the entire gathering to Its feet shout
 ing and yelling was that in whict
 "Booger Red" and Hero" finished
 neck and neck, there being not ar
 eyelash between them when they passed the judges stand. The three judges inn d ately announced through Pardee that the race would be called a tie because the horse; had arrived at the line in dead hea! for the half mile run which was a novelty cowhorse race with a purse Of $100. The race was a close one from the start, the purse of $100 be ing divided four ways, $25 going to the horse in the lead at each eighth mile post after the start "Booger' captured the first eighth by length and Hero" the next two by six inches in the first instance and a length in the second.
 Hell Bender" captured the cash in the one-half mile free-for-all by cross ing the line in front of Sweet Bye Rose" and Ann lilly"
 Mrs. Della Ritter's record of al- ways crossing the tape first on the local track was broken yesterday by Mrs. Robert Robins in the ladies' free-for-all three-eighth mile race, the latter taking first money through her horse Mike Mollette" making a sud den spurt in the last few yards after one of the closest ladies' races ever seen at the fair grounds. Mrs. Kit ter was riding "Arco." Mrs Ida Mar low who rode "Wayward," crossed the tape third
 Broncho busting was also feature of the program, Snakes Richards pulling leather while trying to ride Bill Stewart" which gave an ex- hibition of plunging, kicking and jumping that would be considered great during Frontier Days. Happy Hook attempted to ride Fluffy" but gave way to the whims of the steed who preferred to travel over the ground minus rider. Hook was thrown after a few jumps.
 The reverse race with two lads competing proved interesting and full Of amusement, the horses after having saddles turned to the rear on them becoming bewildered and wand ering down the first hundred yards of the track in a weird fashion. After the two horses got started they re fused to quit their race until they had nearly circled the track twice. A sack race, an auto tire race and 200yard dash furnished more comedy for the crowd. The last three races were for the younger boys.
