PENDLETON. Or.. Sept. 5. (Special.)
More elaborate, spectacular and
thrilling in every detail than any
of the world-famous previous exhibi
tions will be the fifth annual Round-Up
to Via staged SeDtember -4. -3 and -
Kxtenslve preparations have been made
for increasing the perfect-ness of the
exhibition and at the same time retain
ing its pure amateur spirit. More real
money has been put Into the purses
then ever given by any show of this
kind and more professional, high-class,
top-notch cowboys and cowgirls will be
seen In the non-competitive events than
ever herded together at any frontier
exhibition in the world.
These artiste are the real cowboys
ami cowgirls, not vaudeville actors, but
the ever rough-and-ready boys and
girls whose work has become so expert
that it is worth money to have them
perform for the entertainment of the
spectators. These stars are put In a
class by themselves and do not com
pete with the cowboys and cowgirls
from the ranges who make up the big
lists in the competitive events. The
Round-Up does not believe it is fair
to pay a man like Buffalo Vernon $1000
to do exhibition work and then let him
compete with the other boys for the
competitive purses and prizes. Cow
boys like Buffalo Vernon. Bee Ho Gray,
Sammy Garret. Chester Byers, Otto
Kline, Benny Corbett and Sid Seale
have won their spurs and their cham
pionships and must now give way to
those lower on the rungs of the range
land ladder of fame. They will be at
the Round-Up and will be in all the
doings" showing their marvelous dex
terity and ability but as paid perform
ers only.
In tne cowgirls' class will be as many
and more bright stars of the range
land Armament, such as Jane Bernoudy.

Ginnis. Bertha Blancett. Hazel Walker.

Hawn and many others. Jane Bernoudy
is the world's champion trick and fancy
roper. Tlllie Baldwin has won her
spurs in the bucking-horse riding: won
them again and again as a trick and
fancy rider, and this year Is entering
the new field of steer bull-dogging, and
if no other cowgirl appears to compete
with her she will bull-dog a steer every
afternoon at the Round-Up as an exhi
bition pure and simple. She is one of
the most popular little cowgirls ever
appearing at the Round-Up.
In the competitive events there have
been thrown open to the world three
thrilling contests. The first is the cowgirls-
bucking contest. Heretofore this
has been more of an exhibition than
anything else, as the management con
sidered it inadvisable to throw the event
open and permit any and all girls to
ride, for fear that some over-confident
cowgirls would get thrown higher than
a kite and get all mussed up in the fall.
A cowgirl doesn't look exceptionally
beautiful or graceful hurtling through
the air, thrown from the hurricane deck
of a bucking bronc, and the audience
doesn't seem to take to such sport with
the same enthusiasm as it manuesis
when a cowboy lanes a nyer iroui uiiin
Tom. But the cowgirls just positively
demanded an open contest this year,
and the management, which is com
posed of mere men. finally gave in. So
all that is required of a cowgirl, who
wants to ride in that event this year, ia
that she have a pair of spurs and a hat.
The other two thrillers are the cow
girls' steer roplnr contest end the cow
girls' standing Roman race. The puree
