She won in 1881, was the only lady in about twenty starters, and her mount was appropriately named Champion. The late Lord William Beresford was second, and General Cook, her husband, was third. After I left India, Lord William gave a cup to be competed for by ladies only, which must have acted as a strong stimulant to those who had vainly tried to beat the "mere male." Mrs.
Life is a Marathon in which persistence triumphs. There are many "good starters," but few "strong finishers." That is why the failures so outnumber the successes. The man who travels fastest does more than he is told to do. To merely comply with a fixed routine is to fall short of one's duty. The progressive man adds to the work of today his preparation for the work of tomorrow.
"There'll be plenty o' starters, for all that, my lads!" observed the little tradesman. "Never you fear! There'll be candidates." Stoner drank off his ale and went away. Usually, being given to gossip, he stopped chatting with anybody he chanced to meet until it was close upon his supper-time. But the last remark sent him off.
Meanwhile, he will go to the paddock and have a look at the horses for the first race. Half-a-dozen horses are already out, and men with numbers on their arms are walking them round and round in a ring. Liberal has not appeared. The numbers of the starters, with the names of the jockeys, are now being hoisted.
"It's been a good truck," she said. "Starters go," Oliver said. "Toyotas are fine. Where do you work?" "I'm a banker," she said. He sat straighter. "Fooled you," she said. "I wouldn't have guessed. I thought maybe you were a teacher." When I saw you with Francesca, he almost added. "Bankers are discreet," she said. She looked at him directly. "Are you discreet?" He considered. "Yes."
But be cautious what you say, for you can't prove much, remember." A race had been arranged between the boys, and Dick was one of the contestants. The distance was from one end of the cove to the other a little over three-quarters of a mile. There were ten starters, including Fred, Frank, Larry, and Mumps. Mumps had a reputation as a skater gained at his home on the Hudson River.
There's need of more starters, more of us starting people moving Jesus' way. I think the memory of this evening's work with Peter must have come back very vividly to Andrew one morning a few years afterwards. It's up on the hills of Judea, in Jerusalem. There's a great crowd of people standing in the streets, filling the space for a great distance. There are some thousands of them.
Now, some more of you get out and try it." Rapidly coach called off the names of those he wanted to try out. Some of these young men did better than the starters, for they had learned from the criticisms, and from the showing of Luce's standard form. Presently the young men were standing about in various parts of the field, for none came in until called. "Ripley," said Mr.
Every stall, consequently, was equally distant from the starting-line or chalked rope above mentioned. The trumpet sounded short and sharp; whereupon the starters, one for each chariot, leaped down from behind the pillars of the goal, ready to give assistance if any of the fours proved unmanageable. Again the trumpet blew, and simultaneously the gate-keepers threw the stalls open.
The Warhorse steaming away low and lightly, his ears up and the breezes whistling through his thirteen stars. Minkie with Fango, the new Dog, bounded in eager pursuit, but, to the surprise of the starters, the gap grew smaller. The Warhorse was losing ground, and right before the Grand Stand old Minkie turned him, and a cheer went up from the dog-men, for all knew the runners.
