(From Saturdays Daily.)


Those residents of Prescott OF
twenty years ago had their memories
pleasantly refreshed yesterday as the
magnificent spectacle of $50 cow
boys mounted on their range horses
again swept through the streets oil
the city, and wendell their way to
the old racetrack.
The grand parade was an excellent
reproduction of the old days, and
the personnel was reflective of the
familiar forms who made the wheels
go round rapidly, when there was
something on the boards in skill and
daring that was again enacted yes
terday, and excited the admiration
of those of the present day as it
did in the era that has vanished into
the dim distance.
The grand entry on the field OF
sports was headed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas Mix, OF the Selig Polyscope
Company, graceful in their pose and
with that mien that assured the day S
doings were to be pulled off salts
factorily to the five thousand specta-
tors scattered from one end to the
other of the enclosure. 1t was a
cowboy event, in tune with the
sentiment which actuated it and
toned up with actors that clearly and
cleverly conceived their mission 10
portray Frontier Day, as it was in
tended in the beginning.
In short, it was a great day and
was made so by the greatest gather
ing that had ever congregated al
that point. The scene was inspiring
and the only departure from other
days was the hundred or more gaso-
line wagons. Otherwise the spectacle
was like "summoning from the
shadowy past the forms OF those
once familiar"
The day was ideal and was not
married by the slightest accident to
any who attended or any who par
ticipated in the thrilling feats OF the
range. To add to the pleasure, there
was no friction among contestants
and the decisions OF the judges were
pronounced as fair and impartial in
every Instance.
Individual credit should be whole
somely extended to Charles Hooker,
of Yavapai; Thomas Wells, of Pinal,
and Oscar Roberts, of Maricopa
counties, who presided as judges.
Thomas E. Campbell acted as an
nouncer, while Marshall Stedman, OF
the Selig Polyscope Company, rem
dered valuable assistance in arrang-
ing the program, which was carried
out on the field by Geo. c. Ruffner,
as chairman OF the sports committee.
Fancy Trick Exhibition.
The first event was the cowboy
trick and fancy roping exhibition,
in which Harry Knight proved the
victor over Tom Mix The former
is a marvel with the RATA, and his
feats were a revelation to the throng.
He throws the rope with that pre-
cision as TO catch the horse at full
speed, either on the front or hind
foot, and to make the play good, he
reres the entire animal and rider,
with that ease and skill as to place
him in a class by himself. One OF
his remarkable accomplishments was

10 lay the rope on iHC IOuhu diiu
as the animal and rider were coming
along at full speed, to kick the loop
ed rope from its position and en-
circle the front legs of the horse,
then its hind legs, then the neck. at
last horse and rider being captured
with the loop, widened to meet
that requirement. He closed his
engagement with the RATA by an
exhibition of twirling it around him
self, in loops of various sizes, and
jumping in and out of the plaything
TO the amazement o. all. Mr.. Mix
is also skilled, and was contented
to receive the second prize, which
he we'll earned This feature proved
the drawing card of the day, and
has never before been equalled in
this section in the variety of the
stunts both men so cleverly executed.
Trick and Fancy Riding.
Another interesting cowboy ex-
hibition was the trick and fancy
riding in which George Hooker
carried off the first prize. This
horseman performed daring feats,
such as had never before been wit
messed At full speed he would
swing from the ground into the
saddle, and before he was through
would climb from one end TO the
other of his steed which never re-
Taxed its gait for an instant Hooker
was said to be at a disadvantage in
his feats, riding a horse that was
picked out of the bunch, and not
knowing its habits. as he was per
forming his acts. Skill and grace
marked his every act, and his ex
hibition received the applause of
every one.
Hooker is somewhat of a cele-
brated character on the range, for
merly being with the Buffalo Bill
Wild West and l0l Ranch shows.
He recently came to this city with
the Selig Polyscope Company. He
also stated yesterday to friends that
when a young man he resided in
Prescott and served under the late
General George Crook, as a scout.
In his line he is a hard nut to
crack" and we'll earned the first
prize money
Goat Roping Contest.
Legislative discrimination in favor
Of the range steer prohibited them
from being roped and tied in public
exhibitions for the future, and in
their place yesterday was substituted
the next best article in the shape
OF the goat Bad luck prevailed in
this small fry commodity. There
were thirteen entries for this feature,
but many failed to get on the score
card, making a miss or failing 20

majority of the cowboys were only
slightly acquainted with the little

were w. Y. Peck pulled off the
first mohair prize of SIS and Oscar
Roberts captured his goat, taking
second money few seconds behind.
The other contestants either failed
to score or clipped off nearly a

PRESCOTT A FINE PLACE
FOR FILM MAKING
(From Thursdays Dailyl


How is Prescott climatically for
the making of picture films?" was
the question asked Marshall Sted-
man, the business agent of the local
Selig Polyscope Company, just to
make conversation yesterday after
noon as he was watching a buzz saw
go through cord or two OF four
foot wood.
Il should worry" he replied, land
get my salary raised"
THE atmospheric conditions here,
leaving all joking aside" he con-
tinued, are nothing short of marvel
Gus. We have been here just six
months to day Tuesday, and in all
that time there have been only fif-
teen days when the company could
not work Even when the snow was
on the ground Producer Duncan kept
the troupe busy and we secured
some fine scenes. OF course when
the snow was falling it was impos-
sible for us TO use the camera. Con
trast the weather here, in Chicago
and the east where II is necessary
on account of unfavorable atmos-
pheric conditions to lay off as long
as a month at 4 time. Then figure
what we are doing, and you can
realize that as a matter OF dollars
and cents Mr.. Duncan is making a
showing with the home office that
is more than gratifying, and turning
out pictures that in clearness can
not be surpassed.
The fact was intimated TO Mr.
Stedman that the general public is
inclined to the belief that picture
and other kinds of actors and actor
ines are prone to romance, in other
words to occasionally indulge in
statements that might be classed as
hyperbole-that on account of the
artificial atmosphere in which they
work the tendency is to exaggerate
just a trifle, not Willingly, knowingly
or with malice aforethought, of
course, but unconsciously, innocently
and with a mind free from intent to
deceive
Stedman did not receive the hint
with any great degree of enthusiasm,
contending that actors and actorines
differ not from other people when 1t
comes to adhesion to the truth, in
cidentally remarking that as great an
authority as David, the sweet psalm
singer of Israel, said that "all men
are liars" However, if his veracity
was called into question he was will
ing and ready to submit the proof.
And here it is, month for month, and
by the way, is just as good an
advertisement for the climate Of
Prescott and as accurate as one
could wish or demand:
