RACE NOTES.
[BY OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

This morning all the horses were
out bright and early. Target took his
galOp, and Irene went two miles hard.
Mariposa had stiff galOp, ridden by
her owner. Captain Jack and Reid's
black colt, Careless, brushed together
down the stretch, and Paddy and
Iongfellow did some tall trotting.
The track was flooded to-day, and to-
morrow it will be in excellent condi-
tiOn. The horses will do their work
on the inside track in the morning.
l.. J. Rose has sent in his hay and
feed, and his trainer, McGregor, is eX-
pected early tomorrow with the rest
of the stud. He will probably bring
Overland, Barbara, The Moor and
Gretchen. The Moor is better known
under his old name of Beauclay.
Paddy stands good show for the three
minute race, though still too fat.
More of him anon.
MachadO's horse is the favorite for
the gentlemen's saddle race, and has a
terrible turn of speed for half mile.
Captain Jack looks well for the half
mile and repeat. He runs against
Careless and another colt of John
Reeds.
Milkboy did some splendid trOtting
this morning. His contest with Long
fellow and the Moor will probably be
the best race of the week. He has
never been beaten on this track yet,
and his best public time so far is 2:47.
LOngfellOw has made 1852, l believe,
and the Moor 1856. They say, howev-
er, that the Moor is beating 2:40 now
all the time.
Billy Donathan's yearling filly,
Ballet Girl is picture. She is a
bright bay with star on the forehead.
by Monday, out of Ballarina. Mon-
day is by Cotton, dam Molly Jackson,
by Vandal. Ballarina is by imported
horse Balrohna.
Col. Tiffany has bespoken six stalls
for the exhibition of his Echo colts and
their dams. They will probably ar
rive tomorrow.
MachadO's Oceana, went around
three times at stiff gait, better than
twenty-eight seconds to the quarter
was made.
EnOch Arden is ailing to-day, which
does not improve his chances for the
three minute race. The Dashaway
colt went three minute gait, held
we'll in hand. Captain Jack made a
couple of fast brushes along side of
Careless.
Charley Thomas two year old, Pho
Mono, by TenbrOeck, did some fast
work. He goes in the two year old
race against Captain Jack, and is a
terrible good colt.
ROchoa, of the Cienega, does most Of
her hard work at night. She is spo-
ken Of as being very fast, but no
one sees her going.
horse is all we'll again,
and galloped stiff two miles this
morning. He moved very fast
through the stretches. He was hurt
in the loins or back, some time ago but
is now sound as bell
Charley Durfee's b. g., Bay Jim,
moved very lively for half mile.
He is entered in the the saddle race.
Chapmans White Stockings, and
Myers Charlie, ran down the track
very fast.
Durfee' quarter mare took u
breather. Nance is all right, and has
got over little temporary lameness.
She looks well for the five-mile race.
Sultan is also all right, and shows no
signs of his former lameness. Mari
pOsa did two and three-quarter miles
in the afternoon, at stiff galop. To-
morrow she will take her last sweat
previous to running on Tuesday. l
promised to describe Paddy. He is u
half brother to IIOngfellow, both Of
them being sired by Mormon Chief;
dam unknown. He stands about fif-
teen hands, one inch, and is dark
chestnut sorrel. He has great length
of shoulder and a fine loin, and like
Longfellow is eight years old. He is
not as fine in the neck as Longfellow,
but that will improve. He has a deep
chest, and is very long from hip to
hook, a white star in forehead, and a
magnificent name and tail. He stands
in the next box to his half brother.
He will probably give better account
of himself next year than this. Long
fellow is doing splendid work, and if
he gets away with the MilkbOy and
the Moor no one will be surprised.
