Those disqualified were Miles Peck on No Name, Bill Hen dcrson on Buck and Bawl, Wild Horse" Hill on Panther, Bob Don nell on Pitchfork, and F. H. Reed on Silver King.
 Doc Pardee rode Zcbo and was first out of the box with him. True to his bad reputation Zebo performed as d real bronch should, Doc helping along by scratching him with both feet every jump from first to last. Doc, who appeared in his everyday working togs, is one of Hcnderson's most formidable rivals, although from the riding yesterday it was cvi- dent the champion will have to put up the fight of his life if he expects to retain his title.
 Big Sid was one of the buckers of the day and he was the first of the horses to throw his rider. Bob An derson, one of the movie men from Las Vegas, N. M., rode Big Sid with out stirrups and on plain race sad dle. He went about 50 feet and was thrown, his saddle breaking The judges, Jos. Bassett, William Cook and H. Cooper, decided to let him try again today. Anderson's ride was declared the pretticst of the day.
 The other man who will be given another chance today is "Yaqui' Or dinez of Seligman He rode Bald Hornet but because of saddle strap breaking and his rcfraining from us ing spurs so as to not endanger his life he will be given the second try. Lone Jordon had a hard nut to crack in Tambourine. Before the horse got out of the chute it tried to kick the entire affair down and when it did emerge buckcd so hard that he fell over and just missed catching one of Jordon's legs after two jumps. Jordon afterwards was given another chance and he quail fled on Red Squirrel.
 No Name ran away with Peck and he was disqualified because he failed to use his spurs. The Bar D. marc although there with good variety of bucking and jumping was easy meat for Logan Morris.
 Bill Henderson was not quite up to the standard set by his brother and in riding Buck and Bawl he fail cd to use his spurs as required and was disqualified by the judges. Johnny Frcdrick qualified on Vinegar Roan, one of last years favoritcs. The antics of the roan, four feet off the ground at times, brought cheers from the crowd in the grandstand. Frana Gyberg qualified on Flag staff horse, Danger, and although Danger put up a good exhibition yes crday it is expected that he will do more today as he is said to be one of the best buckcrs in the lot. Dick Parker, one of the Sclig men from Las Vegas, gave good exhibition of bronc busting on Frosty Back.
 Twenty Steer Ropers Qualify
 Twenty of the ? contestants in the steer roping prcliminarics quail fled. The steers were let into the arena at the north end of the grand stand and after getting a 6O-foot start were chased by the cowboys who soon overhauled them and had the lariat over their horns. As the cowpunchcr drew near the steer the latter would invariably indulge in an extra burst of speed. The steers after running tho full length of the rope would break string which at tachcd the rope to the ropcr's saddle. The time of the riders was taken from when the steer crossed the O. foot line to the time when the string was snapped The best time made yesterday was 101A seconds by J. w. Collins.
