New YORK, 26tii.-The Mexican
rider Peralta succeed yesterday In rum
ming 20 mustangs 10 miles inside of
seven hours. The exact time of his
riding from the start to the finish was
9 hours, Is minutes and 43 seconds.
After the making of the race, it was
advertised that Peralta would ride Is
mustangs 1855 miles in seven hours
for stake of $4,000, $1,000 of which
he backed and the other backed time.
1t is not probable that any money WAS
put up on the race. 1t was evidently
gotten up like its predecessors. for the
SAKE OF the gate money it was sure to
bring in hand. The manager was
asked this forenoon to name the per-
son who put up the stakes. He de-
clined doing SO, saying that the men
who put up the money would not have
their names known for all you could
pile inside the track. The statement
was too absurd to be credited by
those who heard it The race was evi-
IDENTIFY an investment, and as such It
proved even more successful than its
predecessors. The crowd has been
immense. At its start there were 2,
900 people; at O'clock the number
had reached $4,000, and from that
time until the clase the spectators fll-
ing into the park enclosure made
continuous procession. The entire
number of spectators was 1900, of
whom 1900 paid dollar apiece. The
company was more than ordinarily
respectable. There were very few
betting men, and very little betting.
Peralta's riding was admired by ever
ybody. The horses behaved better
with him than with Parker. The
care that was taken of Peralta was In
marked contrast with the treatment
of Parker. Parker was left to himself
and q common stable man. He ate
hard tack, ham, sandwiches and mince
pie, and drank ice water by the quart.
He rode away in the same direct ion,
and came in at the end of his 226th
mile, blind in consequence. Peralta
was in the care of DR.. Stanly, and was
treated in scientific manner. His
food was beef-tea, taken with proper
frequency, in proper quantities. He
was furnished with fresh caps, with
long visors, at intervals of five or six
miles, which not only kept his head

In the colors of the visors, greatly re-
lieved his eyes. He was also required
to change his direction repeatedly.
He drove his horses much faster than
Parker drove them. Parker's best
time was 2:l7a The best time, how
ever, was 2:l43 and 2:l23.
