GILMER, UPSHUR COUNT 'OBt TEXAS> FRIDAY, JuSi^s, 1943
Patsy Warren Gives
Splendid Ride At
Gladewater Rodeo
Gilmer visitors at the Glade-
water Rodeo Thursday evening
thrilled with the splendid horse-
manship and sportsmanship ex-
hibited by Gilmer’s representative
to the Rodeo, Miss Patsy Warren,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Danily
Warren.
One of the most interesting and
exciting events bn a thrilling pro-
gram was the “Musical Chairs
Race” put on by the visiting girls
who represented their home towns
at the rodeo. There were about
12 or 15 entries representing, Gil-
mer, Longview, Pittsburg, Nacog-
doches and other East Texas towns.
The girls were introduced to the
audience as they rode into the
arena and then circled the ring.
In the center of the arena chairs
were placed about forty feet
apart with one less chair than
girls entered in the race. The
principal was the same as the old
fashioned circle, while the music
played and when it stopped they
dismounted and without letting go
the bridal rein grabbed a chair
and sat down until the music start-
ed again at which time the race
started over. The one who failed
to get a chair was eliminated from
the race each round.
Patsy won second place in this
race by being the next to last
girl eliminated, and she won this
place in spite of several bad
breaks and slow starts. Rules of
the race were that you could not
turn back or cut across the ring.
Several other girls in the contest
had the good fortune for the music
to stop when they were close to a
chair, but invariably Patsy would
be in a position where she had to
ride almost around the ring and
race ' someone else for an empty
chair. Her mount was fast and
firey and showed up splendidly
in the, racing, but on the other
hand hd was difficult to remount
and —^^rT~~fcvery *
round ofj/ with a handicap be-
cause of slow remounting. Noth-
ing daunted" her however, and be-
fore the race was over she had
won ahe favor of the audience
who admired her tenacity, sports-
manship and good riding, and
cheering and pulling for her when-
ever she had to race for a chair.
The “Musical Chairs,” contest
was just one of the thrilling events
