THE FIRST HEAT
After four false starts the horses got
off well together. Black Prince inside,
Enterprise i'm the middle and Tenn
ecula outside. In the first quarter
Temecula and Prince kept well to-
gether, with Enterprise some distance
in the rear and breaking badly. Tenn
ecula passed the quarter pole ahead
with Black Prince just behind. The
same order was observed at the half
mile pole and Temecula reached the
wire ahead in 1858, with Prince sec
ond and Enterprise just saving her
| distance.
Pool selling was now lively between
| Prince and Temecula, the former being
| the favOrite.
THE SECOND HEAT.
After two false starts the horses scor-
ell by Enterprise and got away, Welch
inside, Prince next and Enterprise
outside. Temecula got the lead and
kept it throughout the race, being
closely pursued 10y Prince. On the
home stretch Temecula broke badly
and under the whip ran for some dis
tance past the wire, followed by Prince
at square trot. The time was given
at 2:5l and the race given to Prince,
with Temecula second and Enterprise
distanced.
A protest was made against the
driving both horses, the ground being
taken that they did not try to do their
best and by request of the Judges Mr..
Blezzard was appointed to drive Tenn
ecula and Mr. Kennedy to drive Prince.
Mr.. Forster, the owner of Temecula,
stated that he believed Mr.. Welch
did his best and Mr.. Welch said that
the horse was unmanageable because
he had cut himself severely, and that
in the next heat he would put boots on
him.
THIRD HEAT.
| After two false starts the horses got
off, Black Prince inside. AT the quar-
ter pole Black Prince was well ahead,
which distance was kept until the
wire was reached, very effectuauy
shutting out Temecula. The time
was announced at 1852 and the race
given to Black Prince.
