SECOND DAYS EVENTS
Good Records Were Made at Eastlake
Park Yesterday.

Yesterdays events in the cowboy
tournament at East Lake park were
even more interesting than those of
the day before. There was a very
large attendance and everything went
off in first class shape. The records
made by the steer tyers were far ahead
of those of Saturday but the steers got
considerably the worst of the bargain.
OF the nine that We're tied. three suf-
fered broken legs.
Winnie Rosenberger got his steer by
one front foot but was successful in
tying him in 5412 seconds When his
steer was turned loose after being tied
he made a run at the grand stand that
was more effective in moving the
numerous small boys from the foot of
it than a half dozen men. Walter
Harrington made a pretty throw and
stood a fine chance of first money but
his steer got up on him and he lost
considerable time. He finished his
work in 1 minute and 81 seconds.
Chris Cline came near getting a hard
fall but threw his steer quick. The
animal, however, got up on him before
he completed the tie and he was oblig-
ed to tail him down. This he did and
made a record of 1919. Ben Hughs
got a hard tumble but was not hurt
and went after it again. 1t took him
minutes and seconds to finish the
task. Ben Robbins, the last tier,
scarcely more than a boy had the hard
luck of the day, at the same time,
however, he furnished more amuse-
ment for the grand stand than any of
the other contestants. His horse be-
gan to buck before ne. got his rope on
the steer, and he missed the first
throw. He finally downed the bovine
directly in front of the grand stand
and after somewhat of a tussle with
him got him tied in 1 minute and 81
seconds.
The records made by the men in the
order OF their time was as follows:
Bill Anderson, 80 seconds; Walter
Cline, 4214; Winnie Rosenberger, SAY;
Bud Burris, 81; Chris Cline, 1:S11k;
Walter Harrington, 1:511k; Ben Rob
bins, 1:55A; Ben Hughs. 2:07; Abe
Collins, no time. The judges were
Sheriff Cook and John Munds.
The second event was a race be-
tween L. NJ. Hoghe and Harry Fried
man, the wager being a turkey against
a pair of spectacle. The race was
twice around the grounds and on the
second lap, F'riedman's horse bolted
and Hoghe carried off the honors.
The bronco riding followed and the
broncos this time were the genuine
article, no mules. In this Harry Bur
mister, Albert Steel, Winnie Rosen-
berger. Geo. FELTON, and Kid Binkley
took part. Rosenberger rode a horse
that has been given up by four riders
as a bad proposition but he rode him
to a stand still and took first money.
BinlSley took second. 81
flrfRyO threw q " 70
again and did equally as well as the
day before.
The creased pig race was the funny
part of the programme. Three of them
were captured separately by three diff
ferent boys they being the fortunate
ones of a large number who took part
in the race. The balance of the boys
got dirty clothes with a plentiful mix
ture Of lard and the successful con-
testants got $3.50 each.
For the satisfaction of the grand
stand one mule was turned loose and
caught and ridden by Albert Steel. He
proved failure and refused to buck
Today's programme will be the most
interesting of the tournament. 1t will
have several novel events, one of them
being an amateur lassoing match be-
tween Mr.. Lenane of New York, w. p
Richardson and Phil Wharton. Each |
of these three have never tied steer
in their lives and it will be done on a
wager of $50 a side In addition to a
purse of that amount offered by Mr.
Gibson to the winner.
John Munos, a Mexican, will ride |
the horse that was ridden yesterday
by Winnie Rosenberger. He will ride
him without a saddle using only
rope, spurs and a quirt. Aside from
these events there will be the usual
amount of steer tying and bronco rid
ing, also flag picking
