Young Teddy Will Ride 20 Miles on
Horseback Thru Heart of the Hills.
DeadwOOd, S. d., Aug. 27.-Youns
Teddy Roosevelt will attempt to out
ride his father and to make a better
showing on horseback for one day than
the president did on his famous ride
from Laramie to Cheyenne, during his
western trip last spring. 1t is said
here that the young man made a bet
with the president before leaving
Oyster Bay that his record. would be
better than that made by his father.
The presidents trip was from Lara
mic to Cheyenne, about sixty miles,
and relays of horses were stationed at
short intervals on the way. Colonel
Seth Bullock superintended the ride
and will do the same for young Roose-
welt. The trip will be over rougher
ground than was the presidents, as
young Teddy will go through the very
heart of the Black Hills.
The route chosen is seventy miles
long, ten miles longer than the Lara
mie-Cheyenne. Relays of horses have
been arranged for, but the date of the
ride is not yet fixed.
