STAMFORD, July 3.—When the curtain was pulled down
tonight for the ninth and final rodeo performance of the
eighth annual Texas Cowboy Reunion, an estimated crowd of
80,000 people had rushed through the turnstiles, far surpassing
the record mark of 65,000 in 1936.
The Friday night performance drew the year’s biggest crowd
when every inch of the seating capacity of 11,000 and most of
the standing room around the arena taken up. This followed

HONOLULU, July 3.—The navy tonight reinforced the fal-
tering hunt for Ameli Earhart with the powerful aircraft
carrier Lexington and 54 fighting planes in the face of dis-
couraging prospects.
The Lexington was ordered to fuel and be ready to leave
San Diego tomorrow for a 4,400-mile run to Howland Island
and take up the quest.
During a day of slowly ebbing hope, a long range navy plane
left Honolulu for a 1,500-mile dash to the scene but got caught

Comparative calm enveloped Abi-
lene on eve of July 4.
No official celebration of Inde-
pendence Day was on the card, and
most Abilenians planned a restful
two-day observance of the holiday.
There were indications that Mon-
day would be a repetition of Sun-
day. Most of the city’s business
houses were to remain closed, in-
cluding all members of the Retail
i Merchants association.
OFFICIALS TAKE HOLIDAY
City and county officials like-
wise were to make it a holiday, i
leaving only law enforcement agen-
cies and the fire department on the
job. Trials set for Monday were to
be held on schedule, however, in
104 th district court.
One city delivery is planned Mon-
day by the post office, but its win-
dows will- be open only an hour—
between 8 and 9 o’clock in the
morning
For those who seek entertainment,
trips afield are in order today and
tomorrow Picnics and other outings
will provide more restful holidays
for others.
Expositions at Fort Worth—the
Frontier Fiesta—and at Dallas—the
Pan-American exposition— promised
to draw many celebrants freed from
duties in offices or stores.
MIDNIGHT MATINEE
Abilene’s only July 4 event be-
sides a Saturday midnight matinee
at one of its theaters is a German
dance at the Taylor county vet-
erans clubhouse. It will begin at a
minute after midnight Sunday.
Lakes surrounding the city al- ,
ready had attracted their full quota
of fishermen last night and others
were to rise with the dawn, carry-
ing poles or rods and hip boots
Also expected to be popular as a

“Several men will make short talks,
after a 30-minute concert by the
Abilene high school band."
BAND CONCERT AT 8
The band concert will begin at 8
o clock, and talks will begin at 8:30,
Eplen said.
As another part of the campaign
Roy Kendrick, Callahan county
ranchman, will discuss the road
bond issue in a 15-minute radio
program over KRBC from 6 30 to
6:45 p m. Tuesday. He will also
speak at the rally.
Issuance of the bonds was urged
by Eplen in a broadcast over KRBC
Saturday night. Details of the plan
of the bond issuance were given in
the address.
He declared that since it was
impossible to buy right-of-way
with Callahan county funds, It is
to the best advantage of Abilene
business men to vote bonds here to
buy right-of-way from highway 36
