was one grand time Of hair-raising
escapes and daredevil exhibitions Of
nerve and horsemanship.
Nine men chosen to ride in the
ssmi-finals found only four who had
kept their seats when the time came
for the trial Of their skill. Mccary
had been the victim of terrible Wild
cat fall and Jack Elliott with his sad
die between his knees had gone over
Bad whiskey's head. Then three men
were openly disqualified when Sky

spite of the terrible crushing he had

II came when an ordinary man would
have felt anxious TO have ridden
