Next comes the Spanish game of "colgar," picking up ten-dollar gold pieces from the saddle, the horse at full speed.

And the gymkhana race ends the games.

Those who enter, saddle at the word "go," open an umbrella, and, taking out a cigar, light and smoke it--then see who first rides to the goal.
Last came the real _vaqueros_, and they ride untamed, unbroken horses, after a long and rather painful struggle to mount.

They lasso mustangs and do wonderful things.
