After seeing other "Wild West shows all pass the palm to Pendleton for thrills, excitement, originality and perfect organization. Finals Are -Today. The grand finals will be pulled off tomorrow afternoon, prizes and titles awarded, with the largeet crowd in the history of the Round-up.

Lola O'Neill, second; Josephine Robes, third. Here come two stagecoaches reeling down the track, each drawn by four f.ery horses. Both coaches are filled with cowboys shooting revolvers, and two expert whips compete. They are even on the first lap, but Jim Roach's four gain, they lead, and, in the last lap, outdistance Curly Johnson. Dignity was added to the day by the presence of Governor James Withy combe, who rode with President Til Taylor, of the Round-up, at the head of the procession that opened the pro gramme. The state's executive rode the prize $750 saddle. He was cheered during the period of the parade. One of the most daring rides of the day was executed by Princess Redbird, an Indian maid garbed in gorgeous colors and holding aloft a silk Ameri can flag, who successfully rode Nut cracker, setting the multitude into a wild state of appreciation. Five bands furnish music. First one plays, then another, each band being stationed at different points in the grandstand and bleachers. The bands are the Pendleton cowboys, Milton, La Grande, Athena and Weston. Cow Pony Race Exciting;. N The cow pony race, the first contest vent, was exciting. Roy Feebler, who led the first lap, was nosed out at the wire by Dick Martin by six . inches. Antone Guitress finished third, with a big field following. The cowboys' relay race for the world's charcpionship was Just as thrill ing as yesterday. When Allen Drum heller rode past the grandstand he was cheered by his thousands of admirers.

One steer was thrown completely over the fence by Charley Johnson, of Cheyenne, in the roping contest. The crowd hissed when he continued to try to tie the animal after its horn had been broken off. Girl Makes Daring Ride. Katie Wilkes made one of the spec tacular rides of the day on a broncho. She drew a bad actor in Buggs. but roae mm to a finish. No less excitement was caused when Buffalo Vernon, hero of many Round ups. In the roping contest, failed to throw his steer with his lariat, jump ing from his cow pony and bulldogging the longhorn after a terrific combat right in front of the main grandstand. All this occurred in 1:22 4-5. Dell Blanchett, another star perform er of past years, contributed his share or thrill when he was catapulted over the head of a steer after leap ing from his saddle pony to the back of the bovine. A daring red shirt was torn from his back in the performance, presumably by the steer's horn. Fred Spain, always a winner of a few wild western events at the Round up, bulldogged his steer in front of the main stand in 43 3-5, In spite of the fact that one of' his ribs was broken in the battle.

Ed Mccarty's time was 52 8-5 seconds. Frank Roach had hard luck and time was called on him.

For several seconds the horse and steer battled tied together, each trying to throw the otner. It ended in a draw and tne animals posed for a minute while the moving-picture man recorded the unusual contest. Sam J. Garrett, after considerable racing, tied his steer in 1:07 2-5 seconds Girl Relay Rider Thrown.
