STAND BEER JOINT
RACES ARE FULL OF INTEREST
BEST RACES OF ALL WILL
BE TODAY

The second day of the fair proved
interesting throughout. The weather
was good and the attendance much
better than yesterday. .#l
+ The entertainments around the acir-
| cle" We're of the usual order and have
aroused considerable criticism from
two different elements of society. One
element claiming that gambling and
Skin games" should go entirely,
while another class says that if gam
! ing is allowed on the fair grounds it
should also be allowed in the pool
halls and other places up town. But
there is also that which is commend
able among the amusement features
| of the fair.
| The Races.
The racing was good all the way
through. There were some delays,
and while every event was not pulled
eff exactly on schedule it would have
been difficult ind eeh to have followed
a program more closely.

three, there were five emtries with re
suits as follows: Clarence, IL; Never
Again, %; Arge, 3-5; Pat Birdie, 4-3;

The Cowboy and Indian Relay Races.
# The Great American desert has CIV
en- place to the farmer and ranchman
The buffalo and the Indian in his saw
age state, are gone, and the stage
coach is here only in memory or for
show purposes, while Indians are be-
coming citizens and the cowboy and
broncho will soon change modes Of
life or become extinct Perhaps it is
an indistinct realization of this fact,
together with the picturesqueness of
the scene that makes us cling to this
part of passing western life so long
as we can. The stage coach, the cow
boy and the Indian are at the fair in
all their glory, and for true sport add
much to the occasion.
The fve-mile Indian relay race was
run by William Murlhern and Jesse
Redhawk as riders. Murlhern win
ming first prize. The race was excit-
ing and showed the endurance and
speed of the horses and the good
horsemanship of the riders.
The camp breaking" race was very
close and exciting. Chase Walking
taking first prize and David Redstone
second.
The moccasin race was very anus
ing and Four Swords being at the
close first and Eaglestaff second.
The second heat of the cowboy relay
race was hotly contested by two
brothers, John and Charles Kreutz, of
Howe. John having won in this event
for four successive years and won the
second heat of this year, which was
run yesterday The work in this race
was especially well done. The riders
having stopped, dismounted, changed
saddles, mounted. and off again in five
seconds.
| Real Broncho Busting.
| There was some real experience of
the liveliest kind when John Kreutz
attempted to ride G outlawed
horse from the Camp Crook ranch,
without bride. This time the rider
showed the boys how to fall off a
pitching, unframed broncho when the
sincere desire was to stay in the sad
i die. This only served to arouse Johns
mettle and today he promises to ride
three of the meanest horses that can
be roped and saddled. The sight is
to be one worth going many miles to
/ see and will be an event in the clos
| ing days of the cowboys career west
i of the Missouri. r..
