where the unexpected climax.
Roping the Long Horns.
Shot from the corral gate the Texas
long-horn dashes across the arena,
horse and roper 60 feet back. With
almost human intelligence the trained
cowpony. without word or touch from
his rider, follows every twist and turn
of the racing steer, anticipating his
movement until the lo..p lijaps out

swiftly and surely taVoigh the ac
settles uver the horns cii the spider
led. Then the cow-pony swerves to
one side, passes the steer as the hondo
slips and with a mighty lunKe turns
the steer over, or "busts'' hini.
No sooner has the rope tightened i
In the "bust" than the cowboy is out
of the saddle running towards the
thrown steer, leaving the cow-pony
to hold the ropetaut and see to it that
the steer does not ket up while the
roper hog-ties him.
While the lime limit is two min
utes, this feat is performed in from
;' to 3D seconds. j
Wild SttVr Bull-HokiSi. j
With his helper to flush the steer;
and keep it running at lop speed, the!
cowboy doing the bulldogging rides,

takes the steer's horns with both 1
hands, kicks his feet from the stir-j
riijis and drops to the ground. This,
must be done while both steer anil !
bulldogger are going at the highest '
possilrfe speed. The steer must be
brought to a full stop and thrown. A
keen, exciting, thrilling, spectacular
contest of strength between cowboy j
and wild steer. i
The maverick race' starts when the
steer is liushed from the corral. In
a wild stampede, with wide swirling.
swinging ropes, the cavalcade or

rope, -yelling and fighting for an op-,
