Evening.

the Now Celebrated
Equestrienne.
But She Can Ride, No Matter If
They Do Say She is a Little
Crooked.

1iTS. Nellie Durhe, Oh Oildha, NcUrIS-
ka. accompanied by her manager, young
gentleman named Beards!sy, left the city
Friday evening for the west. A BAzors
representative met her during the after
noon and had quite IN Interesting chat,
during which she told a number of things
that will prove OF interest to the readers
OF THE paper published for The people now
On earth"
She is pheasant appearing little woman,
about thirty years of age, and can talk
equal TO any down easter. She has blue
eyes, light brown hair, and will weigh
probably one hundred and fifteen pounds.
Her visit To- Sedalia, she said, was for
the express purpose of Witnessing the
twenty mile contest between Misses Still
and Archer. She had met Miss Still on =
previous occasion, and considered her q
plucky little rider, but she had not the
physical strength to ride in twenty mile
races. She had never seen Miss Archer
until she rode at the park, and Of course
had not little curiosity to ascertain
something about her and witness her style
OF riding and how she handled her stee,i>.
She was not a little disappointed at the
result, a. she had expected to see the race
more closely contested.
Speaking of our Nellie, she said
she was undoubtedly possessed of a.
much nerve us any lady rider now before
the public, and with good horses would
vet astonish the sporting world She ex-
presses great admiration for MissOurie
young champion and hopes her future will
be bright.
She was then asked about her trouble
with old man Pinneo, father of Lizzie and
Emma, the Colorado equestrienneS.
"Why," said she, II guess YOU know it
all, for the BAzOO published a twO-eolumn
sensational article from the 81. Louis
Post Dispatch, in which the true inward
ness Of the affair was given
Then il is true that Pinneo has been
writing to associations throughout the
country trying to shut YOU out of races"
1T is, indeed Not only that, but be
has denounced me as an improper charac-
ter and gives that as his reason
Tor refusing to permit his daugh-
tiers to enter into further contracts with
me- Oh, he's an infamous old scoundrsi
and the truth is not in him.
and YOU really intended to hOrsewhip
him ut Cote Brilliante course in st. LOais?"
"pid L? Well, maybe you think
didn't. never intended anything more
in nv life. Don't you think he deserved
it?'
The reporter was bound to admit that ii
all she said was true that he did deserve
chastising.
"Do YOU vet intend to apply the cow
hide - asked the writer.
THAT depends III he attends strictly
to his own business, may let the matter
drop; but should he again say one word
against my character, l will hOrsewhip
him in public as sure Us my name IS Nell
lie Burke"
1.-THE stories he has told you deny, DO
you?"
Most emphatically, and where l am
known no one believes them. Ii is an
easy matter To say woman is unchaste,
but proving it is a different thing"
"How do the Pinneo girls ride"
"Well, they can ride, OF course; but
there are plenty of females who can dis
count them. Old Pinneo knows that
can defeat both of his daughters and that
is the reason he declines To have them ride
with me. Why, want nothing easier than
getting away with them
How about Misses Williams and
Cooke"
Either of those ladies can put ii all
over the Pinneo girls, in my Judgment :;
but neither Of them desire To contest with
me. am not afraid oi any OF them"
How does Miss Archer compare with
the four ladies spoken OF above:''
You need have no fears for your
Nellie: she can hold her own with any OK
them That girl will vet make her mark
She's no gutter; YOU can bet on that
''Iiow about the story that Bearlsley NJ
your lover us well rs manager, and that
you supper, hin?'
"Oi course support him. pay him a
salary for attending to my business and
that is all there is of it, want YOU to
state it, too"
1t was drawing near train time and a.
Mrs. Burke prepared to depart for the
depot the reporter babe her good day and
took his departure.
