off on this day. The stage was driven
around the track once and then J., lot
of bandits rode in and relieved the oc.
cupants of their valuablesGf they had
any then lot of good cowboys who
wouldn't steal at all if they got the
chance, rode after the bandits and
took the money away from them and
killed the bad men. Then the good
Govt boys rode away 1t looked as
though they had forgotten something,
but maybe there was nothing to for
get-they didn't return the valuables
to the people in the stage.
The second day program was
somewhat better as far as the racing
was concerned. 1t opened with 2:40
trot in which the three horses running
in the 2;40 the day before, ran again.
Lady Dewey took the purse. winning
three heats out of four. Bell Thorn
was second, and X Bell took third
money,
Seventh eighth mile running, John
Richardson Eggshell won by nose
from Varsalo Gradon, third. Time,
1:3212.
Cowboys race, Il mile, won by
Rich Thompson, with j. H. Chees
man, second, and Charles Upton,
third. Time, 1:O1 3 5.
Five eighth mile running, won by
Rabbi, Sleepy John, second and Frank
Kuhry, third. Time. LOG.
One fourth mile race for COW ponies
under 14:2 Won by XYZ, belonging
to Charles Lumley; Bess, second, and
Ribbon, third. Time :26.
The event of the day was the last
race, a mile running. Los Angelina
got bad start but caught up at the
half and got slight lead when they
ell tered the home stretch. Red Dam
sci began to pick this up, however,
and as they passed under the wire Los
Angelina was only nose length to
the good. Red Damsel took second
and Red Cord got third by almost as
close a margin. 1t was one of the
prettiest and fastest races ever run on
this track. Time, 40.
On this day as on the preceding
one, the cowboys who are attending
the fair proved themselves as good
natured and obliging as ever. They
willingly got up all sorts of little per-
formances to keep the crowd amused
and their easy recovery to good hu-
NOR when anything happened to go
wrong, was relief from the irritated
movements of some of the other horse
men On Thursday the boys got up
what they called hat race. Hats
were laid ON the track and the men
rode up at full speed and endeavored
to pick up the hats from the ground.
1t was an amusing little piece of
work and kept the crowd in a roar
while it lasted.
On Wednesday the boys got up an
equally amusing feature which they
called band box race. Each man
had band box placed on line on
the track. The contestant rode up
and opened his band box and then put
on whatever article of clothing he
found in the box. These were always
articles of women's wear. Rich
Thompson drew a corset. which he got
on in some twisted manner. Harry
Brennan drew an unrecognizable arti-
Gle, which he wrapped about his neck
MS a scarf although its shape denoted
some other use, and Aubrey Moore
drew shirt waist which came to
pieces when he put it on. At any
rate. each then lit a cigarette. re-
mounted his horse and rode back to
starting point, and the first one back
won the race. Rich Thompson won
and was rewarded with bouquet of
flowers.
On both days Harry Brennan gave
an exhibition of Iope throwing etc.
that was a revelation to many even OF
the old timers in this country. De.
cidedly the cowboys we're great part
of the show, and much credit is due
them for great part of the amuse
ment furnished at the track.
The Mexican and his wild steel
proved rather frost. Miguel What's
hisname took so long to make up hi
mind to slide on the steer that Aubrey
Moore, one of the COW punchers, grew
inpatient and rode the steer hi mself
The Mexican said it WASH fair, anG
he may be given another chance Sat
urday.
