second day was the bucking bull, own
ed by Mike Mullaly, which succeeded
in unseating three riders in rapid
succession. All three entrants en-
deavored to ride him cowboy fash
ion for which a purse of 5000 was Of
fered to the winner.

near champion of the Pendleton

former She brought down applause
after applause with her trick riding
and adeptness at mounting and dis
mounting in the relay events. How
ever, all the cowgirls demonstrated
abilities in the saddle.

the role of the drunken rider, enacted
the stellar part for spectacular rid
ing among the cowboys. Swinging
from side to side, he stood in the sad

out the aid of the bride. 1t was the
most daring ride of the day.
