V/hi?e th? ?iead men are gathered iii a ?tt?e* knot, planning out the work, the others are dispersed over the plain- in every direction, racing, breaking rough j horses, or simply larking with one an ' other. If a man has au- especially bad1 horse, heuisuaily takes such an opportu? nity,- when he has plenty of time, to rider him; and while saddling he is surrounded* by- a crowd of most unsympathetic asso? ciates, who greet with uproarious mirth any misadventure. A- man- on a bucf?sg horse is- always considered fair game, every squeal and jump of the bronco being hailed with cheers of delighted irony'Tcr the rider and shouts to "stay '.with- him. V "The antics of a vicious bronco show in? mate-variety of detail but all are mod? eled-on one general plan. When the rope settles round- his neck the fight be ?itfs.'an*d it is only after much plunging" and snorting that a twist is taken over his nese.- or-else a haekamore-a species of severe-halter, usually made of plaited hail', -sh^meu on his head. While being' bridled lie strikes viciously with lits fore feet, and perhaps has to be blindfolded -or thrown ?down; and to get the saddle on him is quite as difficult.- "When sad? dled, he may get rid of his exuberant spirits by bucking under the saddle, or' may>~reserve all* Iiis energies- for the rider. In the lost case, the man, keeping tight holdv with his left hand of the check strap*, so as* to prevent the horse from getting }>is head down until he is fairly seated, ewings himself quickly into the saddle. Up rises the'bronco's back into : anarch; his head, tho ears laid straight back, goes down between his fore feet, "and. squealing savagely,, he makes a suc? cession of -rapid, stiff legged, jarring rbounde. Sometimes he is a ? -plunging" bucker, . who runs forward all the time while - bucking; or he may buck steadily in one place, or "sttnfish'''-that is, bring first one shoulder down almost to the ground and then 'the * other, or else he may j change ends while in the air. A first class rider-will sit throughout it all with? out moving from the saddle, quirting his horse all the time, though his hat may be jarred off his head and his revolver out of its sheath. After a few jumps, however, the average man grasps hold of thc hom of the saddle-the delighted on? lookers meanwhile earnestly advising him not to "go to leather'^-and is con? tented to-get through the affair in any shape provided he-can escape without be? ing thrown off.
