The 1910 American Legion TO
dec was q success from every
view-the Legion reports a good
profit, the spectators were en-
thusiaStic about the fast action
and excitement, and many of
the cowboys left with good
sized checks.
Total attendance was between
five and six thousand, it was
stated. There were almost four
thousand cash customers the
second day, but cold weather
and threatening rain cut down
the attendance Saturday.
Gate receipts were within $25
Of the amount taken in last
year, 7. L. Dehnert stated. The.
exact amount of profit to the
Legion will not be known until
after all bills have been pre-
sented, he added.
Though more was paid for
stock and show features this
year, the management was able
to cut expenses in other de-
partmentS, it was pointed out.
Lonnie ALLEN, by virtue of his
wins in bulldogging went home
with high money. He was close
ly followed by Kid Fletcher and
Dan Wilder, who did well in
bareback bronc and brahma
riding; Jim Snively, who took
the finals prize in calf rop-
ing, and Bill Sievers and Nick
ey Hicks, who did a good Job
of sticking to the saddled
broncs.
A real crowd pleaser was
Benny Bender, whose antics
with the Brahma bulls and with
his mule, Hitler, provoked much
laughter. Just to prove that he
really knows a little about the
beasts, Benny rode a brahma
:, to the finish, and collected
| fourth money in the show for
:, doing it.
. Other featured, attractions
were Alice Greenough, world
champion lady bronc rider, the
? Viewer Brothers, trick and
fancy riding and roping ex-
= perts, and Lucky Robinson,
I roper.
