The ten-mile race over the Bay District
track at San Francisco, not long ago, be-
tween Jack Stewart and Controller, was
an event of no ordinary importance in turf
recorded time for that distance-that Of
Steel Gray, an English horse who, at Birm-
ingham, April IS, 1875, did the distance in
27:5615. Stewart, the competitor of Con-
troller in the California race, is well known
long-distance trotter, and for nearly ten
years has headed the list with his twenty
miles to wagon in 1923, the feat
having been performed over the Fashion
course, Long Island, Sept. %, 1863 The
match was for 81, 900, and up to within a
short time of the race Controller had the
call, S25 to S19 but just before the horses
were sent off odds were given on Stew
art. At the start Stewart led, which
he maintained, sometimes being twelve
lengths in advance, until the first turn on
the last mile was reached when Controller
overhauled his compititor, and thence grad
ually drew away at every stride, and won
at jog by some twelve lengths in 27:271s.
The performance was grand one, and
elected much praise from both professionals
and the public. The time of the miles was
respectively 2:4711l, 2:49, 2:45l4, 2:46A,
2:4515, 2:42141, 2:45, 2:414, 2:4154 and 2:4+
| Controller is bay sixteen hands high.
st. Louis correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune says: ''With 112 horses working
| at the track, turf matters hereabouts wear a
very lively aspect. The trotting elements
predominant by large maiority-99 to 13-
but the running element is very cheerful
and enthusiastic, and makes up present
want of numerical strength by contemplate
ing the PSF magnificent thorough breds that
are entered for the stakes to be run for
June 4, 5, 6, and Z. The entries are: The
January stakes, mile heats, for fve-year-olds,
thirty-tive entries; Greeley stakes, three-mile
dash, for all ages, twenty-five entries; Gar
neau cup. mile heats, for all ages thirty-five
| entries: Merchants stakes, mile heats, for
three year-olds, thirty ight entries; Linden
Hotel Post stakes, for all ages, twelve sub
scribers: and the Blow stakes, three-mile
heats, for all ages, eighteen entries, and they
promise more than has ever been realized ct
any race meeting in America.
