Cowboy Sports Unusual
An unusually fine cowboy sports
program was held during the after
noon, with the bull logging contest as
the most spectacular attraction. A
number Of exptrt men of the range
took part, and al lemerged from their
hazardous feats uninjured.
The chariot race was run, as usual,
and as usual the inside team won.
The Roman race, each man riding
standing up on two horses, was fea-
ture, as was the wild horse race in
which each entry had to rope, saddle
and ride one of herd of.wild horses.
This event provoked considerable
amusement, as some of the riders had
much difficulty in persuading their
wild mounts to so he right direction.
Bucking Contest Thrills
Nearly as dangerous as the bull
logging was the bucking contest. Re
lay and pony express races were also
included in the cowboy sports pro-
gram, as were bull tying and calf
tying contests. Miss Kitty Canutt
gave a daring performance as a lady
bronze rider, while Cheyenne Kiser
gave sensational exhibitions Of bare
back riding and bull riding.
/ Probably the most popular event
! Of the day was the performance Of
| Harry Walter of Sheridan. Wyo,
worlds champion trick and fancy
| rider. Walters, riding back and forth
/ before the grandstand at a full gal
/ lop, in rapid succession performed his
! stunts" of hanging by one knee from
/ the mounts neck, turning around and
! around in the saddle at high speed,
| passing around and in front OF the
| horses neck. and most daring of all,
ressing underneath the horses belly
/ from one side to the other, without
! touching the ground.
| Especially appealing in different
way was the performance OF the two
| high school horses owned and ridden
by H. S. Burnham of Boulder, Colo.
Both horses, one a splendid bay and
F., the other a dapple gray, were humanity
adept in dancing to the bands music,
as we'll as in performing other clever
| tricks.
All Exhibits Popular
While the race track and the infield
were the main centers of attraction
during the afternoon, the various ex-
hibits at the fair were popular and
throughout the day passenger carrying
| flights were made by the four COM
mercial planes, all of which were kept
fairly busy all day, and it was a rare
moment that less than two ships
were in the air at once.
One commercial plane made stunt
flight. carrying as passenger r. O.
Johnson, a 55-year- FOLD resident OF
Phoenix. The plane. under the con-
trolling hand Of Pilot Frank Clark
went through a numerous series OF
stunts, including double loop and an
appalling tail spin.
While Lieut. Ormer Locklear, super
aerial attraction, did not perform him
self. very pretty exhibition flights was
made by his two planes. Lieut. Lock
lear, whose feat of changing planes in
mid air is the unrivaled thriller OF the
fair, will not perform today either, as
his two remaining performances are
scheduled for tomorrow and Friday
His planes will give exhibitions to-
| day however
