thronged the streets, packed the hotels and
boarding houses, and sought accommoda-
ton in every conceivable place, was never
seen in Louisville before. All day yester-
day train after train added to the crowd,
and the importing continued this morning,
but not half seemed to have arrived All
the neighboring cities of Kentucky and
Indiana poured in their population, and
train after train from more distant points
still augmented the throng
THEDAY
| opened bright and clear and as the hours
advanced the sun grew hotter until it fairly
boiled in intensity. The city in every direc-
ton was handsomely decorated and pre-
sented gala attire never witnessed by our
people before. Flags and streamers were
seen IN every part Of the city, and the res
taurants, hotels and public buildings were
beautiful with floral decorations. Main
street had been fcstooned with flags as far as
the eye could reach extending long vista
of streamers and banners Of every kind and
device. Market street and the Cross streets
lhad also been ornamented and the city gen
erally, despite the boiling heat, presented
On animated appearance. The
uSBoUSDED CURIOSITY

race was not gratified. The stables Of both
we're guarded by police and detectives.
Last hight Mr.. Harper slept in Ten
Brock, stall and the feed Of both horses
was KEPT locked up, not even their Jockeys
being permitted access. Home prejudice
and hone influence were all in favor of the
horse and at the New Orleans saloon John
Walsh last night sold the pools, Ten
Brock bringing 800 and Mollie McCar-
thy, 81.

VICTORY FOR TEN BROCK.
LOUISVILLE, July 4.-Then came the
g'est four mile race between Ten Brock,
tlr king, and Molie Mccarthy, the queen
ofthe American turf. Both horses were in
good condition, but the feeling and odds
were decidedly in favor of the Kentucky
horse. The Calitornians, Of whom a great
many were present, stoutly maintained the
superiority of their tavorite, and took the
large odds as long as they had cent left.
| THE START
! Mccarthy first appeared on the track and
was received with loud cheers When Ten
Brock was led on the excitement was in
tense. They were sent of at the first at
tempt BIZ Mr.. Clark, president of the associ-

Molly Mccarthy being distanced. The
fist mile they ran so close together that
blanket would cover them. The second
mile showed but little change. In the
the third mile Ten Brock took the lead,
wien Mccarthy quit and Ten Brock easily
shut her out. Time Sl0A.

other match, provided 1t be run on the
