LOW TELLS Of
WILD WEST SHOW
Why McPhee Made No Better
Record Than he
Did.

1.-THE Wild West show in Hno was
a great success in every way" said
Eben p. Low yesterday on his return
by the Kinau. 1T was a success IN
events and records and in attendance,
although the attendance was not as
large as it would have been had there
not been so much rainy weather. X
had been raining all week almost and
did not stop until noon of the day OF
the show. 1t was expected that Il
would be postponed If it continued to
rain, and good many people from the
plantations thought II was going 10
continue to rain and so would BE- put
off and did not come in.
But what pleased the people almost
as much as anything else was the
promptness with which the show pro-
ceeded. AS fast as one event vas fin
ished another one was begun. There
was no drag, and that is said TO be
something unusual i'm Hilo
"The ground was soft from the rain.
but that did not prevent records being
made. McPhee had a bad horse. 1t
couldn't make the speed for the steer.
That is why he made no better rec
ord. one of the girls up there told
him that the next time he had better
ride the steer and rope the. horse. The
horse was a good one, q thoroughbred
I intended to ride him<nyself but when
/ saw what he did to McPhee 1 took
another horse, a waimeS animal. The
trouble with the horse seems to have
been either that he was overfed, or
else that coming down from the noun
tains to the sea level at Hilo the
change in climate had done him up
for the time being. He was all right
when he had been tried in practise
day or two before. McPhee was offer
ed his choice OF couple Of fine thor
oughbreds from the Horner ranch. fine
mettlesome fellows, when it was seen
that the other horse was not quite
up to concert pitch. But he declined
them, not having tried them and be-
ing a little leery of the possibilities
when not accustomed to his horse. He
had seen Winters get a bad layout in
practise. You see there is a knack I'm
busting your steer Just at the right
time You must try to do 1t when
your horse is on good ground. If you
don't or if your bust your steer when
your horses feet are off the ground the
steer will bust you instead of you bust
ing the steer. That is what happened
/ to Winters. His horse was thrown
somersault and Winters was uncon-
scians for thirty minutes.
"Of course in the contest for record
time each man had just one chance
and it was unlueky for McPhee that
he had a bad mount Another oppor-
tunity was offered in the gentlemen's
contest. but McPhee did not care to
take It. He has no kick coming. He
recognizes that it was a case Of hard
luck.
For myself. went out to make
a record. and luckily I had a horse
that enabled me to do it,"
