mounted on A. Kicks gelding, Frosty
Morning, won the five- furlongs running
race at the state fair Thursday after

B. Twins Rey Do finished third.
The prettiest and cleanest races
T; Thursday afternoon We're the mems
Roman standing race and the cowgirs'
| relay. In the former, Bunny Sterling
on his own pair and Strawberry Red
| on two Irwin ponies, came under the
| wire neck and neck. Sterling winning
by only a nose. If any person in the
grandstand kept his seat at this finish
he was cripple.
1t was a snappy program, full of
| surprises. The first one almost proved
a fatality. Brian Roach attempted an
| exhibition ride on horse announced
as Mayor Eagleson. 1t was a crazy
black from the Dry creek country, and
no sooner had he been released than he

made later that Roach had SUSTAINED

INTERESTING PROGRAM.
The only rider in the cowgirls' buck
| ing contest Thursday was Ruth Roach
on Rawlins Kid, a big boned, rangy
gray. And she rode him. the crowd
cheering as the animal made frantic,
| snorting efforts to unseat her. Five
cowboys rode buckers. Scoop Martin
subdued Gray Eagle, the wickedest
whirler and pitcher of the day; ].
Miller made nice running horse Of I,
B. Dam, roam of evil repute at PEN
dleton; and Bob Wiseman added to his
laurels by sticking to Rimrock, an
other evil gray. Gene Mckay had
fast ride on Lightning Creek, but the
crowd was quick to note that he
pulled leather" Lloyd Gender ended
the show on Corkscrew, who belied his
name by making a streak for the
other side of the oval.
Boise's municipal band was at It's
| best and gave an excellent program.
The Sale Lake Opera quintet gave sew
eral pleasing numbers. and Charles
Irwin, the big horseman, sang his AL
falfa Hay on horseback to the crowds
delight. When the quintet was pre-
pairing to sing the sextet from Lucia,
some intrepid buckaroo began to sad
die Mayor Bagleson, the horse that had
fallen backwards with Roach earlier
in the afternoon, but the judges de-
cided the crowd had had enough thrills
for one day and forbade the attempt.
