The ten mile equestrienne race between
Mrs. Stephens and Miss Myra Eckles was
suddenly robbed OF interest by an unpleas-
ant episode. At the end of the second
mile Mrs. Stephens tainted as she was
changing horses and was unable to ride
the remainder of the race. Miss Eckles
dashed on and completed the ten miles.
Each mile was made as follows: First,
2:O4; second, 2:29; third, 2:1O; fourth, 2:22;
fifth, 2:O5; sixth, 2:31; seventh, 2:01;
eighth, 2:04; ninth. 2:4o; tenth 6:25. Total.
1928.
The delay in the tenth mile was caused
by Misunderstanding on the part of Miss
Eckles, who stopped at the end of the
ninth mile, having been informed by one
of her assistants that it was the tenth.
Great merriment was caused after Mrs.
Stephens had tainted by seedy looking
individual who mounted bareback horse
and started after the daring rider to keep
her company.
