them" were ludicrous in the ex-
treme. The CLUSTERS" in this
event were Will Manus, Jim Bur-
Lesson, John Haywood, Tom
Privett, while each of the horses
had "pet" names, which a re-
ligious paper like The Press can
not publish. But they were
bronchos, right, and their riders
busters" and no mistake, prizes
being awarded by the Judges as
follows: Tom Privett, the notori-
Gus and popular "Booger Red,
first, 500; John Haywood, second
$40; Jim Burleson, third, 50.
Friday there was a prelude i'll
the shape of steer riding, Tom
Privett mounting the beefer, the
rider and mount facing in oppo-
site directions. Tom sat there
natural as life and wouldn't
have given up his seat for any
body-not even lady.
Then came another exhibition
of broncho busting which again
excited the risibilties of the vast
throng to the button busting"
point. When the contest was
over the awards were made to
John Haywood, first, 500; Arthur
Hall, second; Jim Burlesop,
third.
Friday most decided novelty
was introduced and it was listed
as a "cigar race" The confess
tants in this were to ride their
horses a distance of 300 yards,
stop, dismount, each pick up u
cigar and match lying on the
ground, light the weed" re-
mount and double back to the
starting point. There were
thirteen entries for this sport,
but, as in all contests, the number
of winners were limited, and in
this Joe Gardner "came through"
first, pocketing "a twenty" and
Theodore Dunman following a
close next.
Saturday, the roping was fol-
lowed by another exhibition in
wild steer riding, and this time
jim Haywood did the honors. The
steer bucked and beloved, but
Jim stayed with him till Mr..
Steer came to the conclusion that
sit was no USE" This event was
followed by another display OF
expert horsemanship on bronchos,
the artists being Arthur Hale
