who witness her performance at the track
will admit that the result fully ~iustiies the
outlay. The lady has acquired an extra.
ordinary command over her horses, whose
training is as nearly perfect as can be.
One OF the ieats OF her repertoire is a race in
which she rides her horse Regal against
Long View, an animal valued at 50, 900,
who goes through the race riderless but
eompetcs as cleverly as though he had q
rider to guide him. At the conclusion of
the race he turns round and comes back to

until the result is announced.
Another feat she performs is the daring
one Of standing on two horses with one
foot on each horses back, the horses at
the time running at q two-minute gait. In
this Miss Peek rode Ghost and
Blue String at Providence, R. l., May 80,
