HARD RIDING IN 7HE EAST
some Teats That Have Been Done by
Tartnrs
Fr1W N Ir'rlaI1H NUfs.

Prom he gr'resi0n Nsirs
During The last century when long
journeys, called riding posts, were much
in vogue IN Europe among the aristoc-
rocy and wealthy sporting men, a match
was made between Mr.. Shafts and Mr.
Mayweil for 1000 guineas, Mr. shafts
To- find @ man who would ride 100 miles
per day for tweuty-seven consecutive
days.
There was a great deal Of money bet
on this thing, principally against it
being done. II was well known, how
ever, that distances Of 500 to 200 or
even ] 500 miles had frequently been
covered al the rate Of from 100 10 100
or even $50 miles per diem, but the
knowing ones thought that the enOr.
nous distance of 9 GOO miles at 100 per
day would be likely to break any horse
man down Nevertheless, Mr.. John
Woodcock, who was selected 10 ride by
Mr. Shafts, performed the feat without
any extra fatigue or punishment lie
used thirty horses, and rode three OF
four of them each day
In Turkey the Sultan's mails and lis.
patches from outlying provinces used to
be carried by Tartars riding post, with
relays Of horses changed every twenty
OF thirty miles, and are now in some
parts Of the country where telegraph
has not been established. The same
man In charge went the whole distance.
These courlers would often perform
great feats Of endurance. From Bagdad
TO Constantinople is 600 miles, not
over level or rolling prairie, but fre.
quently crossing mountain ranges,
along precipices, across torrents, etc.
ard there Is not a mile Of made road
the whole way, yet the ordinary time
the TartaTs took TO perform the distance
was a fortnight, and on urgent occa-
sions II has been done In twelve days,
and even in eleven days.
There Is no doubt whatever about
this, because the route through
Asia Minor, from the Persian Gulf, was
in former days, before the Red Sea
route was established often used by
officers and others who did not mind
rough travel and were in a hurry to get
home or TO get out TO India, and they
often rode with the Tartars from end to
end, besides which the British Resident
at Bagdad, or rather the residencv, was
for more than a century In the habit of
transmitting dispatches from India to
Constanstinople and Europe by these
same carriers. AS much as 100 miles
per day has often been done for eight
or ten days by the Tartars. They only
rested four hours out Of twenty four,
and pushed on the rest Of time at rate
OF six 10 ten miles an hour.

ENJOYING HIMSELF.
PRESIDENTHARBIS0N HAVING A GOOD
TIME AT CRESS0N SPRINGS.
Curious Mountaineers A Druggist
WIN an Eye to self Intorest-A
Number OF BIus Approved.
Communicating with
the Treasury.

CREssoN SPRINGS, PA, Sept. 13-
A stiff breeze from the northwest with
clearing weather this morning rendered
the Presidents stay at the Springs more
desirable than it has been for the past
week. II has been storming every day
since his arrival and IL has been feared
that he would become restless and
shorten his vacation All such fears
have been abandoned now, and should
the weather continue ine next week
bids fair to be a very lively one for the
Executive family.
The members Of the family have all
passed through the wet season without
suffering any inconvenience, excepting
slight colds, and these have yielded
readily to the doctors prescriptions, In
his afternoon drive yesterday President
Harrison visited a house on the summit,
which Is kept by an old lady. a brief
stop was made and the prOprietress Of
the Inn, as Il Is termed, expressed
a great desire 10 see Mrs. Harrison,
whose photograph she has carefully
nailed against the wall. The President
promised to crafty the old lady by
driving Mrs. Harrison to the mountain
resort at the very first opportunity. The
President learned during his stay there
that the old lady was thoroughly "a
miliar with the art Of preparing a good
meal Of fried chicken and wailles, and
last night he recommended the repast
to some friends.
The mountaineers are a curious peo-
pie. During the Presidents soiourn
here he has made a number Of pur
chases at the little drug store near the
Mountain House. Hearing that the
Executive would probably leave the
mountains yesterday, Mr.. Druggist
made 1iligent inquiries as TO the truth
of the rumor, adding. "There Is a little
bill at the store TO be paid before he
leaves" No doubt the druggist i'm.
agined that II the President got away
be would have trouble in locating him
in order to present his little account for
settlement.
Miss Alice Sanger, the Presidents
stenographer, arrived here last night
with a batch Of executive work. which
was laid before the President after
breakfast this morning.
The principal part of business con-
sisted Of commissions TO be signed and
bills to be approved. Among the latter
was bill providing for the construction
Of a bridge across the Missouri River at
Lexington, Mo. The President
srent some time during the
morning In teegraphic confer.
ence with the Treasury Depart.
ment. He learned 10 his satisfaction
that the panicky feeling In the New
York money market had about sub
sided and that Secretary Window was
IN New York city and had the situation
thoroughly IN hand with a view to
meeting any immediate emergency
which might be relieved by Govern
mental action.
