The lafternoon program of the track waa replete with untuning and thrilling moments llttlo momenta offtimci of the kind that indelibly Impress upon onu's memory. With alt the amusing and thrill Ing "dishes" on the afternoon "menu' only twice did the cloud of tragedy threaten to wipe out enjoyment. Dur ing tjio bucking contest a rider, mounted on a "bad hombrc," found that his mount wuu too much for him uflcr gamely sticking tho first lew seconds. The horse, in a snappy pitch, unbalanced the buckarou, who on the next bound wan thrown off but not free. His left foot became en tangled In tho stirrup and for a doz- en bounds, tho rider hung at the horses side by his foot. He was twice brushed agaliiHt tho fence but luckily suftered only slight injurlo none of major consequences. ' Again during the bucking contest, a rider was pinned beneath the liorso when the animal reared backward but fortunately was unhurt, rising with the mount and "finishing." Plenty Of Kntcrtaiiuuciit. Kntertalnment, both of a vaudeville and elrucs variety, kept otherwiso idle moments from dragging. To llyers, owner of pne of tho racing strings at the show, belongs a great share of credit. . Hyera was on hand with a pair of trained horses and two train ed dogs, who, among - their other tricks, demount rated a knowledge of mathematics of no mean quality con- Hiol.illB they wcr0 members of the tho take-off.

' Sea legs on horseback wero Illustrated success fully that would have made a grizzl ed Jack Tar turn green with envy. A pair of clowns, two Indian rop ers of ability, and the ever ready wit of Tom Johnson, announcer, kept the crowd on edgo during the remainder of the afternoon during intermissions between regular listed events. Lots Or Muckers. Plenty of mean nags were on hand to try tho skill of tho cowboys as sembled, to participate In the bucking contest. With the exception of the rider who so narrowly escaped serious injury, practically ull of tho rough riders conquered their mounts. Pro- Harthlioin, a mere youth, successfully stuck to Tru-Ulu, who did about every kind of siufG known to wild horses In attempts to unseat Hartshorn. A cowpunchcr with a splendid singing voice, a dancing horsu who foxtrotted to tho syncopated numbers furnished by the la Grande Munici pal Hand, and numcrouu other in teresting sidelights all contributed toward making the program on I. a Grande's day one of the best of Uiu show. Won Many Events at Union Were Difficult to Determine Prize Winners. It was no snap to act judKO yesler d ly afternoon at tho L'niun stock show because many of the contests were so close in merit that it would seem the wetpht ot the proverbial mosful(o would have turned tlx scale to the other side from which It reg istered.
