Bucking Contest.

The weather man was exceedingly
good to the Power County Roundup
Association yesterday. A better day
could not well be imagined and large
first day crowd thoroughly enjoyed
what is considered the best program
ever presented here. Thep rogram ran
about fifteen minutes behind schedule
all the way through due to late start
but at no time was there a tiresome
delay. From the first pony race to the
conclusion of the chair race won by
Slim" Wager, there was not dull
moment
Noticeable to those who are famil-
lar with roundup history at American
Falls was the policing of the grounds.
There were very limited number in
the field inclosure and perfect order
was maintained in the grand stand
and bleachers. Nothing marred the
day from the spectators viewpoint.
Ida Glenn Flys Track.
The first thrill came at the conclu-
sion of the firts pony race when Ida
Glenn left the track with Kim Os-
borne up, aud bowled over w. L. New
ton announcer and G. M. Oliver, in
charge of the entries. Snip owned by
\ 10. Bryant and ridden by Launsberry
twas an easy winner in five starts. The
second pony race went to Scarpe own
ed by Jack CASTOR with Jones in the
saddle
Albion Boy ridden by Ivan Parks ran
a good second. These two horses with
Snip and Shimmie the E. p. Morris
horse would make a nice race. The
grandstand would like to see them
matched today1n the second race with
the others punched for the first
Louise Ruled Out.
Only two entries showed for the
girls pony race Snipe, Edmo owner
with Louise Edmo in the saddle won
from Idrect, ridden by Adabelle Gable.
Louise trailed in the dust around the
first turn, ran dead heat down the
far stretch and showed her rival the
dust in the home stretch. The crowd
was strong for this little Indian girl
who rides hard race, is modest and
sportsmanlike. Great disappointment
was registered when the judges re.
fused to allow her second money in
the Cowgirl's relay after she had beat
en- Adabelle Gable after a poor start
Gable was awarded second money
when the judges ruled that Louise had
whipped her rival horse over the head
Big Ora Takes Quarter.
The Battle Royal was called of
when the battlers failed to appear for
their bouts. The Quarter Mile event
followed with five entries, Jack Hits
Strawberry ridden by Petesen was the
favorite in the grandstand among the
amateur betters, but lost to Big Ora
by two lengths. A different start today
may reverse this order however as the
Entries are quite evenly matched. Bic
Ora was ridden by Fred Hunt, Flower
dew of Burley, owner. bE%
The Edmo and Pegbo strings fought
it out practically all the way for the
Indian Relay race. -Four strings wers
entered. Lavatta rode q beautiful race
and was seconded closely by Dewey
Bohipe.
Vamp Best In Hall.
Jack Allen essayed to ride the biz
bull between track events He haC
barely settled in the saddle when Mr.
Bull gave twist and a snort ,ani
shook his horns in Aliens face Of tht
ground. The cowboy that rides thil
bull will make a decided hit with this
grandstand.
The Vamp won host of admirini
friends when she handily won the hal
mile race from four entries. Her own
er N. A Dickey, is new to Power Coun
/, ty and Is justly proud of his little mare
which is about the trimmest piece o.
horse flesh ever seen at American
Falls. Her legs are no larger thar
those of doe and she is equally flee
footed. Ivan Parks rides her as light.
as a feather Inez, the Mclaughlin
mare ridden by Fred Hunt made {
game race but never had chance
from the start. Many betters favored
the Flowerdew horse but for some rea
son or other he failed to make thu
showing expected.
Geo. Williams failed to throw hii
steer and was followed by Dutch Seide
who took 40.5 seconds to accomplish
the task.

The Roman race was the pretties
event of the afternoon. When Bryan
