Both and ended at Denver at 2:35 o. m.
on June 9th, the distance is called $40
miles. The winners (for there were

F. Workman who ahead of all the rest,
rode into Denver side by side having
agreed to call it tie, or in racing par
lance dead heat. Wybert belongs to
Severance, Colorado, and weighs 1893
pounds with saddle, and his horse
Sam" weighed Oil pounds. Workman
resides at Cody, Wyoming, weight 100
pounds. He rode Teddy, weight 1925
pounds. The Teddy horse was we'll
nigh exhausted and they administered
whiskey and quinine to him once near
the close of the race but he was uniniur-
ed and came into Denver in fair shape.
Sam" finished in the best condition
and his rider was adjudged the best
horseman and was awarded the addi-
tional prize of $500 for finishing with
his horse in the best condition. 1t was
test of endurance for the men as we'll
as the horses and both were we'll nigh
"all in"
James Edwards of Diamondville, Wy
oming, came in at $40 and was awarded
third place. Kern, who resides at Colo
RADIO City, Colo, reached Denver at 9:l5
p. m. and took fourth place, and in each
case these horses were in good condi-
ton. There were twenty-five entries
but with the exception of the four men,
toned they dropped out one by one and
eleven drew out on the last day.
This race would seem to prove that
the horse that can carry a man $40 miles
in l56 hours is good one and few there
be that can do it. Still it is only three
and one half miles an hour which does
not seem very fast, but it is probably
about the limit.
