rails. Butter Creek" one of the best
of the nd-string buckers, made
three mighty bounds and Cliff Cared
bit the dust. Slim Chambers drew
poor mount in ARROW ana was
given a second mount, "Izee' which
he rode in good form. Andrew Jack
an Indian boy, mounted "Wardaloo-
pa" and was churned breathless be-
fore he finally left his saddle for ter
ra firma via the air route.
The mighty old Long Tom rid
den for the first time since last
year, drew a good rider in Ira de Mile
who stayed in the saddle Throughout
the pounding of the big sorrel. But
he did not ride in accredited FORM
being forced to go down for the horn
to keep his seat "Speedball,' y the
black demon, made a terrific buck
and projected Lester Pope into space.
"Smithy" forced A. Sleeps to pull
leather to save himself from a fall
but "Corbett" had not the punch OF
his namesake, failing to shake
Charles Keith. Casey Jones' who
threw his every rider last year, was
not to the liking of Frank Downs aVd
ne failed to show up as did TWO other
riders who had entered.
The four Indian and squaw races
proved popular with the crowd while
the tug of war and quick change race
furnished amusement. The Chariot
race, a new event for the Roundup
was an interesting and closely con-
tested one as were the standing races.
The exhibition feats of cowboy and
cowgirl skill raised ripples of won
derment from the audience. CUBA
Crutchfield, beyond doubt the great
est trick and fancy roper in the world
performed seemingly impossible feats
with his lariat. Up and down, about
and around his body, back and forth
the whirling moose Kissed and wrlth-
ed while the master roper turned
scmersaults, stood on his head, laid
fiat down and went through various
other contortions. One of his best
feats was the roping Of horse and
rider while standing on his head. Roy
Jones, Ben Corbett and Jaun Mon
tano also performed difficult feats
with their ropes.
Though Otto Kline, the champion
trick rider of 1918 and 1914, was not
present, having been killed at Madi-
son Square Garden last spring, there
we're men to take his place. The
Scale Bros. and Tommy Grimes
dashed up and down the track, leap
ing over their horses and back and
doing all manners of feats in freak
horsemanship, while Vera McGinnia
and Mabel DeLong upheld the hon
ors Of their sex in this feature.
In the middle of the program, the
thousands of spectators were given
an opportunity to rest their nerves
and catch their breath while they
feasted their eyes on the gorgeous
spectacle Of hundreds of cowboys and
cowgirls, picturesque in their gay
colors, and hundreds Of Indians IN
their rich and brilliant parade dress
filing past the grandstand in the
mounted grand march.
AS the dust from the fast and fu'
rious Indian pony race cleared away
Governor James withycombe climbed
down from his box and mounted Q
beautiful black horse upon which
was the prize saddle in the buckina
contest. He was given an enthusiaac'
tic applause as ne rode around the
track with President T. D. Taylor and
fell into line in the grand march

1t was picturesque beyond descrp-
tion and was received with the same
enthusiasm that these parades have
always received. The spectacle end
ed with a forward dash across the
arena by the entire troop.
The most exciting and the most
wildly mirthful event was saved for
the last, the wild horse race in which
twenty cowboys attempted all at once
to mount an equal number of snort
ing cayuses, never before ridden. For
ten minutes the air was full of heav-
| ing bodies flying hoofs and hats as
the buckarooes tried to keep their
unsteady seats and at the same time
urge their mounts around the track,

Great Buck1ng.

In the bucking contest some great
rides were made on some Of the worst
outlaws in the world and some great
tumbles were taken by buckarooes
from the backs Of others. The most
spectacular ride OF the day was made
by Ben Cakes on "sundance." When
first he mounted, the unruly brute did
the always-feared "fallover," but the
buckaroo extricated himself and
mounted again. After a straightaway
running buck had failed to dislodge
the human cockleburr. the big mus
tang pivoted, pinwheeled, plunged
high in the air and, as a last resort
dashed into the judges horses and
made vain attempts to brush off the
clinging legs that pricked his flanks.
When the rider descended, after the
horse had been taken up, he was
given a great ovation.

Minor rode into the championship in

ranges and for two years enjoyed

do himself justice but, nevertheless,
made some terrific plunges. Fred

to be thrown and kept his seat
though he did not court a fall by
scratching his mount.

VANISHES O. NIGHTS
Pocantico Hills Puzzle
Helps Keep His Mind
from Bereavement.
IBy telegraph to Th. Tr,buns.I

Tarrytown, n. Y, March 25.-J. D.:
Rockefeller has spent 100000 to build
q lake on the Buttermilk Hill section
of his Pocantico Hills estate.
Twice within the last six months he
has knocked off work with his men at
night and left a perfectly good lake
in the bowl. Twice, next morning,
nothing but a sandy bottom remained.
Where the water went or how it got
away is still mystery to Mr.. Rocke-
feller. He gave up trying TO solve the
problem q month ago TO go South. The
sudden death of Mrs. Rockefeller
brought him back. lie feels deeply
the death of his wife, and no one, not
even his old friends, have been able
to approach him. To get his thoughts
on other matters he has taken up the
lake mystery.
Some of the workmen discovered
ouicksand to-day, and Mr.. Rockefeller
is almost convinced that this has twice
caused the loss of his lake. Mr.. Rocke-
Teller has spent too much money on
the plan to abandon il now, and t is
said he will spend as much more be-
fore he will be defeated in his purpose.
Mr.. Rockefeller has had most un-
usual experiences with lakes. year
ago one Of his lakes on the Bedford
Road disappeared overnight. 1t was
said that it had followed a crack into
the old Croton aqueduct, but Mr..
Rockefeller never sued the city for
the loss.

POISON PEN NOTES TO GIRL
AROUSE WRATHOF BLOOMFIELD
Victims Pastor and Other Members of His Church
Remembered Too-Father Threatens Prosecu-
ton but SHES at Publicity.

One Of those nasty, spiteful, poison
penners has invaded Bloomfield, N. j.,
and has been bombardlng that town
with insinuating letters, choosing Miss
Loretta Henderson, daughter of Robert
j. Henderson, and her pastor, the Rev.
B. N. Mccoy, of tho Watsessing Meth
odist Episcopal Church, as especial
targets.
Other members Of Mr.. McCoy's
church have received samples of poison
penmanship, and are unanimous in as
serting that the only possible antidote
is exposure of the culprit, an apology
and probable legal prosecution to fol-
low. To this end the Postofflce De-
partment has been informed. Bloom
fold folk now look with a certain awe
upon all strangers, for there is no tell
ing but what they may be federal de-
tectives sent to unravel the mystery.
Mr.. Henderson was probably the
most irato man In New Jersey last
night, his wrath being kindled by the
anonymous missives sent his daughter,
and famed into blaze by the
fact that those reporter fellows had
got hold Of the story For ten minutes
his supper cooled on the table, while
he explained to his would-be inter
viewers that he had nothing, absolute
ly nothing, to say.
Publicity was to be Stunned In this
matter, Mr.. Henderson opined. 1t
would be a waste of time 70 question
him. To think Of interviewing Miss
Henderson was preposterous. He had
no idea who the wielder of the pen
was. He wished that he did know. He

DECLARES BRITISH
ARE AFTER CALAIS
Visitor Back from Germany
Says England's Object Is
Grab of French Port.

That England desires to annex Calais
is the firm belief of Wade Robinson, of
the insurance firm of f. Hermann &
Co., 45 Wall Street, who returned yes
terday on the Holland-American steam
er Rotterdam, after a six weens' visit
TO Germany.
German authorities declare that
England is fighting France" said Mr..
Robinson. "England's plan Is to land
sufficient troops at Calais, go that when
peace negotiations are started she will
demand Calais as her share Of the
triumphs of war. England wants n
second Gibraltar on the Channel, but
Germany is aware Of this condition
and plans TO take Calais at any price
before the war comes to an end.
England also has her eyes on the
Dardanelles. To hold the principal
water routes OF the world has always
been England's aim. With Calais and
the Dardanelles under her control,
there would remain few, if any, of the
trade routes free from England's in
fuence."
In these observations Of the traveller
returned from Germany there was a
peculiar historical parallel, il was
pointed out. Calais was besieged in
1346, after the battle of Crecy, by the
English, under Edward III, and held
out until famine forced its surrender.
It's inhabitants were saved from massG-
ere through the devotion of Eustache
de st. Pierre and six Of the chief cltl-
zens, who were themselves spared at
the prayer Of Queen Philippa. Calais
remained in the hands of the English
till 1868, when IL was taken by Francis.
Duke Of Guise, at the head of 10000
men, after a siege Of seven days. It
was held by the Spanisrds from 1895
to 1898, but restored to France by the
Treaty of Vervins.

The dismissal Of Stanton by former

unfit for service.
He accused Waldo Of having ap--
having appointed undesirable men. and
in some cases reappointed men who had
been removed by Bingham and Cropsey

A few days after his testimony
charges were filed against Stanton by
Detective Sergeant Richard F. Oliver
who ALLEGED that when an applicants

offered TO fix things for him for $3.50.
The corroborating witness was Thomas

several former deputies testified 70
Stanton's honesty. and ATTY said they
did not believe Oliver. Nevertheless

Prof. Giddings Gives Machia-

This German kultur, the non-politi-

American invention, Professor Frank

New York Peace Society last night IN
Aeolian Hall. To Machiavelli he gives
the credit for the political phases.
Scientifically developed and expert

Benjamin Thompson, was this social

idea, said Professor Giddings. Next
after Jonathan Edwards and BENJAMIN
Franklin, he. stands as the professors
greatest American.
"Born in Woburn, Mass, in 1768,"
said the speaker. Thompson found
himself after brilliant and distin-
guished career, but while still in the
prime Of life, in the employ OF the
Elector Of Bavaria. Here he was given
a free hand and worked out, IN Munlch
and Bavaria. the ideas which achieved
the so-called impossible. HIS social ell
