ground, overlook his horse, made q
flying mount and made such good
time that he came out second for the
three days.
Jason Stanley was the pony express
champion who met his Waterloo. He
lost one of his horses in yesterdays
race but even at that Braden Gerk-
ing had him beaten, for by winning
each day he had seconds to give away
John Baldwin was second for the three
days and third has not yet been de-
termined by the judges.
Bertha Blancett Wins.
! 1t was all Bertha Blancett in the
cowgirls' relay race. With more than
a three minute lead over. her nearest
competitor for the first two days, she
ran away from the field again today,

None of the steer ropcrs OF yester-
day could approach the record of %
seconds set by Ed McCarty Friday.
Adolph Ordway's rope broke after he
had caught his steer and his chances
went glimmering, Henry Webb ex-
perienced the same fate. Jim Roach.
champion of last year, caught his
steer by the front foot and the ami
NAL was thrown after leaping the
fence. Though lying on the ground
and held by the faithful little cow
pony, the steer fought Roach off until
after the two minute limit had ex-
pired. Sam Garrett caught his steer
only by one horn and on the fall the
rope slipped off. Second money in the
steer roping goes to Johnny Judd of
Cheyenne and the third probably to
Cuba Crutchfield. though there is
some question about his time
Wild Horse Race Best Ever.
The wild horse race, the final event
of the 1913 Roundup, was the wild
est of ALL The wiry little range ami
mails seemed to be determined upon
giving the show a fitting finale and
the spectators grew almost as wild as

One animal, breaking from the
wranglers. plunged through the heavy
wire screens into the bleacher crowd
and added a little stunt not on the
program. The event was won by Ev-
erett Wilson with Jason Stanley sec

Boy Rider Wins Applause.
One of the features of the days

both hands free, the audience roared
its approval. To rescue him from the
back of the unhaltered horse, Jinks
Taylor rode alongside AMI lifted him
to the back of his own horse
Sharkey dumped both of his loads
yesterday as did Henry Vogt but Buck
the bull buffalo was ridden bareback,
his straight ahead bucking not being
difficult to fathom. Several wild
horses were also ridden bareback.
Trick Riding Amazes.
The trick roping and riding was
again brilliant, Otto Kline's circuit of
the track while leaping from one side
OF his horse to the other being the
most difficult feat ever witnessed
here. Walter Scale performed the
ride as on the two previous /
days, reeling and swaying while stand /

horse and there We're salvos of ap-
plause when he collapsed upon the I
neck of the animal.
