 INDIAN EVENTS. | The Indian events began in the fore noon and lasted until mid afternoon. The result of the days festivities wa. most satisfactory to everybody In the sporting events there was great deal of tribal rivalry, J. B. Alexander looking after the interests of those on the east end of the reservation and George E. Brown taking special care of those at the west end. Last year the Pimas won most of the prizes, but this year the Maricopas cleaned up first money on everything except the police mans race in which they had no rep resentative. The Pimas in most cases took second money. but they were all game sports and went home good nat ured, feeling that they had lots of fun and had been well treated by every body.
 The program began with parade of probably 400 pupils of the Phoenix In- dian rrka.e. panies beside the band which made thirteen in all and the drill was un- der the direction of Captain Grin stead, disciplinarian of the school. The first number was drill in the man. ual of arms followed by marching and counter marching. this performance taking place on the mile track before the grand stand. Three or four com panies were Indian girls and all were in the respective uniforms of the school
 This was followed by these events:
 Half mile horse race by two entries from Sacaton. one from Santan. and one from Maricopa. That does not mean Maricopa n'the railroad. but the Maricopa village. just above the june ton of the Salt and Gila rivers.
 Mile horse race with two entries from Casa Blanca. TWO from Gila Crossing, one from Maricopa.
 The first race after noontims was the policemans half mile run. There Were three Pima entries and the time was was 1:O6. A two mile horse race followed. for a saddle. given by Gold man & Co. The time in this race was 4:191s.
 mile relay foot race followed be- tween Maricopa, Indian school, Pima and Sacaton teams. There was change at each quarter and the time was 5:5sA. the second prize going 70 a Pima.
 In the next mile horse race there were four entries. and it was fine en tertainment. A bay horse led the first time around. then tried to break through the gate to the enclosure. He was finally headed off and herded back on the track. but by that time the field was past him and all he could make in the second lap was enough tc finish second. The time was 2:OSIt but just to show that there was spirit left in them the horses went round the track again and were finally stopped in front of the judges.
 The half mile spring wagon race for the big farm wagon offered by Pratt Gilbert & Co. was a real event There were two contestants and the race was won in 1:16k by Maricopa buck with the stolen name of Buffalo Bill. Never was there a prouder man than he as he drove back amid the plaudits of the grand stand. But he had a close call In the race for his team too. tried to go through the gate on the home stretch and would have done so only that the bars were up. and in the twist his wagon got at the time he all but hit the fence and went over.
 A quarter mile foot -uce finished the program for the Indians
