 THE CONTESTS.
 Jim Bacon was the first man to try his luck and the result 10 him was practically duplicated in each contest which followed His steer proved to be a splinter, and it was enc minute and ! 21 seconds before he had the brute down and tied.
 Worth Beglamy was the next on the programme. Bellamy had not missed a steer in six months, according to Jim Barn. his employer, but he met his match in the animal that was allotted to hir, and the conquest of his steer required 1 minute and seconds.
 Robert Hopper was the first to get in 1o1c credited with 531s seconds.
 w. A. Barkley, Wayne Davis and Fred Dugas were not in the time list. Barkley's steer was not well tied Davis could not catch his, and Dugas had the misfortune to break his rope.
 CaVenass made the next attempt and a very pretty throw, in 45 seconds. Ed Price finished his work in 1.1S15 and Emmet Hinson in 1.3I. Hinson c1uSht the gIandstand's favor by throwing his steer by the tail, when the animal arose while Hinson was tying him.

Logan Morris made the quick est throw of any of the contestants, having his victim down in less than 30 seconds, but he was slow in tying. His time was 1.O1.
 Hayden Justus, Clarence Jackson, George Sears Will Binnie, Roy Tomp- kinson and Arthur Heath met with bet ter steers than any with which they had recently come in contact The lat ter three chased their animals all over the field, but could not make satisfac- tory connections, and their respective times were not taken.
 Burt Jackscn's time was 1.1S. Joseph Bassett had a rather easy steer but missed his first throw. Jim Anderson had a particularly hard struggle. He threw his steer four times and on the last attempt his rope broke.
 Jim Gibson was d favOrite with the crowd and did good work, but his steer was too fast, and Gibson was 5S sec onds in completing his task. Jim Col lins was next in 1.7, and then Charles Davis started. He made a beautiful throw. but his steer became entangled with one already down, causing Davis to lose considerable time. Re made a very rapid tie and received the clan?or- ous applause of the spectators. William Goodwin and Oscar Roberts were the two last contestants, and although they made no good tune, their efforts produced two of the best contests of the day. Goodwin made a quick throw, but his steer arose and threw off the
