horses, came in as they are. Joyce
was up on Bonanza and Avery, rode
Tad.
Much interest was manifest when
the horses were brought on for the
ive-eighths mile free-for-all, as this
was the real race of the day. Finne-
gan, handsome big brown horse
owned by Murphy was piloted to vic
tory by Bob Feeney. Czardom, one
of the best looking ponies shown here
this celebration, was close second
He is owned by Grimes and Sutton
and was ridden by Grimes. scobeys
Frontier won third place.
The pony race, quarter mile, was a
nice race and the crowd gave round
after round of applause for the lads
who rode each horse to his limit.
Young Avery, up on Sugar, splendid
little nag owned by Scobey, came un-
der the wire a bare nose ahead of
Ted Mcdowell on Glory, owned by
Chas. Wright.
The Relay race for men, was very
thrilling and at the first lap seemed
to be Scobey's race. An unlucky
change however, put him back in
second place where he finished. This
event was won by Puett, who rode
Tom Mays string with Nc cCarty, third.
Between races the bucking events
were pulled off, one, two or three
horses being ridden, as time was had,
while the racers were being warmed
up. The boys up Tuesday afternoon
we're Tom Henderson, A. C. Judy, Jack
Joyce, Jack Linscott, Tom Yarberry,
H. Ashby, J. C. Hunt, Bill Brown, F.
C. Parks, and Red Cannon. Parks was
parked" by his horse. a large gray
boy, who put up spectacular exhi-
bition of @hogging" and soon unseat-
ed his rider.
The last event of the afternoon
was the wild horse race, which had
really too many entries, the horses
heing so numerous in the track that
two boys were run down and badly
tramped, though not seriously injured.
Orville Heck was the first COW boy
who could get one of the wild bronks
around the track and past the grand
stand. He was followed by Chas.
Wheeler and Don Gilmore was third.
The morning of the second day was
again started by parade and music
by the band. Charley Florer with his
take-of band afforded much amuse-
ment for the crowd on the streets be-
fore the parade. Their make-up and
selections were clever and worthy of
note.
The second afternoon the crowd was
much larger than on the first day and
the grand stands were pretty we'll
hiled when the judges called for the
hrst number on the program.
The first event of the afternoon per-
tormance was a saddle horse exhibi-
ton, thirteen horses were entered, all
OF them mighty handsome steeds, and
1t seemed to us hard matter for de-
cision. However, the good manners
and nice gait shown by Badly, big
red roam, owned and ridden by Clar-
ence Lehman, won for him the COW
eted honor Of being the best saddle

CATTLEMEN'S CELEBRA-
TION BIG SUCCESS
By Ruby E. Corum.

On Wednesday morning at nine
o'clock the Big Show for the Cattle
men was officially on.
A parade by the band was the first
feature and at ten the ball game was
called. The mines crossing bats were
the Somerset and Gunnison teams
One of the prettiest games of ball
ever staged in Gunnison was putson
and up until the last of the fifth in
ming no score was made on either
side. An error and wild throw on
the part of Gunnison player rather
ratified the team and they lost the
game, practically, in the sixth inning.
The final score was to A in favor
of Somerset.
In the afternoon the program start
ed off with calf roping contest.
There were plenty of entries and yet
more calves. The little fellows were
fat and husky and gave each cowboy
who caught one, run for his money
before he tied the ribbon around his
neck
A world of fun was afforded when
the milking contest came on. A pail,
two men and horse were allowed to
each wild COW. The bovines objected
strenuously to being ''pailed", but
several were pursuaded to be milked
and the fluid was taken to the grand
stand where it was carefully meas
ured. The guy with the most milk
in the pail was awarded the $500.
After the cows had been gathered
up and disposed of, the races began.
A lot Of good horses were entered, all
pretty evenly matched for speed, and
every race was ridden for all there
was in it. Perhaps not in many years
has there been a nicer lot of races
run than on Tuesday afternoon. The
winners in the various events were as
follows:
First race, Button, first; Outfielder,
I'd, and Vicky Van 3d. This was la
dies race and was pretty one and
ridden by three splendid girl riders.
Mrs. May rode Button to victory, COM
peting with Miss Vera McGinnis, not
ed trick rider. Mary Mckinley won
third honors on Geo Anderson's vicky
Van.
The second race, half mile free-for-
all was won by Jolly Sephus, owned
and ridden by Grimes. Travelling Kid
was second with Red Buck third.
The third race was strictly COW
horse race and was open only to as
sociation members A small black
horse. Jill, got away to a bad start,
but made one of the cleanest races of
the day apd came under the wire
with daylight between her and the
nearest horse following. She is owned
by Otto Mcdonald, who rode her.
In this race Cutter, owned and rid
den by Walker, took second money
and Frank Andrews Dal, with Leon
ard up, was third.
A free-for-all COW horse race was
the next number and was taken by
Button, owned by May and ridden By
