Chief Justice Chase, of States memory, was
SO remarkable q horsewoman. "She is the
most graceful and fearless rider 1 ever saw, I"
said Mrs. Cleveland.
"That is because she could ride before she
could talk" the other replied; and it was
the reason.
Senator Sprague lived at Narragansett
when the children were very young. He
had beautiful pasture not far from the
house with so or 60 Shetland ponies, graz
ing and running wild over the many acres
OF grass land. Ethel began when she was 5
years old to ride any of them. Without
saddle or bride she used to gallop around the
enclosure at the head of the whole process
sion like little gipsy. As she grew older
everybody in the country, near and far,
knew the pretty little horsew oman. She
could mount from the fence, or a stump, or
give a spring from the ground, clinging on
like small kitten, she was SO tiny.
No wonder, as young woman, she rides
with "such an air." and "has the seat of An
expert" At one time she used to ride q
handsome tall bay, given her by Senator
Fair and named "Star." A wicked fellow
to strangers "Star" was, but to his mistress
gentle and loving as human friend. She
often went into his handsome box stall and
groomed and saddled him herself
I recall her at q memorable 'Paper
Chase" given by the "Cross County Club"
The roads were in bad condition. Several
of the best riders fell out by the way. AS
they neared the el.d of the chase, the way
seemed impossible. from the bitches and
gullies and the swollen stony creeks. Rock
creek had risen high from the long rains.
The woods were heavy and branches broken.
Miss Sprague, on "Star," was in the lead.
Everyone called to her, "Take care, Miss
Ethelp' 'sDo take care, Miss Sprague,"
shouted those nearest to her. 'Look out
for that fallen treeP'
On plunged 'tStar" and his fearless mis-
tress. Her head struck the fallen branch,
but with a steady rein she guided 'Star"
through the thicket in safety, her head laid
on his glossy neck, and her hat and veil,
like Absalom's hair, caught in the tree.
The last ditch was jumped, and bareheaded,
scratched and dilapidated, the slim, girlish
figure dashed in sat the finish" A dozen
men sprang to escort the victor to the
breakfast room, where, flushed and merry,
she received from Mrs. Cleveland's hands
the prize.
