At 2:A0 o'clock yesterday morning tho longest
continuous century ride ever performed by
a woman-i, 500 miles In iA hours 70 minutes
was completed. Mrs. Jane Lindsay. the
performer. was not then ft TO be sent any fur
ther. but she needed no assistance to dismount
from her wheel. and she was as clear In mind
a. ever she was. but wofully wearied. There
we're q couple Of score Of Century Road Club
members and other enthusiasts about the
Valley Stream Hotel At the finish. but there
was no such demonstration as was made at
the end Of 1000 miles, whom the tune made by
Mrs, Lindsay was ioi hours and So minutes.
nearly II hours ahead Of the time made by Miss
CAST. The diminutivs rider was seized by
Charles Nook and Mrs.. 9. l.. Stewart and
walked to her room. She had nothing TO say
except that she was 'all right II was OOH
sidered probable on Sunday that Mrs. Lindsay
would be strong enough at the end OF the 1900
miles to go on and try to ride 2,0oo miles. This
was desirable In order 70 act as a possible de-
cerrent TO any other woman century rider
who might aspire to beat her record. II was
not, however. considered advisable to ur 70
her 10 do more.
What Mrs. Lindsay accomplished was to
beat the lime Of Miss CAST and all other women
for continuous centuries from 100 miles to
1000 miles and establish new records from
1000 miles to $500 miles. She made q clean
sweep Of It and at the end was within two hours
and sixteen minutes Of The time made BY Ank
but powerful Win Brown. The di@culty OF
tho task cannot b easily represented By figures,
but the fact that she started at Q A. NJ. on Mon

20 minutes that elapsed until the finish yes
