MRS. LINDSAY'S TASK.
Has Eclipsed Miss Yatman's Recent
Long Ride on a Wheel.

Mrs. Jane Lindsay of Brooklyn finished
her seventh consecutive hundred miles on a
wheel yesterday near Valley Stream, L. L,
at Pop o'clock in the afternoon, after she
had been in the saddle almost continuously
for seventy-eight hours and twenty-five
minutes. She was then unquestiOnably in
better physical condition than at any time
since the completion of the second century
of her record ride.
So strong and We'll was she, indeed, that
not satisfied with having eclipsed Miss Jane
Yatman's seven-century record by two hours
and forty-three minutes, she started out,
after a short rest, to add one and possibly
three more centuries. to the mileage mark
she had already established. Her eighth
century was begun at 4:59 o'clock, and at
10 o'clock last night she was rapidly near
ing 40 miles on the twenty mile triangular
course of the Century Road Club on Long
Island.
For her astonishing recuperation. which
has been the most sensational feature of
the performance, Mrs. Lindsay is chiefly in
debted to Mrs. J. NJ. Vankleeck, herself
century rider of note. who by her attention
to Mrs. Lindsay made it possible for the
latter to acquire the records she now holds

Yatman rode 100 miles in eight-one hours
and five minutes; Mrs. Lindsay did the
same distance in seventy-eight hours and
fifteen minutes. Mrs Lindsay slept six
hours within the period of her ride

from the last, but Mrs. Lindsay bravely
stuck to her wheel. although the paths
Were muddy and slippery and there was
danger of her receiving a bad fall. She
began the last lap of % miels at ODD am,
and when she completed the journey in
front of Vests Hotel she was met by BIZ
cycle enthusiasts. who cheered her as she
dismounted She said she felt able to do
several more laps. She went to her ROOM
where Mrs. Van Kleeck, her trainer, took
charge of her. She received massage treat
ment, being rubbed with arnica and alco-
boil. Before going to bed she ate some
chicken.
About twenty minutes after she had fin
ished her ride Mrs Lindsay went to sleep
and was allowed to slumber until shortly

was 96 at the close of her ride. Mrs Lind
says temperature is normal, with her res
pration "a. when IS is. the average. Her
knees and wrists are swollen and in
famed, but this will pass away quickly.
Generally speaking, L would say that these
long rides are injurious especially to wo-
men, but in Mrs. Lindsays case no special
harm has been caused"
Said Mrs. Lindsay:
I'm glad it's over, but I'm glad 1 did it.
The hardest thing was to keep cheerful.
L don't think l was foolish. 1t was my
kind of fun. 1t was healthful too. l only
did it so l could say so, but 1t was just as
much use the yacht races
Mrs. Lindsay tomorrow will return to her
home in Brooklyn and resume her usual
household cares and duties. Her husband
was with her throughout her long ride.

Inland Wafer HauI

After The Stars report of testimony be-
fore the industrial commission closed YES
terday afternoon Mr.. Charles S Guthrie
of Pittsburg, president of the American
Steel Hoop Company, and Judge VIM. H.
Moore, the promoter of this and other COM
panies, went on the stand
Mr.. Guthrie said that he found the COM
bination of the interests represented in the
Steel Hoop Company of vast advantage in
many ways, and especially in securing a
foreign market He hoped to see the time
when the export steel trade of this coun-
try would be ten times great in volume
as at present. The United States had a
vast advantage over other countries in the
plenitude of its raw materials and the in
land water haul furnished by the great
lakes. These advantages would enable this
country to beat all the European countries
in the orient and in all other places where
there is fair competition The Steel Hoop
Company was composed of nine different
plants, with $14,O00000 of preferred and
S19,OOo,0O of common stock. He consider
ed the tariff of very material advantage 20
the industry.
Judge VIM. H. Moore of Chicago, who had
organized the American Tin Plate Com
pany, the National Steel Company and the
American Steel Hoop Company and other
combinations, explained his methods at
length Inc organization OF tne I'm Flate
Company had been undertaken at the re-
quest of the owners of a number of tin
plate establishments He bought each of
the thirty-nine concerns interested in the
combination. and then gave the owners the
privilege of accepting cash at the valuation
agreed upon or stock at the rate of one
share of common and one share of pre-
ferred for each 800 in valuation, the par
value of the stock being 800 per share. He
said that the promotion of this and the 9TH
err combinations had required a great deal
of capital and he had borrowed two or
three million dollars to put the tin plate
combination through. He defended the New
Jersey corporation law as fair and liberal,
and said it was modelled largely after the
English law. He hoped to see many of its
features adopted by the other states

mittee recommended the adoption of plan
for improving Washington street, formu-
lated as the result of the recent PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. ]. NJ Hill to give a reward
for the best plan devised. The principal
feature of the scheme was that it provided
for the reduction of the street width by
placing a twenty-siX-foot parking in the
center of the roadway. This was strenu-
ously opposed by the first ward representa-
tives and IN motion the plan was rejected.

gineer.
