Horsemanship.

Arizona vaqueros for feats of horseman
ship rank second to nothing in the
whole world. Arabian horsemen or Fore
paugh's riders might learn of the Arizo-
no COW puncher.
While partyamong whom were Walt
er Vail and W. S...Sturgis, was discussing
the coming races at Christensen's,corral
Sunday evening, the merits of various
riders came up and Mr.. Sturgis made the
declaration that he had driven in a
horse that no man could ride. Mr.. Vail
offered to wager that one Of his va
queros was able 10 ride Mr.. Sturgis
animal, or any other.
The horse and vaquero we're soon on
Military Plaza, and some lively fun was
anticipated by the spectators, not I'M
alleged with fears Of the result, as tie
appearance of the animal in whole justi-
fed his reputation. He was a bad look
ing brute, with short ears, and eyes
wide apart and high up. The vaquero,
a wirey built, strong and rather short
young fellow, named Luke Collins, with
a pear of heavy spurs iingling on his
heels, looked the equal of his antago-
mist.
The horse objected to everything. 70
being rode he had always empatically
declared his uisinclnatian, and on this
occasion his emphasis was most pro-
nounced. Notwithstanding, a saddle
was soon on his back and cinched up.
Then the contest began. Stepping up
to the animal Collins gave the animal a
slap on the side at the same time giving
the girt another pull. Another second
and his left hand was on the neck OF the
brute, his right hand was on the horn of
the saddle, and one foot in the stirrup.
The horse was now wild. He snorted
and jumped straight up into the air,
lighting on all four feet at once. Collins
went up with him and as the horse
came he cleverly and easily threw his
right leg over the saddle and into the
stirup. Then he was safe. All the
bucking and snorting and jumping the
animal could do was useless. His rider
chung as though he was glued on and
so long as the animal would stand up, SO
long Collins could cling. The horse at
last gave up the contest-beaten. Spurs
were then put to him by the rider "to
get all the buck out of him" and very
soon the possibility of riding Mr.. Stur-
gle horse was fully demonstrated,
and the four bottles of wine at stake
we've paid over.
