MAMMOTH PREMIUM LIST.
Attracting Exhibitors Never Be-
fore Entering.
fhe preliminary catalogue, which
has been issued by tin- National Feed-
ers' and Breeders' Association lor the
1912 show to be held at Fort Worth,
March 1K-23, inclusive, coiit.'ilus about
l.lOO premiums valued at approximately
$30,000, and Ih one of the most credita-
ble classifications booklets ever pub-
lished by this association. II covers
practically all breeds of livestock com-
mon to the sou I It west, and also admits
mun\' foreign breeds. I'ri/.e.s are offer-
ed fur virtuallv all classes of breeding
Miid beef cattle, lions, sheep, horses
and mules, and valuable special pre-
miums are also offered by the various
horse, cattle and swine associations,
packing houses and individuals. This
enormous premium list Is attracting
exhibitors who have never before
shown stock at Fort Worth, and the
number of exhibits at the 1H12 show
will reach thi' eight thousand mark,
or an increase of two thousand over
last year. With the advent of the Fat
Htoek Show sixteen yours ago, south-
western stockmen realized that some-
thing must be done to improve their
(Stock, in order that they might more
successfully compete with their north-
ern neighbors, consequently thousands
of dollars were expended in importing
pure-bred bulls, stallions and boars,
which were scattered all over the
country; and with this new blood,
southwestern slock has been raised to
such a standard that it not only carries
off some of I lie best prizes III tile K<tl''
Worth l'\at Slock Show, but figures
prominently in the livestock exhibi-
tions throughout the country.
Such an Institution at the National
Feeders' and I'.rceders' Show, which
lias done and is still doing so much for
the country, should be given the moral
and financial support of not only tile
stockmen and farmers, bill of the en-
tire population of the southwest, for
the success of this exposition means a
larger prize list curb year, more build-
ings. increased facilities for exhibitors
and more and better amusements for
visitors. The faster this Institution
grows, the more rapidly will grow the
livestock industry in this section, so
Id everv man, woman ami child in the
southwest attend the 1012 show In
March, and by so doing, not only make
this event the most successful eviu
held but enjoy one solid week of pleas-
ure and education.
RAILROADS. HOTELS AND STREET
CAR SERVICE
All railroads leading Into Fort Worth
will put on unusually low rates during
the National Feeders' and Mreeders'
Show to be held at Fort Worth. March
1N-23, Inclusive; this rate to In- in ef-
fect not only from all points In Texas,
but from Interstate points as well This
Was agreed upon at a joint meeting of
the general freight and passcngei
agents, which was held In 'ialveston
Janaurv 10. Persons desiring to at
tend the Fat Stock Show this year, no
matter where they live, muv go to Fori
Worth at very nominal expense The
Fat Stock Show this year will tie held
on Ilomeseekers' Week, and the show
management has arranged with all the
roads putting on homeseekers' rales to
have all trains stopped at Fort Worth,
In order that the passengers may visit
the show before continuing to their
various destinations.
Since the 1011 Fat Stock Show, a
number of new first-class hotels have
been erected ill Fort Worth, and with
these others already open, the city is
now prepared to comfortably take care
of the Increased crowds which will
attend this year. There will be no In-
crease in rates at any of the hostllerles
and special preparation will be made
to accommodate the visitors. Street
ear service between the depots and the
show grounds will tie more efficient
than ever before, and, In fact, every-
thing possible will be done for the
convenience and accommodation of vis-
itors.
Fort Worth will entertain between
fifty thousand and one hundred thou-
sand visitors during the week, and nil
organizations in the city have com-
bined to entertain tlicm most royally.
AUTOMOBILE SHOW,
All Kind* of Horseless Vehicles to Bs
Much In Evidence.
The fact thai auto delivery wagonn,
vans and trucks are becoming more
popular throughout the Southwest
every year will be thoroughly demon-
strated at the big automobile show,
which will he held In connection with
the coming National Feeders' and
Breeders Show, at Fort Worth, March
1S-23, Inclusive. When the Fat Stock
Show was first started, sixteen years
ago. It was malrily of Interent to live-
• lock men, but each year the exposi-
tion has broadened Its scope until it
now includes a Fat Stock Show, Horse
Show, hand or Agricultural Show,
Poultry Show, Automobile Show, Mer-
chants' and Manufacturers' Exhibition,
and numerous novelty features, and a-!'
persons, regardless of their position
and occupation, will find something to
Interest them. The show management
is eternally on the lookout for some-
thing new In the way of amusement
and educational features; and, with
this in mind, it has arranged for th
1012 show the largest and most com-
plete exhibition of automobiles evo;'
before shown In the Southwest. Mod-
els of every two or four wheeled vehi-
cle run by electricity or gasoline, from
the motorcycle to the modern auto-
truck and Uro-wagon will be on dis-
play. The evolution of the "Horseless
Carriage" will lie the feature charac-
teristic. comparing the first small in-
ventions of this kind with the modern
touring cars, delivery-wagons and
moving-vans, which carry thousands
of pounds, and which have proven of
such value to the entire commercial,
world. No one now considers auto-
mobiles as luxuries, but as necessities,
so this department of the coming Fat
Stock Show should prove both Inter-
esting and beneficial to all patrons.

It Promises to Be the Most Unique
of the Features.
As tin leading and most unique fea-
ture of entertainment of the coming
National Feeders' anil Breeders' Show,
to be held at Fort Worth, March 1S-2.1,
the maimginicnt has arranged to put
on a "Bush Hall (Jame." Two exper-
ienced teams have been secured, and
the game promises to lie exciting and
interesting. I'ush Ball, or as it might
be termed font-ball on horse back, is
the newest and most exciting game In
the sporting world today. In many
respects it i* similar to the old tine
tournles. which were so popular In the
time of King George I., but, In the more
modern field of sports, It is different
from any other game. It is played by
eight men, four on a side, mounted on
active and well trained polo-ponies, the
object being to push a gigantic ball
through a goal at either end of the
field. The rules of the game are very
similar to those of foot ball with this
exception; tin ball must not be lifted
from the ground, but must be push, d
through th«' goal Instead of carried.
The victi ry of either team depends
almost entirely upon the activity of
tlie ponies, and when tin
Is made the animals. If they are Well
trained, stay close toft ether and try to
push the ball through the opponents'
line of defense. Then the pony near-

MUSICAL FEATURE.
Band of Thirty Pieces Will Render
Moit Popular Selection*.
While the primary object of the Na-
tional Feeders and Breeders Show i*
to encpurage the raising of better live
stock throughout Texas and the south-
west by showing specimens of th. best
anlmuls that exist In the country, tie-
management realizes the necessity for
entertainment and amusement fea-
tures. With this In mind and with a
view of providing high-class musi? for
the thousands of visitors at ihj l!)li
show, which will be held at Fort Worth
March 18 th to 23rd, inclusive, the
management has again engaged Prof
W. T. Cox. of Fort Worth, an 1 hi.*
excellent band of thirty pieces. To
those who have ever attended the Fat
Stock Show in the past. Prof. Cox-
needs no introduction, nevertheless I'
might be well to state that his band
Is one of the very finest musical ag-
gregations in the southwest. This
band fills more prominent engage-
ments than probably any other In this
section of the country. Prof. Cox has
Just written a march expressly for the
1812 show, which will be dedicated to
Manager J. A. Stafford, and which win
be one of the most beautiful select ions
rendered during the entire exposition
An appropriate musical program will
be rendered each day during the Judg-
ing of Fat Stock In the Opllseiim
Arena, and at the Horse Show one'j
night a concert, consisting of siiI.h,
classical selections and military pioei«,
intermingled with the latest popioei
airs will be given. These musiial
programs are within themselves wort.i
the price of admission, and should in-
sure a large attendance \it tyoth t! >
day and night shows.
