The best indication that the cowboy race
from Nebraska to Chicago is not destined to
be a performance to be proud of is William
F. Cody's indignant denial that he had anything
to do with originating it. If there
were anything creditable about it Cody would
doubtless be willing to reap some of the glory.
As it is, his only connection with it is his
offer of a prize of $500, not to the rider who
reaches the grounds first, but to the one who
brings his horses in in the best condition. --
