COWBOYS IN GLORY
 OTHERS IN THE DUSI
Knight Rides the Bad One and Shows How it is Done in Real Life.

One of the events of Christmas day in Phoenix was the second day of the Wild West exhibition at Eastlake park given under the management O. Jack Gibson and Harry Knight The crowd was a large one. filling both grandstand and bleachers. and some space besides. including the tops of the cOttOnwoOds beyond the south fence. The program of stunts was much the same as on the lrst day.
 The potato race. which was the fea- ture and most exciting event of the first day. was not sO good yesterday On account of the lateness of the hour. rules were made eliminating the rougher part and left it straight case of spearing a spud and get away with il to the receptacle. The three Ameri- cans. Jim Gibson, oscar Roberts and Joe Bassett. won the prize against three Mexioans. Their mounts were well handled, Jim Gibsons showing up as strictly onto it's business. and Jim was pretty handy about forking the tubers
 The bronco riding was much better than on the first day. however. The outlaw. Brown Jim which threw Ed Jones twice on the first day. was finally ridden by Knight. who can ride anything from r:inoceros to a mountain goat. He is an Arizona cowboy. something less than a seven footer. Hercules in build. and with his chaps. tall hat. red handkerchief and red flannel shirt. makes about the most picturesque looking subject for cowboy poster sketch that could be found. All he needed yesterday to complete the figure was a cigarette to light while being heaved up and down on the back of wild cyclone on four legs.
 Bryan. the Texas boy on a wager first attempted to ride the beast. but after brief authority was dumped in the dust. He afterwards showed that he was not a tenderfoot by essayiHe to ride Maud. the mule. The crowd yelled --- him 10 remember the fate Of Cy. and that he better call the old woman with the wheelbarrow. But the mule was docile as a June calf after a few bucks and a snort or two. Notwithstanding. the subsequent gal Top around the field was no palace car travel by a long shot
 There was some more interesting bronco riding and Jack Gibson is right in his claim that the bunch oi horses were the worst ever assembled in Arizona. Besides these events the flag picking was on the slate. The first time the contestants. Knight and Ellis Wilson. tied. hut on the second trial Knight took first
 The fancy roping by Knight was the best ever seen. and, took well with the crowd. which continued good na- tured till the exhibition was over. It Is safe to say that Knight and Jones are the two best skilled riders and allsaround range men in the country. The Texas boy is also a good one. but in his stunt yesterday he was at a disadvantage in riding tho outlaw without hridle. halter or any sort of

HOW MAP MAKERS
 HAVE MIXED NAME $
They Have Paid Little Attention to
 Nomenclature of Early Arizonans.

John osborn was speaking of the in- accuracy of the government maps of this territory in relation to the names of prominent objects such as mount aims and rivers which had been named by the early settlers. Many of these names have been preserved in the maps but the.- are given locations quite foreign to the original ones and their significance in thereby destroyed.
 He mentioned particularly the case of OK Bow peak which appears on the maps tO he east of the valley whereas it is north and a little west.
 It received its name in the first place from a curious and tragic cir cumstance. A wagon train bound for the north was surprised by a band of Apaches. all the members of the party were killed and the oven drawing the wagons were driven to the vicinity of the peak and slaughtered. In every case the head of the animal was cut of. presumably for the purpose of freeing t from the OK bow. the Indians being unfamiliar with the use of the key. These OK bows were found scattered about, hence the name of the peak.
 In this case the human victims were found stripped of every vestige of clothing. except the socks which had not been disturbed IL is said that in all known cases of. the masSarce of whites by the Apaches. the socks ar stockings of the victims have never been removed though every other ar ticles of apparel had been carried off. There is supposition that there is something in the Apache's curious superstitions that leaves him in awe of wtat he does not understand and to him the sock is more or less of mystery.

 Little Santa Claus, Garner Wilson, a typical Santa in miniature, drove

CHRISTMAS DINNER
 Al HE WO0DFORD
A Lot of Mere Men Who Had a Good Time and Had Nobody to BIarno for it But Themselves and the Manage n1ent.

An aggregation of the biggest brains and hearts that ever sat around fes- tive table. was gathered yesterday for the Christmas dinner at The Woodford. II is sincerely hoped the livers and lights of the guests are as perfectly constituted as their brains and hearts, else will they be today the biggest army of dyspeptics that ever marched without a general. for here is what they were up against:
 Oysters
 Celery Salted Nuts Olives
 Salad @ la Woolford
 Vino de Cassousinheimcr Young Turkey Stuffed with Chestnuts
 Dressing
 Potatoes au Gratin Asparagus
 Petit Pois
 English Plum Pudding with Hard
 Sauce
 Assorted Cake
 Pumpkin Pie Mince Meat Pie
 Ice Cream
 Assorted Fruit. Rancho de Cook
 Nuts and Raisins
 Sage Cheese
 Cafe Noir
 Appreciating that nature alone would be unable to conquer such a formidable array the Orient orchestra had been secured to spur the diners on to noble deeds and it's efforts were most fruit ful, while the diners were full of fruit The orchestra led the charge to the air of march specially composed and dedicated to the Woodford. which hotel appealed to the guests of the day as a greater storehouse than did the gran aries of the Pharohs to the meek and humble brothers of Joseph. The dec orations wcr superb. the colors being red and green. The center piece was a handsome red bell and a large Teddy bear held the draperies in each corner. The hand-out from the chef how ever. was only an appetizer for the mental feast Ideas were promulgated around that hospitablc board that would have embarrassed Solomon, Peter Pan and Wm. J. Bryan in all tNeir wisdom. Everything was dis cussed from theology to criminology from the national banking system 10 the most expeditions method of set ding with the laundryman. There was a surfeit of bon mots that will drive Mark Twain to suicide if he ever hears about it and scientific discourses ranged from The utility of the spit ball in the Arizona league" to the In fIuence of Tom Lawson on English Li- erature

Good Snail Year, Good Sheep Year.

Most people would be Mortified
to learn that the finest mutton in
the world comes from sheep fattened
on snails," says q large breeder of
Southdown sheep; nevertheless it
is a fact. In seasons when snails are
plentiful the mutton from our sheep
has a delicious flavor which it never
acquires from the most scientific form
of feeding. On the continent diet
of snails is regular cure for con-
sumption and is said to fatten and
rourish the body in wonderful way.
There is a popular superstition, "
he adds, that the unique and deli
cate flavor of Southdown mutton is
due largely to the quantity of wild
thyme which they crop with the
grass in their pastures. But person
ally 1 give the snails the greater
part of the credit for the soft, plump
flesh and the sweetness Of flavor in
our celebrated sheep. So much in
their the case that the saying, Good
snail year, good sheep year, has
become almost proverD among shep'
herds and breeders. London Mail
