 Walter Cline, riding his own fast ponies, won the mile relay race Cline rode like made and changed his mounts and their equipment in record breaking time. Cline and his mounts also won the pony express race. Both cares were fast and close
 Bob Anderson, riding Pee Wee, was first in the day money in the bareback bronco riding contest. Pee Wee weaved around like a streak of greased lightning. but Bob stay ed by the ship. Doc Pardee, on a new bronco. came in for second honors. Wild Horse Hill stuck to Ioway without pulling leather and grabbed third money.
 Tn this event modest Bad Bill came to grief. Willyum started out on the back of Grey Eagle with tantalizing grin on his face. In fact. the grin was so tantalizing that Grey Eagle must have had eyes in the back of his head for he hopped around like tree toad. Bill stuck on about ten seconds. keeping his eyes on the pretty girls in the grand stand. and then he found himself sprawled out in the dirt, with sev- eral ounces of Yavapai real estatu endeavoring to crawl into his mouth and all of his former admirers giv- ing him the coarse horse laugh. And let it be said that Bill apprc- ciated the situation himself and also laughed Cotton Woodford allowed as how he would ride Blazer but Blazer allowed different and allow ed Cotton to stay on his back for just two snort, sweet jumps. Frank Mccoy started out on Tony and managed to stick. putting up a good exhibition.

 First day money in the worlds championship bronco riding contest was won by Doc Pardee, who gave up his job of announcing events and kidding the audience long enough to put the best exhibition of bronco riding during the celcbra- ton. Doc drew Zebo for his mount Tuesday night and he was ready for him yesterday. Zebo was feeling fine and gave an imitation of the siege of Verdun, a skyrocket, half a dozen rattlesnakes and a dynamite ex plosion, all at the same time, in his attempt to pitch the Doc. But the Doc was feeling fine also and stuck to the saddle without pulling leath CT. He allowed Zebo to pitch until the horse was almost all in. Then he drew him up and hopped off with out the assistance of punchers in the arena.
 Doc was evidently fred up at some thing for, as he dismounted, hcI shouted, Take that horse back now and don't anybody say l never leave mantracks on 'em."
 Frankie Thompson, who stayed on John Cantrell Tuesday. won second money yesterday, with Big Sid under him. Harry Crews was disqualified on Silver King but stuck to his sad dle on John Cantrell until after the pistol shot, and was awarded third place. Fourth money was given Bob Donnell. riding Pitch Fork, a horse that lived up to the first part of his name. Floyd Burmister, on Vinegar Roan; Yaqui Ordunez, on Hired Girl; s. l..

Robinson and John Frede-isks Freiericks, who won the medal last year, did not ride yesterday. He will ride two horses today.
