erous and cheerful donation of money
material, time and general interest
taken in the preparations for the big
day, the people of Roy have shown a

an honor to themselves and their

mittees we wish to heartily thank the
citizens who contributed in any way
towards making tho celebration the
grand success that is was.

Grand Success.
Larse Number of Pcopla from tho
Surrounding Counlry Take in
th3 Day's Program.
The Fourth of July in Roy was tru
ly a glorious one. The day opoLcd
-bright and clear.
Just a the first pale light appeared
in the east, the inhabitants of our
thriving town were awakened by the
thunderous roar of the morning sa
lute, followed by the sharp, clear
notes of a bugle.
All morning long, ranchmen and
farmers, with their families, came
driving in from the surround. ng coun
try within a radius of 30 miW ond
by noon the siretis were full of gala
attirod patriots.
Two beefs, generously furnished bv
the Roy Bros., had been barbequed
and were ready at noon.
. At 2:30, p m., A. S. Busksvitz, our
versatile announcer, called the first
raco that of ponies under 14 hands.
It was tha prettiest race of the day.
Under the experienced supervision of
Starter Evans, the swift little cow
ponies left the quarter-mile post with
a good, clean start arid sped around
the curve onto the straight-away with
scarce a head to spare between the
three leading horses. Win. Brumage
took first money with his horse Tom;
Mike Miller, second; Henry Farmer,
third.
The Burro Race was won by Pb'l
Miller, who displayed a clear head
and good judgment, especially in the
placing of his kicks and the use of hie
club.
In the kalf-mile race ior saddle
horsos, three entries were made. Dick
Carson's big and beautiful Grey, with
Jockey Phil Miller in the saddle, won
first money with apparent ease, al
though Wm. Brumage's horse Tom
was a pretty close second. Pat, F. A.
Roy's old time runner, was entered
on the spur of the moment and finish
ed a trong third.
In the 100-yard foot race, three en
tries were mae, Irwin Flocreheiiu
carrying off the purso with a dozen
feet to spare.
The Relay was the last and most
exciting of the races. Each entry re
quired three horses, tho rider making
the circuit three times, changing
horses each time at the starting pole.
The first premium was won by Mike
Miller, a well-known and experienced
horseman, with Tomas McGrath, sec
ond. The latter made a splendid run
but his first horse was outclassed and
ha was unable to close, up the gap.
The only dissappointment of the
day was tho failure of the Tucumcari
ball team to appear. ( They were un
able to .secure a special excursion to
Roy as had been promised. A short
j-nme was matched between tho local
players, which took up the balance of
the afternoon.
The grand display of fireworks in
the evening closed tho day's program.
It was the biggest and most succose
ful celebration ever held in Roy and
is a high complimeui to the push,,
progressivaess and patriotism of our
citizens.
The officials of the day were as fol
lows: Judges J. A. Wilson, Juan
Navarro, and Joe Ballard; Starter,
Dr. F. B. Evans; Announcer, A. S.
Bushkevitz Liarshall of the Day,
It. C. Crunk'.
