H i g h River Rodeo Committee has
a nice understanding w i t h the wea­therman
which assures clear skies
f c t the two*day celebration But
there was* a breakdown In t h i s re-lationahip
in the final minutes on
Wednesday night, whan a brisk
shower spattered down just aa the
presentation of trophies wss being
mads before the grandstand. This
called a halt t o t h i s interesting fea­ture
of the program. Those who did
not receive their special awards dt-icot
f r om the p l a t f o rm through the
hands of Guy Weadick. M.C, were
later contacted.
Ths second evening of Stampede
events brought the most sensational
feature of the two-day show when
Jack Streeter of Stavely won the
calf-branding challenge contest
against Bert Sheppard of H i g h Riv­er
i n 7 minutes 30 3-6 seconds. 8hep-pard's
time the previous evening
was 14 minutes 10 aeconds. I n t h is
t h r i l l i n g challenge contest Streeter
represented the Nanton Stampede
Association, and Sheppard the H i gh
Rover Rodeo Association. I n the
11M8 challenge contest Bert Shep­pard
won i n 7 minutes, 22 seconds,
heating Streeter'a time of 0 min-uiee
51 3-5 seconds.
Almost a breathless silence pre­vails
while this event is in progress.
Conditions of competition are aa
identical as can be made i n every
iespect. Each contestant and his
team of expert wranglers have 15
calves to rope out f r om the 15
mothers and brand Ths herds of
15 c o w i and 15 calves were f r om the
J im Wyatt ranch, a sturdy looking
outfit, and every second counted in
picking, roping and branding. The
Streeter performance on Wadn—
day evening was a real sensation.
The stock cutting contest on the
evening schedule was almost a* *en-sational.
There were different con­testants
each evening. On Tuesday
evening J im C a r t w r i g h t won admir­ing
applause for his notable perfor-rcance
with a beautifully trained
horse which he guided w i t h hacka-more.
He won first. Jack Streeter
second; Hal. Sears of Nanton t h i rd
end Sage of Mldnapore, f o u r th On
Wednesday evening the awards for
a fine exhibition went first to A l l ie
Streeter on his famous cutting
horse Keno; second to B e r t Shep­pard
of Longview; t h i r d to Wallace

Final placing in t h e t w o night per­formance
was J im C a r t w r i g h t first;
Jack Streeter second; Allie Streeter
t h i r d ; Sheppard fourth.
Chuck Wagon Races
The chuck wagon races are al­ways
a big drawing card of the
evening. On b o th nights the track
was Ideal for t h e eleven entriea r un
in four heats. Very fast time was
rrsde. On Tuesdsy night Higglns
of Aldersyde and the Buffalo Hills
outfit made the half-mile In 1 08 1-5.
This beat the time of J . J . Swain of
I n n i s f a i l who waa the IMS world
champion, and whose time Tuesday
night wss 1.11 4-5. On Wednesday
night the best time waa made by
the Buckhorn ranch and H l l l k e r o f
Red Willow who made It i n 1.08 3-5
On Wednesday evening additional
excitement waa provided when the
Buffalo H i l l s outfit came to g r i e f at
the start in f r o n t of the grandstand,
toppling the wagon and spilling the
driver. I t waa a repeat performance
of an Identical spill in last year's
race, same driver, same outfit. But
f< r t u n a t e l y t h i s year neither driver
r.or horses was injured and the
wagon was carried merrily half-
