sTRATGHTAwAY RoPING CON-
TEST.
This was regular scramble, n steer
being released and a whole mob of
cowboys racing after him. all intent up
on getting the first rope on his anatomy
and downing the 'critter." Ikua Purdy
lived up TO his reputation as the most
expert cowboy In Hawaii by winning
from Archie Kaaua and Willie Spencer.
The Parker ranch contingent fairly
iarmed this contest An Emergency
topping Contest was to have followed,
but this event was eliminated from the
program on account of the lateness of
the hour and the iaded condition of the
steers.
RIDING THE WILD STEER.
VIII Bellina took first try and rode
the bullock like a veteran. After the
first spasm the animal was quickly SUBJ
jugated and gave Belina n very pleas
ant ride round the field. Sam Kahana
was next to perform and he connected
with pretty lively animal whose eff
forts to rid itself of the burden on its
back made the crowd roar with laugh
ter During the steers progression
round the course II caused the native to
turn somersault, which must have
made him see stars as we'll as steers.
Both did well, however. and the purse
was accordingly divided.
HANDKERCHIEF RACE.
1t was to gallop some distance and
to bend down and secure a handker-
chief lying on the ground. Lopez,
Spencer, Pulu and McKnew all showed
daring horsemanship but the latter got
away with the rest of the bunch and
won first prize handily from 100 90"
Lopez.
HO-BUSTING CONTEST.
This proved to be an exciting AFFAIR
for both of the ponies We're bad and
did not hesitate to show their mean
ness. Frank Vida and Sam Mauna
faced the music, the former going to
work on a wicked-looking gray from
the Leilehua ranch which no one has
ever succeeded in breaking and
which was brought into town for a
joke. First rattle out of the box the
pony bucked like one possessed, going
up high and coming down hard. Vida
stuck to his guns, however, through
thick and thin and was awarded first
prize for mastery exhibition OF
horsemanship. Mauna followed with a
sorrel animal which bucked and kept
bucking. Mauna kept his seat well and
managed to control the beast in a Sc
ries of mad rushes but eventually the
pony fell and brought its rider down
with him. Mauna lay on the ground
and doctor was summoned who pro-
nounced the mans injury nothing
worse than dislocated shoulder which
was speedily put into commission
again.
This closed the program and the
crowd went home, well satisfied with
the afternoons sport.
