[ three prizes Harry Wright was award
 ed first monsy. Nina Sanders second, and John Moore third. Moore had | been touted as a winner, but soon af- ter his pony began operations. M1ore's foot slipped from the stirrup and lost him his chances. Knights exhibition was a pretty one. His broncho did stunts all over the track, in a deter mincd effort to hoist Knight skyward. But Knight was net to be hC.s.ed. The harder the horse bucked, the closer Knight held. Once the brute went u his knees. choked by the riders grip. The audience held it's breath, and t seemed inevitable that KntShs woull go under the animal, but by a tremen- dous effort the broncho arose, a sadder and a wiser brute, while a cheer went up for the nerve of Knight.
 Several side incidents served to en- ter,ain the spectators. The ever pres ent small boy was there, and so was his dog. Each caused the officials plenty of trouble and fun. Occasion ally a youth would slip out into the open and endanger his life among the horses until Q cowboy would slip his rope over the lad and drag him to a place of safety. A stray cur would wander Into the open and provide sport for the merry Vaqueros, lodging tSe whirrinG lariat and leading the cow punchers on a wild chase
 THE RACES.
 The races were both close enough to satisfy the most exacting lover of the fast sprinters. In the three-eighth mile dash, there were four entries. and the race brought forth a winner from rather unexpected source, in Black Kid, an animal Of unpromising appear ance, but excellent finishing powers, owned by Charles Williams. Windy Jim, owned by Jack Gibson, was sec Ond; and CarmeIita. owned bv Al Good 1 win, was third. and Nellie Daily, owned by Wolf Sachs, of Tempe. fourth. At the breakaway Jim and Carmelisa had | a little the best of the flag and Jim led | into the stretch. The Goodwin mare | closed the gap, but with Goodwin up. ! at ljO pounds, she could not hold the | pace. At the head of the stretch the | Kid was over a length to the bad. but | slowly he gained. and Q hundred yards | from horne. he was at the girth of the | Gibson horse. Fifty yards further he | was on even terms. Carmelita Was | betaen off and the Kid and Jim fought | it out. With whip and spur the Gibson | boy labored to keep his mount in front | but in vain, and the two passed under ! the wire. the Kid a half neck to the | good. CaImelita was over a length i back and the Tempe horse more hope | lessly out of it.
 In the quarter-mile dash, Bald Hor- net, owned by Jack Russell; Little Du- | chess, by C. E. Williams, and Nellie | Walker. by T. J. Walker, were the | starters. The sorrel Williams mare | was played as favorte, and a consid- ! erable amount of coin changed hanGs | upon the result. Hornet and the Du- chess held together for a while In | the stretch the sorrel opened up gap i and held 1t, romping in with two | lengths to spare. The Walker mare 1 was belated at the start and never got | Up, trailing in five lengths back.
