The eight women wore short petticoats. 'X'hey started at
635 in the morning. By the twelfth round all but t

women were first in, and were received with the loudest...
shouts of joy by their townspeople. They had finish.escl_
the race at 8 o'clock in the evening, making the whole alio
tance, 109 miles, in 13 hours, and 25 minutes. One of t
.d
