SAN FRANCISCO, April Sth.-The
match this afternoon between Gold
smith Maid and Golden Gate, running
horse, for S2,500, was won by the Maid
in 2:l94. By the terms of the match
Golden Gate was to run l 3-l6 miles,
full weight, while the Maid trotted
mile. The day was cold, with heavy
gale from the West, ,and the track was
in bad condition, owing to the heavy
rain night before last. Under the cir
cumstances the performance of the
Maid counted one of the best she ever
attempted. A couple of small affairs
kept the match off till $50. When the
bell was rung as the Maid crossed the
score under a full trot Golden Gate
was hundred yards below the three
quarter pole, and as the Maid went
under the wire the flag waved as sig-
nal to Golden Gate, but she banked
and did not start for couple of Sec
onds. She gained fast, but the start
was too much for her,and as the Maid
came in the filly was five lengths be-
hind. Golden Gates time was 2:22a.
The Maid was accompanied by run
ming horse in a sulky. This is said to
be the last match for the Maid. She
will be exhibited at the Centennial,
and after that will be retired from the
turf.
