SATISFACTION Prevails OVER
DECISION OF JUDGES IN EVENTS
ATPENDLETON'S 1871 3RQUND-UF
Explanation Made as to Certain Awards s--Why Miss
Thompson Was Not Given First Place in Bucknq Cow
girls Contest Contestants Far Above Average Declares
One of Judges

General satisfaction seems to pre-
vail with the decisions of the judges
Of the Roundup contests. Contest
ants directors and spectators were
convinced that the three men who
were passing upon the performances
were doing so strictly on a merit ba-
sis and. while some were disappointed
at the failure of favorite TO win. the
great majority were willing to admit
that the judges, both from experience
and their position. were the better
qualified TO make the decisions.
Among many. the general impress
sion is that Minnie Thompson. the
girl with the golden hair, should have
won first place In the cowgirls' buck
ing contest but what these people do
not know is that Miss Thompson rode
her horse with hobbled stirrups while
Mrs Hawn and Mrs. Blancett rode
with stirups free as men do. There
Is all of the difference in the world
between the two forms. With the
stirrups tied to the cinch. the rider
Is virtually tied TO the saddle. Miss
Thompson herself. knew that she was
handlcapping herself by hobbling her
stirrups as did Blanche McGaughey
and Hazel Walker and they under
stood that the only chance they had
TO win first would be by Mrs. Hawn
and Mrs. Blancett being thrown.
Neither one OF these riders were
thrown. In explaining the decision
this morning. c. + Howard. one OF
the Judges. stated that Mrs. Hawn on
Snake was whipped" and stopped
over a little toward the end of her
ride but did not touch the horn as
many thought When she reached
down. he said she merely changed
hands on the rope. Mrs. Blancett, he
said. steadied herself by touching the
horn just before her horse jumped
the fence and she also lost her rein
and one stirrup before regaining her
upright position. But ] want to
say" said Mr. Howard. that those
women are the best have ever seen
