Southwestern Cattlemen to
Cather in Convention at Ft.
Worth March 13. 14 and
15—Special Rates.
The 1 wenty-first consecutive
exhibition of the National
Feeders and Breeders Show,
which will be staged in Fort
Worth from March 10 to 17,
inclusive, promises to eclipse
any past performance. In addi
tion to the large number of en-
tries in the different livestock
divisions from Northern states,
the Texas, Oklahoma and Louis-
iana breeder has shown an un-
usual interest and has booked
heavier than at any past show.
Coming hand in hand with
the great livestock exhibit is !
the Round-Up or wild west
show. This feature of the ex-
position'is not merely a bron-
cho busting show, but it is a
real wild west performance
with the bars let down and con-
tests open to any and all who
may be able to qualify. There
will be few of the old circus
stunts, because every rider
must draw for his mount.
There will be no designation of
horse or steer, but each fellow
must take his chances and de-
pend upon his skill to stick
where he is put.
An unusual effort is being
made to stage the most gigan-
tic round-up possible. due to
the fact that on March 13. 14
and 15, the cattlemen of the
Southwest will gather in Fort
Worth for the annual conven-
tion of the Cattle Raisers' As-
sociation of Texas. It is the
purpose of the show manage-
ment to give the cattlemen an
entertainment absolutely to
their taste and no amount of
money will be spared to do this.
Horses that can buck and steers
that know how to snap the best
hemp ever hurled at a pair of
horns have he en procured as
star performers. Every Tex-
an or Oklahoman who has an
idea in his head that he can
ride will be given an opportun-i
Hy to prove his ability during
the six days’ contest.
Special days have been des-
ignated to prominent Texas
and Oklahoma cities, as well as
to clubs and civic and fraternal
organizations. Wednesday,
March 1 1, will he known as Au- I
tomolile Day. Of course, dif-
ferent West Texas citie. have I
b ' n honored on this day, but
S big feature will be the show I
ing of automobiles upon that ||
day. Prizes are to be award-/
ed to exhibitors at that time.
The Cry following. Thursday,
will be Woodmen of the World |
Day. At this time degree and |
uniformed teams from different |
lodges will contest. Prizes have
been hung for this competition
and a number of teams from |
over the state have signified >
their intention of participating!
in the contest. R. H. McDill,
of Dallas, and Fort Worth
Woodmen are taking care of
this feature. It is understood'
That $50 in gold will be award-
ed the best drilled team. i
Monday, March 12, has been
designated a- Ps Day, News-
Loys’ lay. Elks Day, Young
Men’s Business League Dayi
and North Texas Day. om this
day the different student teams
will judge livestock and that
night will be the initial per-i
formance of the big Round-I p.
Tuesday has been designated as I
Fort Worth Day. A branding |
iron will be worn by all loyal |
citizens, which iron will be good |
for general admission at either |
day or night performance. I
