The famed “Riders of the Andes,” elite cavalry troop of the Army of
Chile, will be featured at the Grand National Livestock Exposition,
Horse Show and Rodeo to be held in the San Francisco Cow Palace October
28 to November 6. Termed the world’s most spectacular group of horsemen,
the 32 riders and horses will come to the Cow Palace as the result of
two years of negotiations and a special decree of the Chilean Congress.
The National Hereford Show and Sale and the Pacific Coast Aberdeen-Angus
Association Show and Sale are part of the livestock exposition, one of
the nation’s “big six” shows.
New classes have been added to the national full-division horse show.
Top-ranking contestants of the United States and Canada will ride in the
championship rodeo.
Regular performances will be held each of the ten evenings, starting at
8 o’clock, with matinees on the Saturdays and Sundays of October 29 and
30 and November 5 and 6, starting at 2 o’clock. Prices will range from
$1.25 to $3.50.
An added performance this year will be a children’s matinee Friday,
November 4, with a universal admission price of 50 cents.
