hurt by accident, just as their riders
may be, they enjoy the sport as keenly
as their riders.
In these roping contests, the horses
enter into the spirit Of the game, and
so thoroughly as almost to redeem it as
sport. But the poor bullocks do not,
and cannot. AS in coursing the hounds
enjoy it thoroughly, but it IS death to
the hares. AS the better element of the
community would scarcely be asked to
endorse and encourage coursing as a
means Of attracting visitors to the ISL
ands, so, if these roping contests are
looked at for really what they are it
is doubtful if any sincere friends of
animals will very enthusiastically ad-
vOcate roping contests as a spectacle
for advertising the islands.
On the ranch necessity exists for rop-
ing cattle. The skill, and the courage
required in it, under the conditions of
the open air, the open range, the emu
lation of the different men engaged in
it, make it a spectacle worth seeing
But the conditions of the ranch cannot
be reproduced in the purely spectacular
tournament. The prime element of
lltNtSSlly Is wanting. Inc Victims are
in strange surroundings and in the
presence of crowds of people, so that
their sufferings are greatly increased.
And the conditions are such that it
fails to become even a real test of skill.
Reviewing the whole of Saturdays
program, there is no doubt but that the
events most generally, most greatly.
and certainly most innocently enjoyed,
by the spectators, We're such contests
as the watermelon race, the egg race,
and the handkerchief race, events
which involved no suffering or torture
of animals.
Saturdays roping tournament was
gotten up, as it were, on the spur of
the moment, and the Star has no CEN
sure for those who got it up, and car
ried it out. But to make it yearly
event with the idea of making it an at
traction for our own people and our
visitors involves generalization, and it
is to be earnestly hoped that some
thing else will be found to take its
place
