THE EQUESTRIENNES.
Yesterdays equestriennes were Little
Cricket" of Kentucky, and Myrtle Peek,
the Michigan girl" both of whom are
their steeds.
Myrtle Peek had selected to carry her in
the contest, Allie Baker, Panama, Lubrie,
kittie H., Big Indian, Centennial Maid
and Little Joe, all fine animals. Little
Cricket had an equal number of horses. all
thoroughbred fine steeds.
Little Cricket was handsomely dressed in
a blue habit, while Myrtle Peek wore
neat black suit.
While the track was being sprinkled
Myrtle Peek dashed up and down the
track upon handsome and spirited bay
thoroughbred, attracting the attention and
admiration of the audience.
Presently Cricket came upon the track
and mounted a handsome sorrel amid en-
thusiastic applause.
AT THE WORD ''Go!''
both animals sprang into the air and
dashed up the track side by side. At the
= mile Peek got the front, but Cricket was
close behind, coming up the hcme stretch
almost together, Cricket sending her horse
for the second mile, while Peek made bad
change. But she was splendidly mounted
and soon the gap began to lessen. Cricket
came home making the second mile with
her sorrel in fine style, hugging the inside
of the track, with Peek following
closely. Cricket now makes a
flying change and is off on a fresh
horse on even terms with Peek, who sends
her horse for the second mile. Cricket
takes a lead until she passes under the
| wire on her third mile 800 yards in advance.
On the back stretch of the fourth mile
Cricket showed One-fourth mile favor,
with the gap constantly widening. Crick-
| EFT sends her horse for three miles amid
| the shouts of the audience. Peek changes
| and Cricket makes a lead of three-eights
of mile. The horse made the third mile
beautifully, coming home apparently fresh
Peek sends the same horse again, while
Cricket makes lightning change
1t was now quite apparent that this would
be the quickest race ever made on the Min.
neapolis track. At thefbeginning of the
seventh mile Miss Peek took fiery Igray
who sprang into the air upon turning with
sufficient spirit to have thrown the best
rider, but the plucky little girl kept hel
saddle. This horse gained perceptibly al
every jump. and was sent for second
mile. Cricket makes another flying change
but Peek's horse cut down the laps until
it was considerably less than quarter
mile.
On the tenth mile both horses were re.
| tanned, and both horses showed wonderful
endurance and speed: In the eleventh mile
Peek again lost at least one-eighth of a
mile by slow changing: During the twelfth
mile Cricket maintained her lead increas-
ing the distance between herself and Peep
to three-eighths of mile, which by anoth-
er bad change of Peeks she increased to
One-half in the next mile, the thirteenth.
In the fourteenth, Peek made rapid and
excellent change, and considerably short
ened Crickett's lead. The fifteenth mile
was run without materially altering the
relative position of the two contestants.
| In the sixteenth mile Peek met with
what might have proved very serious ac-
cident, falling from her saddle as she was
| about to dismount almost directly under
her horses feet. A shout of horror and
apprehension went up from the audience,
who feared that she was seriously hurt, but
she quickly sprang to her feet and
| mounting fresh horse galloped away
! amid the shouts and cheers of all present.
| Plucky as she showed herself in this emer-
gency it was of no avail to win for her the
race, and it was from this time out evident
that nothing but an accident to Cricket
| could prevent her winning. The four fol-
