THE BULL TANNING.
The bull tanning being next in:order large
bovine was turned loose in thesarena. Two
horseInsn then appeared upon { scene, one
carrying lariat across his arm. The bull
moved of at slow pace, followed by the
animal he hurled his Iariat, which settled
around the bulls horn, causing him TO run
al fun speed. Upon reaching the skeleton
fence the Dull gave quick turn ana lerlEed
loose from the hOTs6man who then dismOunt-
ed and recaptured the animal ana led
il back to tie judges stand He then
threw the bull by means Of the lariat, which
he ioOped around It's feet, legs and body. 10
fact, the Texas method Of tanning cattle and
Wild bulls by means Of a lariat was practical
ly and successfully illustrated, to the great
amusement Ofthe spectators, but few OF Whom
had ever witnessed such sport. The spOIt
ended by the ranchman throwing the bull 10
the ground and tieing him so tightly that he
could not mcve.
THE PRETTY MILKMAIDS.
The spectators were afforded the pleasure OF
seeing a milking contest between ladies, for a
handsome prize. The entries were as follows:
Miss Lettie Dowdy, Miss Lucy Feits, Miss Ella
BOudie, aged thirteen Miss Henrietta Bowen,
aged nine; Mrs Thomas j. Cogswell, Mrs. NJ
Miller. The milking was done near the north
end Of the msin stand, where nearly every
body gathered 20 witness this domestic act
The ladies showed that they were well skilled
in the art, for they drew out large quantity
OF the lacteai nutd in very short space of
time. The premium was awarded to Mrs. N.
THE TANDEM.
Messrs. Han & Co. exhibited good tandem
team, the animals being sOrrel ana white.
The driving was excellent, and the animals
exercise they had. We hope to see some at
tentton paid TO tandems on the course, aud
that they viii at least assume an important
feature in our future fairs and hOTse-shOws.
TROTTING TEAM.

heats, for a purse OF $50 there were only two
entries, viz: &. II. Bracket and II. Brothers.

taiued, although breaking at the lrst course.
Harry reached the ffrst pole nifty yards ahead
OF Prairie Dog, who broke ana jumped the
pole, thereby allowing his competitor
pole one hundred yards ahead Of
the Dog, who again and again broke. Harry /
also broke when near the third stake, bat l
being checked down, busted the pole forty y
yards in the lead. The Dog now let out, aud B
made fine dash down the home stretch, and I
closed up 70 within length of Harry's wheels. ]
Many thought the Dog would win, but the /
animal broke near the distance stand, and 4
Harry came in an easy winner. Time, 2:5l. /
Second He1t-HaTTy also captured this heat 4
and tn race. Time, 2:l2.
