THE DAILY APPEAL.

THE RACES YEsrERDY.-T The beautiful
weather and the fine condition of the Carson
City Course offered most inviting occasion
to the lovers of the sports of the turf. As
was announced in the APPEAL, the races
appointed for yesterday were, first, for all
double teams in the State, single dash Of a
mile, for purse of $50 and the entrance
money, $40. Two entries were made: Mr..
Hemenway, of Gold Hill, entered the Joe
Winters grey gelding Reindeer" and .. g.
"Rocket." Capt. E. G. Winnie entered &.
z. Frank" and blk. g." pat" At the tap
of the drum, about 3 o'clock the contestants
passed the score in fine style, Hemenway
having the pole. When but few yards down
the course. Winnie's "Pat" broke badly,
thereby causing a big gap to be opened be-
tween the teams, which Pats" bad be-
havior prevented from being lessened until
coming down the home stretch he did better,
but No: we'll enough to catch Hemenway,
whose team, never breaking good square
trot, came past the score six or eight lengths
ahead, in 3:5l!-not exactly Lantern and
whalebone's time, but pretty respectable
gait for roadsters. The purse and race were
awarded to Mr.. Hemenway.
The next race was Of mile heats, for PAGERS,
TO harness, for a purse of SO ard the en-
trance money, $40. Sine. Barnes entered
Geo. Lewis b. 6. Badly" and Mr.. Hemen-
way entered, for Thomas Moore, b. z. Gore
gon Dan" They got good send off, with
broke up as he passed the stand, being ap-
parently alarmed at the drum tap, and never |
recovered his legs sufficiently to get within
haiiing distance of the pony, which came
through the polls at scrambling gait in 3:04.
Some Of Dams" hackers claimed that
- Badly was distaneed; but the judges de-
cided otherwise, as they were entirely right
IN doing, for besides the fact that both par
les excused the appointment of distance
Judges, there was no such gap between the
horses at the score as so yards-the requisite
pace for a " distance" in such a case. In
he second heat Badly" did decidedly bet
er. taking the lead before going to the quar-
er pole and maintaining it, without break,
md coming in three or four lengths ahead
md passing the stand in 3:04-same time
made by Dan in the first heat. In the third
leat, Badly soon took the lead and kept it in
pite of Dams running through the greater
'art of the back stretch, until reaching the
eginning of the home stretch where Hem .
nway brushed Badly" so closely that Jim
ny Holland, who was driving him, whipped
i'm into rum which gave him the lead again.
nd enabled him to pace past the stand in
:Oi. Considering the inadmisslble behavior
in running their horses) Of both the drivers,
he Judges declared this a dead heat. Mr..
lemenway then came forward and said tina,
is horse was not in condition to go another I
eat and that he accordingly gave up the
ice. Badly was then driven leisurely
'und the track, came through the polls at
entle pace and was awarded the race and
oney. This was an exciting race and
sveloped racing qualities in Badly" that
v expected to see him show.
Mr.. Lewis has done all and more than
,uld be expected of him to make these
ices attractive and to put the course in good
aape. The Carson Brass Band were in
tendance and played most excellently "
