieth anniversary of

The director of the pageant was

on their spirited steeds.
The various parts of. this scene
were dramatized by people who now
live on ranches in Comanche county
and was under the direction of
Gaston Boynton. Following this
scene was an old time square dance
led by Elmo Montgomery and parti-
cipated in by a group of young
married people of the town.
lThe ceremonies in which Jeffie of
The House of Thomas was crowned
aueen of the Harvest were most
beautiful and .exquisitely elaborate.
The coronation ceremonies began
with the appearance of the Princess
of the Harvest, their escorts, and
little attendants who were dressed
to represent the princess she at-
tended and little pages were
dressed in black dress suite. James

RODEO
The rodeo entertainment was one
of .the most popular events upon the
fair program. This wag under the
direction of Challie Gray and Gaston
Boykin. Some of the mennest
homes in the country were ridden,
both with the saddle and surcingle.
The fancy horseback riding by Mr.
Boynkin was worth the price of ad-
mission to the fair, in fact it was
equal if not superior to that shown
at the big stock shows and circuses
and where fancy pricegare paid for
the privilege of seeing. -

To rone the goat required a great
deal of skill, of course but was con-
sidered. rather tame by those men
who are used to roping wild horses
and cottle, Ite entertainment fea-
ture. however, was very good.
Challie Gray and Gaston Boykin
were considered the best ropers in
this class of contests.
LAST NIGHT
The last night of the fair in spite
of all predictions to the contrary
was one of the very best both from
the standpoint,* of attendance and
good program. There was a fine
moving picture show of an educa-
tional nature that Awas thoroughly
enjoyed by all . One of the most
talked of numbers on the fair pro-
gram was the hog calling contest.
Some of the veterans of pig style
fame took stage fright at the last
minute and did not enter according
