Montana Maids. IL to 10 Years Old,
Hit Terrific Pace.

Billings. - One of the most ter.
rifle endurance faces ever seen in
this part of Montana, where the riders
were girls and where the horses were
pounded and ridden so hard that one
steed fell dead under the pace. was
the feature of the Fourth celebration
in this city.
The contest was termed ''womaa's
courier" race ana was over a course
of SO miles. Several thousand specta.
tors cheered the cow-girls on in their
mad race. The first lap of the race
was 22 miles and was covered in one
hour and fifty minutes.
At IL o'clock, Funice Scott. aged
16, rode under the wire first, with
Marguerite Enochs. aged IL, following
in three minutes. Amanda Jones. aged
IA, was third. Her horse was so com.
pletely exhausted that ii staggered in
a walk.
Another girl OF II rode her horse at
such a furious pace that IL fell dead
after covering SO miles. Ten other
horses played out entirely and several
of the young women walked into the
wire.
