East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-09-12

same rules and regulations as those
governing the cowboys event Is the
first Of these thrilling and spectacular
contests the world has ever had an
opportunity to witness. There are
but few cowgirls fyho can rope Wild
steer and hogtie them Pendieton has
the honor OF being the home OF one
of the most expert in this line, Bertha
Blancett. She Is an expert roper ana
can hog-tie the steer almost as deftly
and swiftly as any cowboy who holds
a worlds record. She will defend her
title against all the world at the COM
ing Roundup while there are only
three other entries in this contest at
present, there will probably be three
more, making It thrilling spectacle.
This is not an exhibition steer roping
by a cowgirl but an out and out con-
test between cowgirls for a cash
purse.
Then there is the standing Roman
race, two of them, one for the cow
boys and one for the cowgirls with
half a dozen and more entries In each
at the present time. In the cowboys
standing race there will be such well
known Roman riders as Benny Cor
bett, Art Accord, Walter Scale, Tom
my Grimes, Johnny Baldwin, Jason
Stanley, Otto Kline. Fred Miller and
Sam Brownell. These men will ev-
cry one be in that race for the mon
ey and think what a spectacle that
will be to see a bunch of capable rid
ers like that whipping their horses
round the track and risking their
lives at every jump. 1t can't be beat
and never will be equalled. Ths
Roundup Is the only place in the
world where so much talent can be
seen in such a spectacular race. And
remember, this is a race and not an
exhibition.
The cowgirls' standing race is every
bit as big. II will be far more thrill
ing If such a thing is possible because
they are cowgirls and not cowboys
riding the Roman team. In this
cowgirls' standing race there will be
Tillie Baldwin, Bertha Blancett, Lou
Use Thompson, Bera. McGennis ana
Mary Meener You know how Tillie
and Bertha ride. The others can
tide just as well, and there you have
a faint conception Of what that race
will be. Not an exhibition, but a
real race for blood. The only thing
the girls get out of it is the money
they win.
Then. too, the Indian parade, races
and war dances will be greater this
year than ever. There will be more
Indians Oh the ground and so many
in the Indian pony race that it has
been split into two races, one for the
regular indian cayuses and one for
the Incian race horses. They will
have better clothes this year, those
that wear clothes and those that do
rot will have more paint on their
bare skins than ever before. The In
dian feature will be just as much big
ger than last year as any of the 9TH
er events.
There Will be at least four team-
! competing in the stage coach race.
/ And there will be an army of cow
, boys in the wild horse race, in the
bull-dogging and in the maverick
race.
The exhibition features will be bet
| ter than ever The fancy roping will
/ be done by Miss Jane Bernoudy,
who will this year do some speciai
stunts on horseback; Buffalo Vernon,
Chester Byers. Sammy Garrett, Ben
ny Corbett. Cuba Crutchfield, Tommy
| Grimes and Art Accord. The trick
and fancy riding will be done by TIL
! H.. Baldwin, Vera McGinnis, Otto
| Kline. John Baldwin, Art Accord and
Sam Brownell.
And last but not least again, but
in reality the first and only exhibI-
ton of its kind in the world, will be
! the buil-dugging of a wild steer each
afternoon by Tillie Baldwin, Pendle-
toms most famous cowgirl. To see
1fli!e come usshing down in front OF
! the grandstand alongside the Texas
ionghorn. throw herself from the
saddle, bring the running steer to
! stop and threw it with her bare
hands will lie O sight to, thrill the
most sluggish nature. 1t is the cE-
max of the big features which the
Roundup has in store for the spec
tators this year.
Space will not permit a mention
Of each and every one of the events,
but they will all be proportienately
big, in fact so big that the people win
wondc. that such a mammoth exhibit
ton can be staged in a city the size
| of Pendleton and in one afternoon.
But the Roundup is not only going
