a Sfandstand packed and overflow
! ing with thousands of school children
added to the usual audience, saw FIJI

which tie feature event was The Harry
l. Da" derby. Five fast hors IS came

lowered the Boise track record, fin
iching the one and one eighth mile in
! 1851 S-5. Kitty Canutt on Irwin's
Frosty Morning, was second, and Rip
! ieys Jake Schass placed third
During the derby, bombs and rock
cts hurtled into the sky FROM the field
ard bursting, filled the air with flags
attached to parachutes. Flags of all
he allied nations, singly and in strings,
and the Fed Cross banner, floated over
! tho track as the crowd stood and
cheered the riders in the Idaho clas-
sic.
At 3: Is o'clock Friday came the an
nual livestock parade, in which the
~ ize winning animals were led in re-
view before the grandstand.
Music for the day was furnished by
the Gooding 2d-piece band directed by
Mrs. Harry Padgham, and the Salt
Like Opera quintet. The latter sang
from a platform erected on the grand
stand side of the track. Their pro-
gram was made up of solos and duets
by the various members, and their ia
vorite choruses.
FOUR ACCIDENTS.
But all was not fair and lovely with
the afternoon program. Four acct
dents on the track married the smooth
procession of events, upset the racing
dope, and seriously threatened to de-
plcte the supply of buckaroos and cow
srls. Ruth Roach, wife of the bronco
| buster whose horse fell on him Thurs
/ day, suffered bad fall in the first race
of the day. Her mount, Skookum,
slipped ut the turn into the home
stretch in the half mile running race
and somersaulted. tossing her into the
dust and giving her some bad bruises
and cuts.
! Lloyd Gender was also the victim OF
| the Roach luck. In the cowboys buck
ing contest, he rode Lightning Creek
working in the place of Brian Roach
The gray took one plunge and then
TUNED a complete somersault with the
rider underneath. But Gender had
some luck of his own to go on, and in
stead of being picked up with a broken
back, he was on his feet as soon as he
could recover his breath A few mo-
n ents later, he walked out with his
saddle, cigaret in mouth, and complet-
cd his stunt by riding that gray bronc
tic a finish.
Kitty Canutt, famous cowgirl and
racing rider, figures in two falls She
slipped from her horses in the cow
girls Roman standing race, on the far
SIDE of the track, but bobbed up, in
sisting she was unhurt, and shortly
after took second money in the derby
Bad luck overlook her again in the
last race of the day, the girls relay.
she was getting away on the last lap
In second place, by virtue of a very
fast change when her saddle slipped
end she was thrown beneath her
hcrses's feet Announcement was
made soon after she was carried from
the track that no serious injury had
resulted, but at the very best she is
rnbably sore enough for one racing
sea- son.
