MRS LINDSAY FINISHES HER RIDE OF
EIGHT HUNDRED MILES ~ APPAR-
ENTLY GOOD CONDITION.

ENTITY GOOD CONDITION.
The performance completed yesterday morning
by Mrs. Jane Lindsay OF riding eight hundred miles
IN Of hours and IS minutes Will be considered Ivy
s)mo people as one 81 the most remarkable tests
Of endurance ever made Mrs Lindsay started on
her f0ohardy. rdi0lous and entirely prohtess trip
Oh Saturday morning ut $50 o'clock. and she fin
i-hed her grind Of eight hundred miles at Alb a. m
yesterday morning Those who think that Mrs
Lindsays record Will stand for many years are
probably mistaken. II may stand during the win
ter. for the reason that with cold weather ap-
preaching it might be difficult 10 get the atmos-
pherc and road conditions necessary for several
days AT a stretch
That some other woman equally plucky, fool
fish and careless az her health Will bob up next
spring and try TO Guido Mrs Lindsay IS almost
certain. There are several IN tie strict who are
confident that under similar conditions they VIII
not only be able ride eight continuous centuries
bur ten or a dozen The condition of Mrs Lindsay
at the finish yesterday surprised even h.r friends
She really looked In better physical condition than
she G!d sunday when she was finishing her
second century The fog mist and rain were trying
to the rider as well as % her pacewakers, but the
roads were never really muddy enough seriously %
hinder her. The statement Is made that Mrs
Lindsay rode the same wheel throughout The eight
centuries without Eish2p. This is probably true
ard probably trucr than the assertion that the
woman actually increased several pounds f. weight
in her long and painfully monotonous rde over the
triangular course between Valley Stream. Fosters
Meadows. Lyubrook and Hampstead
The fact that Mrs Lindsay finished IN much bet
ter condition than Oh Miss Yatman when the lat
ter made the seven hundred mile record for women
IS probably accounted for by the fact that Mrs
Lindsay had much better attention and care While
the local officials ~ the Century Road Club paid
attention officially to The ride made by Mrs Lind

ganlzation Will recognize the record. Mrs. Lindsay
