"Not many young women have had the honor of entertaining President Roosevelt on horseback," writes a special
correspondent to Leslie's Weekly.
"Few of them could stay with him upon such a strenuous trip. Not so with Lucille Mulhall, of Mulhall, Okla., for
she could ride a pony when three years old and a bucking bronco at eleven. She knows President Roosevelt as an athlete who came to
her father's ranch and they had a good time riding the worst-behaved horse sin that region. Miss Mulhall has been, with her
brother and younger sister, the drawing card in a high class vaudeville troup, just because, she says, President Roosevelt
suggested that she go on the stage and show the people of the east how girls are raised in the west. Tall and athletic,
ruddy from outdoor life, Miss Mulhall, just 19, is the picture of health. Not only is she perfect in horse-riding, but
she is also a crack shot with arevolver, being able to hit a nail on the head with a bullet. At San Antonio, Tex.,
she won the title of champion lariat thrower of the world over all men. For this feat she wears a gold medal.
In 1903, in Dennison, Texas, she roped and tied a steer in thirty seconds. She has since defended her title as the champion
lariat thrower, and for this she wears another gold medal."
