ROUND-UP ASS'N
HELD MEETING
Plans Already Started for a
Bigger Show in 1917 With
Adams Manager. -
DATE SET FOR JULY
2, 3, AND 4,1917
Albany Will Bring Back Some
of Same People and Other
Big Attractions.
The Albany Round-Up Association
held a meeting last evening in the of
fices of Ed. Bailey, secretary, to fin
ish up the business of the late round
up. The report of the secretary show
ed a satisfactory balance in the treas-
ry. 1 here is a balance of about $1,500
in stock subscriptions which will be
left in the treasury to be used in im
proving the grounds for next year.
oills were audited and allowed.
Clarence Adams, who managed the
show to the entire satisfaction of the
directors, was reimbursed about $500
which he lost in staging the round-up.
Adams brought a $10,000 show to Al
bany this year, and it proved to be
much larger than he had figured on,
costing him more for board for cow
boys, feed and keep for horses and
cattle than he had planned. But the
cirectors were glad to make up the
difference.
Dates for the 1917 Round-Up were
set for July 2. 3 and 4. 1917. A verbal
agreement was made with Adams to
take charge of the show again, and he
promises to brine back practically ev
erything he had here this year with
a greater array of talent, horses and
cattle besides. Over J6.0C0 will be
given away at the 1917 show and it
will be one that will go down in his
tory as the biggest round-up ever
held in the west.
Thia year people smiled when they
were told that they would see a bet
ter Kound-Up in Albany than was
seen, at Pcmdletotj; But the trsMh wai
told and better time was made in the
r:.ccc, more events were staged and
a really better rornd-up was pulled
eff here than Fendliton is able to
boast of. All the cowbovc said as
much and oeople who saw both shows
agree with that fact. But the 1917
show will eclipse anything -else ever
attempted here. Albany people should
ruv postcards ot the round-uo am
nail them to their freinds in other
places. They are on sale at two dif-
lerent stores. 1 he moving pictures,
showing at the Globe tonight, arc
splendid advertisen.erts and -vill k
much to advertise the show, -
Among lmDrovcments contemplat
ed for next year are the erection of
stock sheds, the reconstruction of
the grand stand, and other improve
ments on the grounds. Work will be
started this fall and everything will b-;
ready for next year. .
