NEW YORK, 26ti,.-The Mexican
rider Peralta succeed yesterday in rum
ming 25 mustangs ij5 miles inside Of
seven hours. The exact time Of his
riding from the start to the finish was
8 hours, Is minutes and 43 seconds.
After the making of the race, it was
advertised that Peralta would ride rs
M m OF q rln Tn
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-
cined 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 evil
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,
700 people; at O'clock the number
had reached $1,000, and from that
time until the clnse the spectators fl
ing into the park enclosure made q
continuous procession. The entire
number of spectators was $1,000, of
whom $4,000 paid dollar apiece. The
company was more than ordinarily
respectable. There We're 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
marked contrast with the treatment
of Parker. Parker was left to himself
and q common stable man. He ate
hard tack, ham, m-sandwiches and mince
pie, and drank ice water by the quart.
He rode away in the same direc 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
cool, but also, by reason of the changes
In the colors of the visors, greatly re-
leved 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:l72 The best time, how
ever, was 2:l44 and 2:l2}.
