ance The fact that Will H. Brown. who
completed the task was in 1897 suffering
from hemorrhages and was diagnosed by
several physicians as victim of consump-
ton, makes the ride more wonderful.
Brown NEEDED no help to dismount, and
walked TO his training quarters. When
asked how he felt he SAID:
''.Ail right: better than l did last year
after riding 1000 miles,
His only complaint was sore feet.
Browns condition when he finished was
phenomenal. No stranger seeing him and
being told what he had accomplished would
believe II on the evidences furnished by his
appearance. Owing to bad weather Brown
was far behind his schedule at the end of
his ride. He set out to complete a cen
fury every nine hours which would have
made him finish Saturday midnight. Never
theless his ride establishes new records for
every 100 miles from LOO to 1000. In all.
Brown Travelled through more than thirty

three days of record breaking heat.
