v4 ing sky heat of the day, the first day opening event got under way. The crowd was a picturesque one. Old time westerners, who had seen western sports many times, were the most enthusiastic in the crowd. Hast- erners, with their mouths so wide open you could see thelr adenolds, formed a large part of the crowd. The American Legion band and Hank Keenan were the chief amuse- ment purveyors as the crowd filed slowly into the stands. ‘The Arapahoe Indians in full war paint and regalia, opened the show with their stampede show. The In- dians were given a great hand by the crowd.

The opening was-delayed an hour by showers which made the track slippery but the delay did not seem eee the good humor of the wd. Hank Keenan, the clown and the American Legion band worked }* nara to keep up the enthusinsm and * arew a lot of applause. Starting with a parade at a gallop past the grandstand of all the contest hands, followed by the Arapahoe In- ians, 75 strong and in thelr full war paint and regalia, the chutes opened simultaneously and out came five bareback riders and two wild steers. ‘The Casper Rodeo for 1923 was open. Indian Joe Davis clad in a blue sweater striped with yellow, and vio- lently colored chaps, made the best ride of the day, sticking on his wild steer until he tired the animal out. Indian Joe and Hank Keenan later came out with their ropes and showed the latest in trick and fancy roping. “Mr, Gallagher and Mr. Sheehan,” by the band, followed by “Wyoming Days/” made a hit with the crowd.

There were approximately 4,000 people in the stands when the Bucking horses, long horned Mexican steers, cowboys and picturesque regalia, sputtering motorcycles of an aeroplane, all contributed to making the opening day of the 1928 Casper Rodeo a big afternoon. The crowd, esti- mated at 8,000, was even larger than the management ex- tions.

Mylo Urie, who won the free-for-all race Wednesday, again stepped home in front this afternoon, by five lengths over the rest of the field. Hamilton, the jockey, rode a pretty race and held it in his lap. He beat Tiger Jim, who finished second, largely by a good ride. Molly Mc- Guire finished third. The time was 353. The only casualty up'to 8 o'clock this afternoon occurred when Harry Robbins was riding Dynamite.
