PRIZE SADDLES ARE TWO
MOST HANDSOME ONES seen

The two prize saddles which will
go with the championships in the
cowboys and cowgirls' bucking con-
test this week are two of the most
handsome saddles ever seen here.
They are on display now in the win
dows of Hamley & Co, the makers.
On the saddle for the mems buck
ing contest the cantle. front, skirts.
tenders. taps, etc, are all bound with
a hand worked rope roll binding Just
inside of the edge of this binding is a
double white braid of calfskin. The
central design is of oak leaves and
acorns. The horn on the saddle Is
solid sterling silver, also the tie or
naments and buckles. The saddle
was not made with the idea of max
ing a show of silver and jewels but
with the idea of showing the public
some out-of-the-ordinary expert sad
die work. The making of this saddle
took more than twice the time of any
saddle formerly given at the Round
up. This saddle is donated to the
Roundup by Hamley & Co.
The saddle for the ladies' bucking
contest shows some expert work in
hand stamping, the design being Of
wild roses climbing through a lattice
work. All of the edgesare whipped
with white calfskin and the tie orna-
ments are all sterling silver. This
saddle is donated by the Penjleton
commercial Association, made by
Hamley & Co.
