Fif;y-Mile. Mustang Race.
TWO INTREPID RIDERS AND THE TIME
THEY MADE WITH TEN Ht
80 HORSES EACH. aaa

The ifty-mile mustang race on the
Bay District Course was decidedly
successful. This species Of turf
sport has it's merits outside of its
novelty. The race was for $500 a
side, fifty miles ont, each contestant
tobe allowed ten horses, and required
to change horses every mile. The
parties to the match were H. N.
Mowry and j. P. Smith, both men
whose business is in che saddle, and
who have becomed Injured by years
of experience to the disagreeable
irmness Of the Spanish saddle and
the unpleasant peculiarities Of the
mustang horse. p 'ai" $50 '.'''R
The quarter Stretch was crowded
with bucking, rearing and kicking
half!breed horses among Which It
was dangerous to be SAFE" AT
three o'clock the judges ordered the
riders up, and they set of with
proptness. The horses used by Mr..
Smith were notably superior to those
Of Mowry; but he was deliberate in
his mounts and dismounts, while
Mowry threw himself from one horse
to another, almost without losing his
Roadway. BY this means he more
than made up for the difference in
the speed Of his horses. He was re-
peatedly timed, and he at no time oc-
cupied more than from three to four
seconds in making achange. AT the
close of the tenth mile Mr.. Smith, in
attempting to mount an evil-disposed
bronco, received a severe kick just
below the right knee, which rendered
him very stiff and sore. To this
mislap he ascribes his defeat. With
few exceptions, Smith led to the end
of the fortieth mile. At this stage
Mowry turned loose his, choicest
horses, and at the end of the forty
eighth mile was a full quarter ahead.
Smith rode, desperately TO close II
