start from Durango at 8 O'clock,
and, barring accidents, within from
2;IS to 2:4s was figured to be the
time that would be required TO
make the ride Finally, at about
Io:3s, Durango time, horsemen
who had been sent up the road to
report the FIRST glimpse Of the cy
clists came tearing down the street
with the cry. They re coming y
and ia a couple Of minutes Johnny

and shouts Of the crowd he dashed
up to the court house with the
