Bold Indian Riders At Chief Friday Camp Exhibition
A Chicago Times account describes Chief Friday's camp hosting a display of horsemanship by young Indian riders. They performed rapid movements, skirmish drills, and feats of balance, occasionally leaping and riding with one foot or hanging to the horse, impressing observers with their precision and endurance. The exhibition lasted about two hours as ponies and riders wore down from the exertion.

The Hudson River steamboat New York's brisk trial run
A historic ragged montage reports the New York steamboat with one thousand passengers hitting twenty four miles per hour on its trial and mentions a faster rate of twenty six.
