They found that in addition to the thrills, the dangers, the skills involved, the rodeo could be made a beautiful spectacle, and. too, comedy could be injected in just the right measure to relieve the tension of danger-thrilled nerves.beeville came to town in a big way. The sister cow-town to the north furnished an opening night spectacle that left the audience waiting for next year's show. The dozen Beeville lady and gentleman riders who, in colorful costumes, did the quadrille to the music of J AI’s band would grace any big-time arena. jThe sponsors’ exhibitions of jhorsemanship in cutting, penning ] contests and in barrel races show- | ed that the ladies had a very def-1 inite place in the rodeo program, j especially when they held first and I second place in the cutting con- j tests open to both sex. Heard Heard of Refugio and j Beeville were second only to RockyReagan in the contribution to the 1 show. Long and Short Tom were in every grand entry, and their pick-up men turned in a job that won as much admiration from the horsemen as did the riding and roping of the professionals.The Heard boys pet act, “Hitler and Mussolini going thru Africa on a Brahma bull,” brought grief to one of the colored cow-boys whotook the Hitler role. James Sutton fell from his backward perch on the bull’s hump and received a broken leg when the brute trampled him. That was Thursday. and the next night the act went on with a colored puncher impersonating Stalin and sitting on the bulls hump.Charley Shults. clown, and hisdaughter, Norma, trick rider androper, lived up to their advance notices in great style. The kids knew Charley, with his trick Ford, his trained burro and mule, as a typical rodeo clown the minute they saw him. But before the show was over, they saw him do deeds of skill and daring aplenty and he was a hero as well as a clown.Another entertainer who won the applause of the crowd was an East Texas lad. Harry Gambrill, of San Gabriel. His act which showed a trained steer and a horse doing a circus act together would be a hit in any town, but down here where folks know cow-brutes, that stunt of making a steer “bulldog himself was a knock-out.Little Mark Meyers and his trained Shetland, in the Thursdaplace was won by the entry of John J.

Your show would have been a complete success anywhere in the good old U.S.A. There wasn’t a dull moment. We sat through the 2*2 hours without noticing the seats were hard.”Rocky left Saturday night. He 1 was ill, not able to ride in the grand entry that night. Word from his family says he's better. And Rocky’s new-found Kingsville friends are pulling for the speedy recovery of a grand guy.Tie-down roping contests engaged about the best 25 tie-downartists ever assembled in South Texas, including two girls, Mecca and Sue Savage of Alpine.
