# ORE A How would you like to earn $1,899,576.00 for an hour’s work? Or, how about $31,659.60 a minute? Or, maybe you'd settle for a paltry $527.66 a second. Well, the latter is not only possible, but it happened at Madison Square Garden rodeo in August, 1974, the bull riding winner won $4,221 for his eight second ride. If you multiply that by the proper figure you will find that this would be an hourly income of $1,899.576. No other sport pays that kind of money by the second. And cowboys competing at the 3rd Annual Back Mountain Kiwanis Club Rodeo on May 17th and 18th will trying for over $5,000. The rodeo starts promptly at 7 p.m. On Saturday night and 2 p.m. on Sunday. Some cowboys are going to work a very short while for a very large check. And, then some are going to work pretty hard for no check at all. Cowboys that work the shortest period of time during this rodeo could earn the most money, like $400 or more per second. Lake-Lehman boys track team defeated Hanover 98-52, on Thursday afternoon.
