COWBOY CONTESTS.
PUBLIC FEELING AROUSED. QUESTIONS IN THE COMMONS. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received June 20, 11.40 a.m. LONDON, June 19. The public continue to throng the rodeo contests. Notwithstanding the elimination of steer-roping and a considerable agitation, which is fed by the casualties to competitors, steer-roping continued privately, when another was killed, having his neck broken, and a third broke a horn. In the House of Commons, Mr Henderson was closely questioned by objectors to steer-roping contests at Wembley, and said that not only the Society, for the Prevention of Cruelties to Animals, but the police, were applying for summonses in respect of a case of alleged cruelty. He had no power to prohibit such contests, but strongly requested the rodeo authorities to suspend steer-roping until the summonses had been disposed of.—Reuter.
