First Stampede Day
Ideal Day Draws Big Crowd to Contests OF Cow
boys and CoWgirls; Splendid Exhibit
ton Given.

I the evening was the attempt made by
| Hawaiian Islander, Joe Mccoy, to
ride saddleless bull.
The last event was an exhibition of
bulldogging' attempted by Jim
Accord. Accord made three very hard
tries and had three very hard falls for
his pains, but the poor lights, and not
Accord, were to blame. The manage.
ment stated that tomorrow there Will
| be a number of arc lights on the
grounds, and there will be no hindrance
| TO the exhibitions in that way.
The steer bulldogging contest was
the most spectacular part of the after
| noon programme. 1t was entered by
three mon. each of whom held world S
titles, and the result was three splen-
did exhibitions The best time was
made by l.. w. Minor OF, Eagle Val
ley, Or, who conquered his steer in
| minute and 10 seconds, although the
prettiost throw was made by Jim Mas
sew of Snyder, Tex. He threw his
steer directly in front Of the grand
stand, but the pace he was going at the
time caused him and the steer to roll
completely over, making it necessary for
him to throw the steer second time.
Art Accord of Castle Dale, Utah, won
third place in the contest.
The cowgirls' bucking horse contest
was interesting and showed talent, the
only trouble being that two Of the
girls were unfortunate in that their
mounts did not do much bucking. None
Of the four girls were thrown. No an
nouncement was made by the judges, as
this was but a part of the contest for
the world championship. The pref
tiest riding in the contest was done by
CHER.
In the cowboys bucking contest the
record established by the girls of stay
ing on the horses was not maintained.
Three of the riders were ANONYMOUSLY
thrown And no one appeared to ride
Indian Killer, the announcement being
made that the man scheduled for the
difficult test was afraid. Still there
was some pretty and expert riding
Robbins and Walter Boshard remained
on their horses without taking leather
Richard l.. Thornton had his rorse turn
backward over him, but he held TO the
halter so that the fall does not count
to his discredit Louis LeClaire, a
Pocatello Indian, also lost his place in
the saddle In way not to count
against him. His horse, after giving
a splendid exhibition, fell over his
head in a way that it was impossible
for the rider to keep his place.
Pretty Rose Wenger has a string of
admirers that is enough to make any
girl envious. And she did most Of it
by winning the girls relay race. She
made the two miles in ) minutes and
Is seconds, and showed skill and a
perfect knowledge of horses from start
to finish. In one change of horses the
mount lunged and she was caught with
sympathy swept over the crowd, and
one of the attendants rushed to the
| girl IS assistance, but she was too quick
for him and extricated herself from
the dangerous position before help
reached her. Her quick work won the
race for her, as the riders are not al
lowed assistance. Vera McGinnis of
Salt Lake City, the only other entree,
showed good form, but was unfoTtu-
nate in having what appeared to be a
poor string Of horses.
Indians Popular.
The Indian relay race was interest
ing. Tt was won by Frank Smart, with
Ben Sinyini second and Richard Burke
third.
Ed Gibson of Pendlcton, Or, won

wild horse race. and Jim Massey re-
ceived second place.
| Apparently differing from the rest
Of the contests, in that it seemed to
be purely for exhibition, the chariot
race was nevertheless one of the pret-
tiest parts Of the programme. Ben
Seatop. with four beautiful grays,
came in ahead, but was given hard
race by his brother, Clary Seaton. who
drove four dark bays. Both of the
men are from Idaho Falls, Idaho.
| Indians are numerous at the stam-
pede. and their parade at about the
middle of the programme yesterday
afternoon gave q picturesque touch that
added much to the exhibition.
