The Cowboy Won.

An immense degree OF excitement
was caused the other day At tho perform
nnce of the Wild West show In Liverpool,
on tho Introduction of South American
horse which belongs to w. +. Nelson Of
Oak Hill Park. The animal is SO savage
that he has deiied the attempts of the
most experienced horse breakers either to
ride or to cure him OF his viciousness. Mr..
Nelson offered the animal TO Colonel Cody
buffalo BID as u gift on the condition
that any of his staii would be able to tame
him, otherwise he would be obliged to
have 1t destroyed. The horse was accord
ingly led into the arena between two
heavy cart horses, and as soon as the ami
mails on either side OF II were removed, 1t
darted of at u great speed. Tho cowboys,
under the direction OF Colonel Cody, were,
OF course, prepared for this, and were all
furnished with lassos. As soon Us tue
horse started they were swung,.and pres
emily n moose was over the neck Of the
refractory brute.
The moment the animal felt the rope
around It's neck 1t began TO kick, and 1t
took eight cowboys to bring 1t to stand
still, and then the attempt to bride and
saddle it was made. This, Of course, was
attended with an immense amount OF
danger, but the skill Of the cowboys tri-
umphed, and they were successfully at.
iusted. Then Harry Stanton, one OF the
cowboys, was selected for the task OF
mounting the brute. lie stealthily crept
round the horse, and watching his oppor.
tunity, leaped gracefully into the saddle.
The audience, which numbered fully H.
600 people, was wrought TO a pitch OF in.
tense exitement as the horse made the
most frantic efforts TO throw his rider.
Stanton, however, was too much for the
animal, and he not only kept his seat, but
compelled the hitherto unconqucrcd beast
TO carry him twice around the arena; and
this TO the intense delight OF the audience,
which manifested its pleasure by loud ap,
plause and cheered tho cowboy to the
echo.
