One of the women who accompanied President Roosevelt on his six day ride through Oklahoma and Indian Territory last year little Miss Lucille Mulhall who has brought her seven bucking bronchos to Philadelphia essayed a cross saddle ride down Market street Thursday and - didn't like it.

It's so stupid, riding in the city she explained. Philadelphia is dear and I like it tremendously to look at. But it is no place for a prairie girl to ride horseback. There's always something in the way.

You see I have lived all my life on a big ranch in Oklahoma where dad had 80,000 acres just for me to ride in. I've trained horses and ridden horses and done stunts with a lariat all my life.

President Roosevelt is a friend of mine. He is also a friend of dad's - that's how I happened to take the ride with him. He stopped at our ranch and my sister and I went along on the tour. There were several women in the party when we started but we rode for six days and we never went less than fifty miles a day and the others dropped out they could stand it. But I loved it. You see I am used to horses and to riding.

Miss Mulhall with her sisters Georgia and Mildred and her brother Charlie is doing an equestrienne act at Philadelphia this week including taming horses, riding them and roping them. It is her first experience in vaudeville for she is not an actress at all but just a breezy little girl whose xx in years have been spent on the Oklahoma plains.

People in the least are very nice, she said, but they don't know how to ride really. The women ride side-saddle, and they bump jup and down so I wish I could make them all ride cross-saddle. It is so much safer and more sportsman like.
