| Summary | "The Wide World Magazine, Vol. 22, No. 128, November, 1908" is a collection of travel and adventure stories published during the early 20th century. This issue encompasses a range of articles offering readers vivid glimpses into diverse experiences, from exciting race meetings in Australia to endurance races in America and curious anecdotes from various authors. Such a compilation reflects the adventurous spirit and exploration themes of its time. The opening of the magazine features a story titled "Barmaid's Steeplechase" by C.C. Paltridge, which recalls an exciting race set in the Australian bush during the 1870s. The narrative introduces a young boy named Charlie, who unexpectedly finds himself riding in a steeplechase due to the absence of an experienced jockey. Amidst a backdrop of rough-and-tumble characters and a lively crowd, the race unfolds with peril and excitement, highlighted by Charlie's initial efforts and obstacles faced, including the antics of a malicious rival named Lean. This engaging setting serves to not only entertain but also illustrate the camaraderie, risks, and wild spirit characteristic of local racing culture in that era.
