Arizona republican., 1920-11-13

from the ground the balloon hung sus- pended for a few moments and then settled slowly upon the earth: h. stead of the canonball event a para chute thriller in which the aerialist dropped successively from five differ ent parachutes was staged for the crowd.
 In the interims between the main racing events features of all sorts tails in crooked angles and raced be- fore cowboys with whirling ropes until the moose settled and hog tie" rem dered them helpless. Outlaws of the range burst from the stockade with yelling busters" astride their hurri- cane decks, flashing them with broad brimmed hats and running the rowels along their sides in the most ap- proved range methods while the mounts twisted and arched, leaped and landed stiff-legged, and in general, did all that an outlaw is supposed to do when he feels the saddle for the first time.
 Fast Race Program.
 A wrestling bear and his trainer rolled and struggled on a mat, Bruin apparently figuring out the holds with the same sagacity as his human op- ponent and finally putting that gen n- tlemans shoulders to the mat with what appeared ridiculous ease. Johnn- nie Judd, who halls from Cleveland Okla, and who carries the title of worlds champion rope manipulator made a whirling loop go through in- numerable fantastic convolutions ! lariating a galloping horse with un- erring accuracy from a dozen differ ent positions and even catching it by kicking the loop at it as it flashed by And over the changing panorama ot the field, aviators looped and zoomed and dipped and fell and caught them | selves again until all the repertoire O. flying tricks had been gone througf again, and when the audience looked to earth again it was to watch th' start of race or to see laughing COW
 puncher spurring a wild-eyed stee down the race course.
 Then there were the races, consti
 tuting the best program of the faiI One local track record broken, an
 other perhaps smashed just as badly and the time of 1:46a for a mile an'
 one- sixteenth made in the Governor
 Derby, gave plenty of reason to tn
 crowd to turn itself loose in enthuS
 iastic concentration of the day.
 The broken record was the resul of the third race, one-quarter mile open, when Lady Mack, owned by (
 B. Irwin, stepped the distance in 22i
 seconds. This is the best time which the distance was ever made o the state fair track, and opinion ha
 1t yesterday that 1t would likely stan for some time to come.
 Immediately following this even
 Joe Blair, owned by c. A. Norvell. an with the reputation of having broke
 more western records than any otht horse, ran a half-mile in 48K second which is thought to be a record her This opinion, however, could not | substantiated yesterday. In passinl 1t is remarked that Joe Blair is de
 clared to be the greatest of quarter milers.
 All in all, it was a great day-with
 great crowd to appreciate 1t and great race to end it. The track event which had been consistently wort while during the meet, had fittir
 continuation in the victory of Freedor and the flowery necklace that he wol to the stables was a tribute of appr,
 citation not only from those who place 1t about his neck, but from all of u thousands who saw his triumphal finish.
