HAD ALL KINDS OF FUN
Good Days Sport at the West
Side Coursing Park.
A REAL MONTANA DANCE
The Sim on-Pure Article in Broncho
Busting-De Malchin Won the
Sword Contest-Results OF
the Coursing.

A real good big, happy crowd saw all
kinds of fun at West Side park yester-
day. The broncho busting was the
simon pure article, the melee of six
mounted swordsmen produced roars of
laughter, the sword contest between
De Malchin and Welsh closely resem-
bled real warfare and Mr.. MacDoug-
alrs jack rabbit pets had their best
running clothes on.
OF the extra events, the first was the
broncho riding. James Ryan, who was
at Manila with Dewey, and who can
ride bit, If he is sailor, rode the
first horse. The broncho was roped and
thrown and allowed to get up with
Ryan in the saddle. Ryan never
caught his off stirrup and was accused
of trying to pull the horn off, but he
stuck to the pony like a leech, while
the pony did a real Montana dance
When they got back a young man
named ker mounted the same horse
and rode him without hunting leath-
err or stirrups either for that matter,
but of course the pony had got rid of
certain amount of buck with Ryan.
Stanley Fraser then rode a small mare
that put her head between her knees
and bumped herself in great style, but
Stanley stayed with her with apparent
ease. There are two fresh ponies for
tomorrow and one of them is 'lolli-
paloosa."
In the melee it took only a few min
utes to knock the top knots off Welsh's
two men and he had three against him.
His horse took that opportunity to bolt
and before Welsh could get him under
control, De Malchin very neatly decapi-
tated him, figuratively speaking.
The sword contest was fine. 1t would
appear to an outsider that there was no
necessity for quite so much power in
Welsh's blows; he slashed at De NAL
chin as if he were mending boilers, and
made his currass look like the remains
of a railroad wreck. The third or
fourth attack De Malchin broke about
a foot off the end of his sword, but
fought 1T out with the stump and won
by a score Of 16 to 10. Both are fine
swordsmen, De Malchin perhaps the
most skillful. and both are fine horse
men. Welsh received wound on his left
hand and got a little angry. He says
he will murder De Malchin to-day, but
the latter grinned and told him to do
his worst.
The coursing was great sport. There
We're II regular courses and three no
goes, an undecided between Swift and
Net and twice bad slips made another
trial necessary, but only five jacks
We're killed.
The results We're as follows:
F1tz Regina peat sapphire, flylng
Dutchman beat Keno, Ruby beat Pleas
anton, Lady Fullerton beat Driver,
Lord Nelson beat Montana Eclipse.
Barrister beat Blackbird. Smut, a bye:
Belle of Butte absent, Jessie H. beat
Yantara. Lear King beat Random

The braces for the second round to-
day will be: FitZ Regina against Fly
ing Dutchman, Ruby against Lady
Fullerton, Lord Nelson against Barris-
ter Smut against Jessie H., Lear King

In addition to this there are two more
bronchos to be settled with; the melee
will be repeated and De Malchin and
Welsh will fight the second bout of %
attacks on horseback.
