A cowboy and cowgirl quadrille, executed by four couples on horseback, twice during the performance easily proved to be the crowning achievement of the rodeo events. Game Thrills Crowd Considerable time was lost in the forenoon getting the ball game started as some sort of a mixup resulted in the presence of three teams, from Duchesne, Myton and Ft. Duchesne. On final arrangement a picked team, with two of Mytons players assisting seven from the Indian team, took the field to oppose Duchesne. Carman, pitching for Duchesne, fought a wonderful battle against the pick of the hitters from the other two teams, bolding them to 12 hits while Duchesne pounded out 10 hits off Murdock, the Indian twirler. Costly errors in Duchesnes fielding gave the Indians three runs in the third inning. A fourth was gleaned by them in the 4th inning and another in the 6th. Duchesne took one in the 2nd another in the 7th and two in the ninth, ending the game with a long fly to deep right field which was beautifully caught by Curray way back against the cars for the third out as Shelton was dashing across the plate for the run which would have tied the score. The game was thrilling from first to last, and any of the spechad tators who enjoy baseball their moneys worth from the game of the alone, without thought Balance of the celebration. Good Hiding Shown No winners of the rodeo events were announced, as they were not conducted on a competitive basis. Lee Barney on the Seager horse, Arbon Rich on Dirty Devil, Mormon Dick on Rainbow George, on and Mell Edwards Flying Coon made some of the best rides. Devils Death Wagon, a big strong black threw Roy Adams neatly over his head, landing him about ten feet in front after a complete somersault in the air. The plain quadrille, executed on four pairs of beautifully matched by ponies, to music furnished members of the Bridgeland CCC, showed hours of training, both on the parts of riders and animals. Mr. and Mrs. Van Cox, Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. Orson Anderson, Mrs. Grant Edwards, Mrs, Babe Rich and Mr. Harrison Russell, all of Nine Mile, were the couples on the horses. Complete success, both as an entertaining celebration, and as a financial venture was reported by the sponsors of the event. JUST TO REMIND YOU P. W. business meeting.

Ferron Elected Vice President of Central Assn. The Associated Civic Clubs of Eastern Utah, headed by their president, Fred C. Ferron of Roosevelt, held a meeting in the L. D. S. chapel at RoosevMt Monday evening, to discuss road conditions on Highway 40. Considerable discussion on the matter resulted in tha decision to appoint a delegation from the Basin, which leaves this morning to meet with tha Salt Lake City chamber of Commerce, and Governor .Henry II. Blood to urge the construction of a dustless road from Salt Lake City to the Colorado line. Delegates from the Civic bodies of the basin, representatives of business houses, and of the county commissions of the two counties make up the delegation.
