"German troopa were attacking the

an effort to raise thla and prevent the

"The main chain of our defenses

III STEER ROPII THIS IDS
Half a grandotandful of people,
mostly men, witnessed the morning
elimination contests at the park and
they saw a good show for their money.
Forty bucking horses were ridden,
sixteen steers roped and nine others
bulldogged. A wild horse race gave
a fitting finish to the show which
lasted from 9 o'clock until almost
Won.
Mont of the horses ridden were sec
ond string buckers a:id consequently
few of the riders were made to bite
the dust. Only a few strong rides
were made, however, one of these be
ing by John Spain the crippled cham
pion of 1911. Hal Plersol. an Athena
boy who had Injured one foot In a
tryout, put up a good ride as did V.
Steele of Montana. Art Senle caught
the favor of the grandstand by' a ride
that was up to standard form.
Tommy Grimes put himself well In
the lead for the roping championship
when he downed and tied his steer In
27 seconds. Jim Roach of this city,
who twice won the championship, la
second place man to date, having
roped and tied his steer this morning
under the minute mark.
The steer roping this morning again
proved that the best bunch of ropers
In the country are entered In the con
tests this year. Only two or three
failed to catch their steer and gener

than poor work,

The clock-like regularity with which

Bulldogging.
John Thomas, Indian, was the first
to take the track. He caught his
steer on the back stretch, tripping It
as he caught It. According to the
rules, he was forced to let It up and
throw it again. His total time was
1.01.
Frank Cable chased his steer clear
around the track before he could
catch It. He threw It In short order
but his time was poor, 1:47 1-2.
Juan Montano's 'steer dodged his'
horse and turned back up the track,
thus delaying the catch. His time
was 1:00 3-4.
Amos Canutt'8 steer was also a
dodger and he never caught htm until
he had made the circuit. Time 1:10.
H. M. Mathews also made the cir
cuit but got his steer In 1.05 1-2.
It took C. E, Runyan 1 minute and
25 1-2 seconds to get his steer down.
O. S. Seidell drew a fence Jumper,
the animal leaping Into the arena and
out and trying to dash through the
wire fences to the bleachers. He fin

steer within the two minute limit.

Charles Wellington Furlong,
Made Sensational Ride of
Weather Ideal for
With a nazy maze hanging over the
arena and the sultry atmosphere
threatening a thunder shower, the
second afternoon of the fifth Round
up is progressing in a rapid series o"
thrilling climaxes and ante-climaxes.
The crowd that is watching the pro
gram with mixed emotions Is consid
erably larger than waa present on the
opening day, there being probably 16.
000 or 18,000 people In the grand
stand and bleachers.
Aa a true index to that which was
to come, the performance opened
with a troupe of wildly dashing cow
boys in the always-exciting cowpony
race and the equally-exciting squaw
race in which the dusky maidens with
their colored turbans flapping in the
breeze, whipped their little cultans to
their utmost 'efforts followed close on
its heels.
Turning the tide of the spectators
spirits from excitement to hilarious
amusement almost instantly, the
Round-up'a bucking bulls proceeded to
dispose of their human loads with a
thoroughness that tickled all. But
without realizing It, the crowd almost
saw some history made and unusual
history at that when Charles Welling'
ton Furlong, noted Boston writer, ar
tist and experimenter In new sensa
tions, mounted Sharkey, the cham
pion of all bucking bulls to ride whom
ten seconds means $100 to any man
or woman. Never before was Sharkey
so nearly ridden. As If conscious of
the fact that he had a man of nation.
al renown on his back, the big Bel
grade bull stopped bucking after the
first three jumps. And the seconds
ticked away with Furlong still In the
saddle. It was a mean trick that
kept the representative of Harper's
and Outing from these 100 big dol
lars. Some fractious cowboy kicked
Sharkey In the stern and he resented
It with .a mighty upheaval that pro
jected Furlong Into empty space.
The mounted parade of the hun
dreds of cowboys, cowgirls and Indi
ans again stirred the crowd Into rap
tures and, truly, it was a picture that
could but delight the most prosaic
eye. Passing In review before the
grandstand, the picturesque citizens
of the plains and prairies made a ka
ledloscoplc riot of color such as can
be seen nowhere else In America.
These relay races this year are peer
less in their kind and the crowd Is
crazy about them. A neck and neck
finish today between E. A. Arm
strong and Braden Gerking with the
former a nose ahead threw the audi-
i ence into a frenzy of cheering. Allen
Drumheller,
who made best time in
the event yesterday, was unable to get
