The coming event of Roosevelt's Rough Riders, which will be held in Oklahoma City, July 1-4, is attracting attention from the press and public throughout the entire country. Oklahoma City is preparing to outdo herself in entertaining the gallant regiment, its distinguished leader, and the many thousands of visitors who will flock to the city during the four days. Morning, afternoon and evening of each day there will be free entertainments of a widely diversified character under the auspices of the reunion association, and Oklahoma City guarantees every visitor his money's worth with interest every day of the reunion.
