THE FEELING IN THIS CITY,
No race in many years has excited so much in
terest this. The amount or the purse very
great. and the conditions such that two more Of
the contestants must come from the east OF the
Rocky Mountains, and consequently 10 Daniels,
Hubbard and True Blue found their way to the Pa
ciic slope.
10 Daniels was entered in the four-mie heat
race at Oakland Park, on the 18th OF October last,
for purse OF S., 900. and though he beaten by
Thad Stevens his owner never despalred OF his sue
cess in this contest.
True Blue was sent by his owner, Mr.. John F.
Chamberlin, from Baltimore, Immediately after
the great fOur-mlle heat race in which he 80 sig
naly defeated Harry Bassett over q muddy track
in 4s. The presence Of this celebrated horse
among the clippers OF the Pacific coast created
u vast amount OF excitement among turtles
all over this Continent, the betting hereabouts
clined to the belief that Thad stevens was invin-
chile, and accordingly he was great favorte In
snn syo 10 ona oyer the sd Hs vctsrv tnIy
justified their ardent expectations.
