COWBOY KINGS
RIDE BULLS
At RQDEO
CALIFORNIA; Twelfth Annual
Show Opens Today, With
Big Crowd Present.
BY International News Service.

SALINAS, Cal, Julyy 18.-"Buck.
in brons and rarin', pitchin', balm
bulls" together with the cowboys
and bronco busters who will tame
them, were the center of attraction
here today, when California's twelfth
annual Rodeo and Salinas big week
opened, to continue until next sun
day, July %.
Upward of 100 man-bating tulls
will be ridden, hundreds of wild
horses will be conquered, and all
the sports and games and festivities
of Spanish California will be In
dulged. The California rodeo, held
each year in Salinas in July, is a.
development of the rodeos held Tor
more than one hundred years on the
estates Of the early California Span
ish and Mexican families. Combin-
ing business with pleasure, the ro-
deos lasted sometimes a week, some
times two.
Old Spanish Fete. =
The hidalgos, with following OF
picked vaqueres and their remudas
of blooded saddle horses, would as
semble at a certain ranch, round up
the cattle from the neighboring hills,
drive them into great corral, rope
and throw them, brand and ear-mark
them and apportion them among the
various owners, then drive them
away to their respective holdings. q
Every bodied man assisted in
the serious. often dangerous, ''usl-
ness of working the cattle. The
evenings during the rodeo were. given
over to dancing and feasting. Steers
6nV L lie
tillas baked on bot stones, frijoles,
enchiladas and tamales prepared, and
all washed down with vino colorado
or aguardiente.
The fiesta was followed by dane
ing, and, to the clicking of the cas-
tanets and the tinkle of mandolin
and guitar, don and duenna and the
men and women and young people
of their haciendas danced the fan
dango, the Jota Manzanillo, cachucha
and Valses.
Custom Preserved.
This custom and all the gayety
and grace and beauty Of early Cali
fornia are preserved and exempli-
fled to the world in the California
rodeo and Salinas big week. The
wild horse races, bronco busting,
bull riding, bull batting and other
features are thrilling and often ex-
tremely dangerous. Horses that
never have known the feel even of
halter or restraining rope, GCur-
year-old bulls that have been mon
archs in their own domain and are
peeved and provoked when cowboys
assail their dignity and attempt to
ride them never submit without a
terrific battle. The air is filled with
the yipping OF cowboys, the blare of
brass bands. the cheering of the null
titude as skillful riders stick to the
saddle despite the bucking, kicking
and rolling Of Infatuated outlaws.
1t is great spectacle, a great
sport, and from the Sur to the San
Carpojo, from the Moro Colo to Mil
pitas the cowboys and cowgirls of
this great cow country are here for
the event of the year.
