come in second. Mariposa was now
let out, and soon commenced leaving
her two competitors well behind. And
finally the race ended by Mariposa
coming in first, several yards ahead of
Bandera, and Bandera nearly the same
distance ahead of Bay Jim. The first
half mile was made in 53 seconds, and
the full mile in 1:5o.
At the time of the weighing of
the riders it was found that the
rider of Mariposa, Mr.. Jacques, lacked
about one pound of the standard
weight, $50 pounds, and therefore he
had to carry light blanket under his
saddle. Mr.. Durfee, the rider of Bay
Jim, was found to be just the weight
required, and Mr.. Machado, the rider
of Bandera, little over weight. AS
soon as the race was over, many gem
tlemen pressed forward to shake hands
with Mr.. Jacques, and congratulate
him on the success of Mariposa. The
Judges were Hon. f. M. Slaughter, of
San Bernardino, starter, A. HOren, of
Santa Barbara, and James Mccoy, of
San Diego. Messrs. Slaughter and
Horen officiated in the same capacity
on the previous day. The time keep
ers were Messrs. r. d. Mott and L. j.
ROse-same as on the first day.
