ous Century Riding.
Mrs. George Bayne. who wants to excel the
national records OF both men and women for
continuous century riding, and started at i2Oi
yesterday morning to perform a thirty-day
ride. of $500 miles. found the cooler weather
30 much to her liking that she decided
to run ahead Of her schedule and do a double
century tie frst day. She started OF with
s. G. Beloher and Arthur Boyd for company.
and at $50 yesterday morning finished her
first 100 miles. Before starting 1t was Mrs.
Bayne's Idea that by taking the full time Tor
each century. and double. twelve and twenty
four hours. she could keep going for u month

every twcnty-four hours, supposing tho two

advocate this that IL does not pay in record
road riding ~ go without sleep as Iona a. pos
sible. The temptation to get as far ahead
OF schedule as possible while feeling strong
Is too much for most Of the enthusiasts, how
ever. and II Is apt to prove too great for Mrs.
