The Eqttestri1nes.
At the finish of the 2:32 class, the horses
were called for the twenty mile equestri-
enne match between Miss Emma Jewett,
of Minneapolis and Miss Myra Eckles, of
Mortified, for purse of $4,000. This
was by far the most interesting event of
the day and excited great enthusiasm
among the hackers of the two ladies.
The horses, eight each in number. are
mostly thoroughbred and nervy, carrying
themselves in fine style.
In the ''toss'' for choice of horses
this morning, Miss Jewett won
and accordinly selected as her first choice
Trouble" while 'Mets'' fell to EckIes.
When they had both selected their eight
horses each, the list stood as follows: Miss
Jewett, Trouble, Visitor, Blackbird, Crazy
Jane, White Stocking, Shelly, Minnie and
Star Gazer, while Miss Eckles had Nets,
Grey Goose, Red Bird, Buckskin, May,
Bay Billy, Nellie Yoafer and Grey Dick.
Miss Jewett was the first to mount and
made her appearance on the track ON
Blackbird beautiful and spirited animal.
She was received by the large audience
with prolonged applause and cheers and
evidently had many admirers and hackers
in the crowd. Miss Eckles was not far
behind her and very shortly appeared
mounted on Grey Goose.
Miss Jewett wore a neat, close fitting
habit with blue cap, while Miss Eckles was
attired entirely in black.
AT THE WORD co
both horses sprang forward and the two
ladies flew passed the first quarter pole
side by side. At the half-mile post Grey
Goose began to gain and at the end of the
first mile was fully fifty yards ahead of her
rival Miss Jewett changed horses, mount
ing Trouble, while Miss Eckels
continued on her second mile with
out change. Grey Goose travelled finely
maintaining his lead to the end of the
second second mile, when Miss Eckels
changed to a spirited bay, which carried
her full over her third mile
AT THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE
fourth mile both of the ladies mounted
fresh horses, Miss Eckles making the
change in II seconds, it took Miss Jewett
just 20 seconds. The fifth mile fresh steeds
were again selected by both ladies, Miss
Eckels, as before, gaining several seconds
over her rival in changing, fact which
made it at once evident to every one that
if Miss Jewett won it would be by the su-
periority of her horses and riding.
The fifth mile closed with both of the
ladies riding very nearly together.
They again mounted new horses, Miss
Eckles leaping into her saddle almost
without perciptible effort. But Miss
Jewett took twenty-five seconds. Miss
Eckles sent her horse two miles this time,
while Miss Jewett badly mounted came
home plying the whip vigorously.
She made a handsome change
and was off after Miss
Eckles who was now over quarter mile
in the lead, she having made her change
this time in only twelve seconds. The
audience sent up a shout of applause, and
Miss Eckles as she passed the grand stand
cried out keep still" Now Miss Jewett
mounts Trouble and sends him for all he
is worth, while Miss Eckles goes
spinning down the back stretch.
Trouble is a gamy animal and con-
siderably reduced the lap between the
racers. Miss Eckles starts the same ami
NAL on the second mile and Miss Jewett
sends Trouble again, gaining at every
jump. Miss Eckles' horse came near bolt
ing the track, but the plucky little woman
gave splendid exhibition of her horse
manship by maintaining her saddle and
getting the animal under way
again, finishing the mile in good style, and
taking Gray Goose in nine seconds.
Miss Jewett mounts blooded bay and
gains handsomely, coming home on the
eleventh mile with Miss Eckles about one
eighth mile in the lead.
Miss Jewett makes quick change and Is
off again after Miss Eckles, who is
something less than one-eight mile in
favor. Miss. Jewett's horse was good one.
He closed the laps and passes at the three
quarter post of the twelfth mile, and
comes home first. Miss Eckles makes
fine change, while Miss Jewetts change was
slow, taking twenty seconds, and
her rival goes flying on ahead.
The fourteenth mile was very close
one. In the fifteenth Miss Jewett gained
slightly, but in the following mile Miss
Eckles recovered the lead, maintaining 1t
by about 800 yards all around the track.
In the seventeenth mile Miss Eckels in
creased her lead and maintained it to the
end of the race. coming III nearly third
of mile ahead of Miss Jewett amidst
great applause. cheers and the widest en-
thusiasm. The time OF the race was forty
six minutes and twenty-nine seconds. very
fast time when the numerous changes are
considered.
