Probably the finest attraction to
be had in years at the Cody STAN
pede was the trick and fancy rop-
ing exhibition given by Johnnie
Judd, world famous roper and wild
west performer. Mr.. Judd gave
an exhibition each day and his york
with the rope was a marvel to
those who witnessed his stunts.
1t would be hard to give ample
credit to all those who played
such an important part in the three
days program. Will Richard as
president of the Stampede, and
John Fowler as vice-president, with
S. S. Kuentzel as secretary-treasur-
err have been kept on a high lope
for weeks getting things in readi-
ness for the big show. AS arena
director Monte Jones might be call
ed the "cat's whiskers' for he was
on the job every minute and kept
things going along in apple pie
order. Doing the heavies. although
not much in evidence from the
grandstand was Bob Rumsey and
his crew of efficient workers at
the bucking chutes. The horses
came out on time and no long
waits were incurred at the chutes.
Probably few knew who was
supervising the passing of the steers
but it was none other than j. N.
Langworthy, supervisor of the Sho-
shone forest. His work was well
and faithfully done, and he is con-
sidered a top hand" at the corral.
Judge P. w. Metz kept the spec
tators informed as to what was
going on as the official announcer,
and if he got a few of the Indian
names wrong it was because he
had too much confidence in the
racing judges. c. w. Bradford,
Fred Richard and Chas. Beldon.
A. J. Martin. Willard Hogan and
OFT Cassidy acted as judges of the
arena events, and hat they were
on the job at all times is evidenced
by their fair decisions.
Wolfville was a decided success
this a In the pavilion which
has been! enclosed as a guarantee
against rain and chilly weather
the Stampede crowds made merry
each evening, Dancers crowded the
floors and stayed late keeping time
to the music furnished by our own
Harrison's Orchestra. VIM. Lieb was
mayor of Wolfville this year and
ran the city in top shape.
Without Cody's band, the SIAM
pede would lack much of the pep
which it has. Concerts were played
forenoon and the band pro-
ceeded the parade to the fair
grounds, and furnished music which
made a decided hit during the pro-
gram. Again in the evening the
band gave a concert and started
things going at Wolfville. About
twenty local musicians belong to
this organization. and get away
from their business at Stampede
time at a considerable sacrifice.
1t is needless to say that their
work and talent is appreciated.
Below is briefly given the win
ners of the three day program.
