For the great trotting race, free for
all, best three in five, for the Clubs
purse Of 1900, the two horses. Copper
head and Jim Cook, were the contest
ants. From the Carson Register we
condense the following items: Copper
head won the inside track, and was
driven by his owner, Peter Goodhie,
who weighed 1853 pounds. Jim Cook
was driven by Dan Dennison, Of Sac
ramento, who weighed 154 pounds.
At l:4O% p. II. the horses got an even
start for the first heat. 10 the first
quarter Cook led; then Copperhead
came up and passed him two feet. At
the bali pole Cook again took the lead,
and maintained it to the last-cominS
out 90 feet ahead, in 2:49.
In tho second heat the horses also
cot an even start. Jim Cook took the
lead on the first quarter, but broke and
was overtaken by Copperhead at the
half pole. Then Cook got ahead again
and was oyertaken on the home stretch
by Copperhead-the two coming out
I'm 2:50L so nearly rel that the heat
was decided dead. Copperhead was
ahead ut the outcome perhaps the depth
of his law, but as he had broken on
the homestretch land thereby gainedl
the heat was very properly called
.sdead." At 2:45 the horses again got
n beautiful start. Jim Cook soon took
the lead, and, with varying fortunes,
maintained 1t to the end, coming out
fifty feet ahead, In 2:45A.
At sos the horses got an exactly
even start for the fourth heat. Copper
head led to the first quarter, then lost
up to his shoulder; gained a little
from the half to the three-quarter pole;
lost on the home quarter, and came In
half a neck ahead, in 2:46.
At 1891 the horses again started ior
the fifth and last heat, Copperhead
about q shoulder ahead. On the hrst
quarter Jim Cook pulled up even, n
at three-auarters he had openeda gap
Of so feet or more. This ne continued
70 widen, coming out In 2:i6, n dis,
tancing Copperhead by more b a ~
feet.
