Wick = Ave., Youngstown, Ohio, WONDERFUL HORSEWOMAN Remarkable Achievements of a Woman Driver, Rider and Jumper New York, March 16.—For many years the subject of this sketch has held to the title of the Queen of the Turf. When one speaks of a rider, one immediately conjures up visions of a highly decorated and very much bespangled damsel in abbreviated skirts, but Mme. Marantette belongs to an entirely different category. It is not what she does on the horse, it is what she makes the horse do. This remarkable woman, who has held millions spellbound with daring equestrian feats for nearly forty years, commenced to ride in 1882, and has been a particularly bright riding star ever since. She probably holds more records than any other horsewoman who ever lived, Some of her notable achievements are as follows: She created a sensation in England in 1889 and again in 1898 with her jumping horses. She has he!d, almost continually, the world’s record for high ‘jumping horses since 1891, when at Taunton she rode File Maker to a record of 7 ft, 4% inches. This jump was not equaled until several years later, when Tearl, owned by Pepper, of Toronto, Canada, jumped 7 feet 6 inches, File Maker died August, 1996. Then she bought Senator, but he could not go over 7 feet. St. Patrick, her next horse, made a record of 7 feet 10% inches. Mme. Marantette drove the very frst tandem of four horses in lead, riding over hurdles. She was the first woman to drive a bigh school horse to a buggy. She holds the world’s record for driving a running horse to a buggy—a mile in 1 minute and 45 seconds—at Buffalo, N. Y., im 1887, which is the fastest mile ever driven, In 1882 she rode a ten-mile race on thorobreds, changing horses at the end of each mile, in 18 minutes and 17 seconds. This was on a halfmile track, “People used to have a way of asking me when 1 would retire and I would tell them from byear to year it would be the next,’ said Madame Marantette In an interview. “But each fall I could not resist the call of riding, and I began to consider why I should retire if I could go on doing as well and better than I hai previously. Now I am determined to ride until there is nothing of me.” Many have noticed that St. Patrick, the Madame’s present jumping horse and best loved animal of his owner, rarely takes the highest jumps without refusing the first several times. Each time he goes to the rail to take the leap and declines. Modame Marontette takes him patiently back to the starting place, without an flash of the whip or chastisement for his refusal. “Gentieness is the only way to manage St. Patrick or any other horse, and I never force him to take the jumps. The jump is not going to be made until he feels he can go over, and everything is left with him. He holds the world’s record and I will not try to break that unless some other horse raises it higher yet,’" she says. Madame Marantette is one o¥ the really great women in show business, and she and her high-jumping horses will. in all probability, thr'll and delight thousands for years to come, She is the Bernhardt of the circus arena. — destrvection of property.
