/ Miss Cook lost some time here by her
horse running by her attendants, 80 that
Miss Jewett made her change and got away
with some twelve lengths the best of 1t, which
Miss Cook reduced at the finish of the sixth
mile to about four lengths. Both ladies
changed at their stations, but Miss Cook
was away decidedly the quickest, and led
twelve lengths at the quarter. Again both
changed, and again Miss Cook was the quick
| est, securing lead of nearly quarter OF a
mile before the mile was finished, when both
changed ,Jewett this time being equally prompt
with Miss Cook, the latter advantage being
held to the finish. Again both changed, Miss
Jewett losing little in the transfer, giving
Miss Cook a lead of an eighth of q mile. Start
ing on the ninth mile Miss Cook changed to q
| fresh horse, Miss Jewett continuing on around,
but in doing so over estimated her horse, Miss
Cook increasing her lead to nearly or quite q
quarter of mile. In changing this time Miss
Cook was considerably slower than usual
while, Miss Jewett was unusually quick, so
that when the two were squared away on the
teahpnile the former lead had been reduced
to ABOUT an eighth of mile, which
mileA progressed, and Miss Cook
stopping to change, Miss Jewett took the
lead, The audience manifesting the gratlfica-
tion by cheering, clapping of hands and wav-
ing OF handkerchiefs.
Without q stop Miss Jewett continued
along for second mile, and though Miss
Cook made surprisingly quick change, she
gained lead of twelve lengths. With her
fresh horse, however, Miss Cook gradually
drew up on Miss Jewett and at the finish of
the mile was only some four lengths behind,
and not stopping for change she passed Miss
JeWett while she was changing, securing
lead of nearly an eighth of
a mile before the latter was under way,
a lead that was maintained to the finish.
While Miss Cook was changing Miss Jewett
came pand again passed to the front, and
cured lead of eight or ten lengths at the
quarter. Jewett's horse proved unequal to
the extra distance so that Miss Cook rapidly
overhauled her, getting on even terms with
her Just after passing the half, and taking the
lead on the back stretch, which was increased
to five lengths at the finish. Miss
Cook made no change and be-
fore Miss Jewett had made the transfer
had secured lead of quarter of a mile. Co.
ing along to the half it was evident to the
close observer that Miss Cooks horse was
giving out. Slowly but steadily, notwith-
stanaIng every effort of his rider, his speed
slaekened until he came to q dead stand still
about twelve rods from the finish. AS the
horse stopped Miss Cook quickly slipped from
her saddle to the ground, and as she did, the
horse Emma Dickson, fell over dead. Her at
tendants noticing the disaster. ran forward
quickly with another horse, but before the
had secured lead of some
twelve lengths, which she sought to
maintain by continuing along for two miles
without change. In this, she erred, how
ever, as her horse was unequal to the extra
exertion, and by the time the half was reached
Miss Cook had gotten on even terms with
her, and at the finish had secured a lead of
five lengths. Both ladies changed, Miss Cook
being much the quickest and securing lead
of ne-fifth of mile before Miss Jewett got
off. Going the mile Miss Jewett gained a
triffe, but stopping to change while
Miss Cook kept right along for her second
mile, she found herself when under way again
nearly half mile in the rear, a distance that
she could not materially reduce during the
mile. Making a quick change Miss Cook
started out for a last mile fully a quarter of a
mile in the lead Passing the grand stand it
waslnoticed that Miss Jewett's horse was la
boring badly, and it was only by great exer-
ton she could keep him moving to her
chaaging station. All this time Miss Cook
was increasing her lead, and Miss Jewett be-
ing so long making her change, it
began to be feared that Miss Jewett, seeing
that defeat was inevitable, had decided NOT
to ride the last mile: But this thought did
injustice to the plucky Minnesotiap, for just
after Miss Cook had passed the thrse quarters
she came out and took up the race, Miss Cook
continued at full speed, passed under the wire
winner, in the lead of Miss Jewett by about
three quarters of a mile in the remarkably fast
time Az minutes, including changes-the
fastest time ever made in such race by eques-
triennes Miss Jewett's time was 4SH minutes,
the time of Miss Cook last year, the time of
making changes not included. The fastest
mile was made in 1:57, and the slowest in 2:19.
The winner was greeted with tumultuous
applause, which was repeated again and again
as she rode back to the judges stand. Miss
Iewett was also enthusiastically cheered as
sne passed the stand to her changing position,
when she immediately entered a carriage and
was driven away to her residence.
Coming back to the stand Miss Cook was
assisted from her horse by her husband, who
showed his qualification at her splendid vic
tory by warmly embracing her and imprint
ing kiss on her mouth, a proceeding that
was Immediately followed by a lady friend in
attendance upon her, the brief osculatory
scene provoking perfect storm of applause.
After a brief rest in the ladies waiting room
Miss Cook was escorted by Col. King to the
jndges stand, and introducedto the audience,
which he followed by presenting her, on be-
half of the ladies of Minneapolis, beautiful
Wnlle saGln, SOlu eulDTOiuefeu pelI-a perfect
beauty-as testimonial of her victory.
The result of the race was no surprise to
anyone at all acquainted with the two con-
testants. Miss Cook is a most. accomplished
horsewoman. She is assisted by her husband
and others experienced in such races, and her
changes are quickly and safely made, and once
in the saddle, she sits her horse easily and
maintains steady control over his movements
greatly assisting him in his running. Then,
too, she is several pounds lighter than Miss
Jewett, fact that counts considerable in such
a race. Miss Jewett rode very plucky race,
but she lost time in her changes, and failed,
at times, to control her horse. In fact, for a
portion of the time' about the middle OF the
race, she seemed to have lost control
of herself, sit her horse heavily and
allowed him to 60 about as he pleased,
swerving from side to side of the track. How
ever, as said above, she rode a plucky race,
and her performance is one of which she can
