for generations has been repre-

distance of over two hundred miles in
little under twelve hours. This per-
formance stands alone IS the longest
and fastest Journey ever made on the
same horse. Most of the long rides Of
which record exists have been made for
wagers; such records are therefore re-
liable
Squire Osbaldestore's undertaking to
ride two hundred miles in ten hours,
which he accomplished so successfully
on the 5th OF November, 1881, is one of
she most remarkable featS of endurance
IN the saddle, and has the merit of free
dom from cruelty. The squire rode his
changing his horse every fourth mile.
Four miles is a safe limit for such a
purpose, as that splendid horseman
knew. Three-mile laps could have been
covered ia time relatively little bet
ter, but a sound horse in fair training
could do his four miles without distress
in such time as to make that distance,
with the consequent reduction in the
number of changes. the most suitable
for the purpose. Mr. Osbaldestone used
sixteen horses for his task. and rode
standing in his stirrups like jockey,
while he kept his mount at best speed
from start TO finish of its four-mile heat
having quite ''set-to" with his pace
maker at the end OF each. The squire
was hard man, and in good training.
