err knowing such thing as fear. If
there was a risky colt in the neigh
borhood to be broken, Miss White
was the first one to mount it and a.
ways with success, never being unseat-
ed. She has a little brother now
nine years old and sister five years
old, both of whom ride regularly and
exhibit fondness for the exercise.
For the last five years Miss White
has been at home but little. The
whole of that time she has devoted
her attention to horses and has made
business of breaking and training
horses. She guarantees to break any
horse and makes a speciality OF training
horses for the race track. She spent
SIX months last winter and spring ON
stock farm near Beloit, Kansas, train
ing speed horses for racing.
Miss White has never been beaten
in a race. Four years ago, when on
ly sixteen years of age, she rode an
interstate race at Kansas City and
won it.
In conversation with a BAzoo rep
resentative. she said: Il am conf
dent | will win this twenty-mile race.
| have no misgivings on the matter,
whatever. know my own strength
and endurance and just what | can do.
| am also acquainted with my oppon-
ent in the race, and know about wha
her capacity is. She is larger and
stouter than | am, but is not as en-.
during. She weighs 30 or 40 pounds
more than | do, which is great point
in racing. If our horses are evenly
matched, 1 will win on account of
weighing less. There was race in
England a few years ago, in which the
horses were evenly matched, and the
race was won by difference of weight
between the riders, amounting to the
weight Of a small door key. My
horses will be the best to be had any
where, and will not be
inferior to anybody's horses.
My horses will all be imported Ken
lucky thoroughbreds of great speed
and endurance. and [ will have at
least ten. / will not ride one horse
over two miles, as | will 60 at full
speed the entire time. My horses
will all be saddled and in waiting for
me. 1t will not take me over three
seconds to make a change. You may
tell all the Sedalia boys to save up all
their money and bet it on me. They
will be safe in doing so"
Miss White has been here about
two weeks. She stops at Sicher's park
hotel and is in thorough course of
training for her desperate ride. She
rides ten miles every morning and ten
miles every afternoon. She generally
rides at the fair grounds but occasion
ally comes down town for short gal
lop. Besides her daily rides, she walks
FIVE miles every day and practices one
hour daily with iron dumb bells. She
is in the best of health and spirits.
She is small but has wonderful ply
steal strength in her lungs and arms.
The way she swings dumb bells makes
reporter vince. She also practices
occasionally on a trapezs and can
show some wonderful feats of strength
in that way.

A representative of the BAzoo
visited the fair grounds yesterday
morning and viewed her morning ride.
She proceeded to the stables after
breakfast, looked after her horses,
patted them, saw that they were
properly saddled, examining, herself,
everv buckle of the saddle and bride.
Donned in a neatly fitting fatigue
riding habit, she then mounted horse
with a graceful leap and galloped
away into the ring. She first gave
some pretty exhibitions of fancy rid.

speed. She twice changed horses 10
