Bedell; Jerusha by Caine; Hush,
by Mahon. The latter was pick
ed as a winner by many but he
was up against some good cam
paigners and didn't make good.
Jerusha won, Hush second. Time
los. Seventy did not come up
in good form on this race.
1t was very windy and disa-
greeable day with only a few
people in the grandstand to wit
ness the program and the horses
didn't seem to feel like running
although the races were some of
the best ever witnessed in this
place.
Although no entries had been
made for the bucking contest and
the weather was most disagreed
bic, the people were treated to
two exhibitions the riders being
Ross Dollarhide and Claude Mas
ters. The mounts did not make
very big jumps but it was inter
esting.
The second days racing cards
were very good. The first being
a three eighths mile dash in which
there were three starters: Red
Wings. by Caine; Teddy Roose-
welt by Cavender and Princes, by
Howard. They got away from
the post in good order Teddy
taking the lead from the jump
and held it all the way. Red
Wings came in second. Time
37a-the same time as made by
the saddle horses the day before
There were five fine horses to
face the starter in the half mile
dash. Maine, by Riley; Seventy,
by Bedell; Brandy by Caine; Blue
Mt. Belle by Parker. and Hush
by Mahon. The latter was bad
at the post causing some delay
and confusion but they were sent
away finally with not the best
start, but as good as possible.
Maine took the race without
much effort, Brandy being the
only contender that caused any
doubt. Time SOL.
The pace for three-year-olds
had but two starters, Doc Jones, T.
a colt of P. G. Smiths and a very F.
promising filly belonging to E. A. |
Murphy. They made a very
pretty and even race, each heat
being made in three minutes.
Doc Jones taking both heats.
There were no entries in the
roping contest and the steers
were brought out for some Of the
boys to ride. This was some
thing of a failure as was the
bronco busting the day before.
The steers refused to buck.
Thursday was another bad.
windy day but the attendance
was better than the former days
and the program very good.
the most amusing number which
was no doubt appreciated more
than any other was an attempt
to ride a bull. He threw Ross
Dollarhide with but few jumps.
Ross is a rider Of note and some
say there isn't a horse in Harvey
county that can throw him.
The first race was a half
mile for saddle horses with Bolly ,
B, by Harry Buck; Red by ALI
son, and Red Bird, by Clemens,
1t was race from the
start and quite close. Bolly came
N first and Red Bird second. Z
Time 55.

was a pretty race with Rowdy,
Teddy Roosevelt and Red Wings
starting. Teddy won, Red Wings
