The buckaroo who attempted to
ride the buffalo was given a rough
ride for a few second! and was then
unseated. The two Jersey bulls also
unseated their riders without trouble
and great delight to 'the spectators.
The big red steer also dislodged his
rider amid an uproar from the grand
stand and bleachers. Sharkey the fa
mous Belgrade bull was not up to
standard. .....
Earl Patterson did not slay on top
so very long but he dung to the side
of the animal for more than the ten
seconds. He was not dislodged until
after a cowboy urged -the bull to
greater errors. When Patterson did
fall ho landed underneath the bull
and was seriously trampled.

Cowboy Has 2 lUb Broken.
The afternoon show opened wltn
an accident which waa hot, however,
due to the wet track. Earl Patterson
of Horsefield, Sas. Canada, was
thrown by Sharkey, the bucking Bel'
grade bull, and the ton-heavy brute
struck him on the chest a powerful
blow with his hind feet aa the rider
struck the ground. Two ribs were
broken and the lung penetrated. The
Red Cross hurried him to the emer
gency hospital, and from there he was
rushed to St. Anthony's. Before
being thrown, however, Patterson
