Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-10-27


At even heats the opposing horses
now stood and the excitement became
intense. About $4,000 had been de-
posted with Noyes & Durfee Oh the
result and many outside bets were
awaiting the final trial. Pools were
again sold, at $50 on the Moor to S25
on Echo. The animals were sent off
in fair shape, the Moor at the pole.
Echo shot ahead, but the black horse
soon collared him and passed the
quarter pole over a length in advance:
The Moor slowly but steadily widened
the gap and despite q bad break in the
third quarter came to the scratch at
least three lengths in advance. Time,
2:43b, and then the heat and the race
were given to the Moor.

THE RUNNING RACE.
Next came running race that
promised general excitement and did
not deceive the expectations of the
public. A five mile dash, free for all,
catch weights, for a purse of S300-$1S0
to first, $50 to second and $40 to third.
Some five or six entries were expected,
yet but three came to time and the
race was really between two crack
runners-Bandera and Pele. The en-
tries were as follows:
Geo. A. Johnston enters br. m. Pele,
by Belmont, dam Liz Givens.
Francisco Machado enters b. h. Ban
dera, no pedigree.
Manuel Cariega enters r. h. Noun
taineer, no pedigree.
Irene Harding, q noted mare, being
enciente, was not in good condition for
a five mile run. and consequently was
withdrawn from the race. Noun
taineer, although not of the same sex,
was in worse condition before he had
run three miles. Pele, q beautiful
mare with good blood peeping out of
her skin, had orange colors; Bandera,
a great favorite with the Spaniards
and trim and promising in his ap-
pearance, red colors; and Mountaineer,
whose "come-out" is yet to come, white
colors.
A good start was secured, PeIe on
the inside, Bandera next and Noun
taineer on the outside. Mountaineer
shot ahead, but his wind failed him
and the white colors soon dropped be-
hind-from a run he came down to a
lope, then to fox trot, then to a
walk and then, at the third mile, he
vanquished from sight. Bandera and
Pele had it neck and neck for while
when the orange" went to the
front and held that position when the
race was won. But the contest was
red hot and several times the "MeXi-
can colors " were in the van. Ban
dera made desperate efforts on the
fifth mile, but Pele came in about one
hundred yards ahead, making the five
miles in 10:l63. The time by miles
was as follows, viz: 1857; 1853; 2:02;
2:11a; 2:0S. About $4,000 in pools
were sold on this race, Pele being the
favorite by odds of $25 to $50.
THE PACING RACE.
The last race for the day was pac-
ing match free for all horses, mile
heats, best two in three, purse $3.50
500 to first and $50 to second. The
entries were as follows:
J. Beecraft enters bl. g. Emperor, no
pedigree.
Johnny Donahoe enters s. M. Daisy
Dean, four years old, no pedigree.
E. B. Clifford enters b. m. Minnie,
five years old, by Mormon Chief, dam
unknown.
Betting was quite freely INDUCED in
at rates of $50 on Emperor to S17 for
the field. Daisy Dean won the pole,
Minnie next and the Emperor on the
outside. With good start for all,
Daisy Dean took the lead, but at the
half-mile pole all were in bunch
again; then the Emperor went to the
front, Minnie at his heels and Daisy
Dean far in the rear. Minnie and the
Emperor had it nip and tuck to third
quarter, when the Maid slipped ahead
and won the heat by several lengths,
the Daisy being distanced. Time,
500.
In the second heat Minnie was
placed next to the pole. The EN- peror
lead to the quarter pole and then there
was some fine pacing for half a mile,
Minnie steadily crawling up to her
sovereign. The black maintained his
advantage until the score was reached,
coming in about two lengths ahead.
Time $3.50.
Prior to the second heat, the Maids
success had increased her popularity
and the pools were sold in her favor at
20 to 10, and despite her misfortune in
the second heat she remained the fa-
vorite at the same odds.
Again the horses were called to the
scratch for the third and final heat.
The black had the pole, but Minnie
was ahead nearly a length when the
word "go" was sounded. When she
captured the pole, she spurted ahead
with commendable zeal but the EN-
peror filled up the gap and passed the
female near the first quarter. AT the
half-mile he was several lengths ahead,
when the mare evinced a determina-
tion to close up and pass him. There
was fine dash up the home stretch
and Minnie passed under the wire less
than neck ahead, winning both heat
and race. Time 3:U7s. AS the mare
broke badly on the last quarter, con-
siderable protest was made to the
judges but they decided that Minnie
had fairly won the race.
