Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1878-07-05

is becoming painful, but occasional relief is
caused by some enthusiastic friend of one or
the other of the horses, who gives vent to his
pent up enthusiasm with such expressions as
''Horay for TenLroeck!" Bully for the
| mare,'' Fetch out your stock!" Wander
| they GOMEZ" etc. Great heavens! where do
aggerated ideas of the crowd we would see
here to-day are doubly realized, and the race
will not begin for two hours yet.
The crowd get sight of couple of horses

expression of satisfaction and delight.
There's Mollie!'' There's Tenbroeck! "

starting point. This movement was severe

horses supposed to be the central figures IN

| race of the day, the multitude seemingly
having forgotten that anything else was to

everybody and every thing would get out Of
| the way for Tenbrueck and Mollie.
The first event of the day was mile and
| three-quartcr dash between Dan X. and Hank
away, in which the frst-named came off the
victor, the time announced being 2:1814
An effort to awaken some enthusiasm on the
result of this race signally failed. The crowd

AS the hours narrowed down to
minutes when the two great horses
were to begin their contest, it began to
look somewhat TO your reporter as If failure
| was in store. The huge story of immense
piles staked on the result began shrinking
down to thousands, and then to hundreds,
and still lower, until the horses were actually
| on the course, when bets of two and three
| and even four to one in favor of the horse
| were freely offered, but no takers.
The pools were sold at about
| FIVE for Tenbroeck and two for Mollie NJ Car
| thy. The private betting was strongly in ia
| vor of the Kentucky horse. When everything
was ready for the event of the day, the two
| horses were brought before the grand stand
| by different routes. When Mollie NJ Carthy
came to sight, she in no wise disappointed
| the people. On her feet she was as MIN
BILE as cat, aud her why appearance
| would seem to indicate endurance and
pluck. She ingratiated herself with
the lovers of fine horses by her melted mein
| and fiery eye. Tenbroeck was led up to the
| stand, followed by old man Harper placidly
walking along with his umbrella. A num-
Der of darkies came after him. When Ten
brock was stripped, he was every inch a
king. Every set of lungs that had been
nurtured by Kentucky air sent up shout for
unmistakably stirred and reused up in
behalf of her favorite, and Frank
| Harper was told that his horse must beat for
the honor of ''Old Kaintuck.'' At the first
drum-tap the horses started off at lightning
| speed, the mare cantering along In an appa-
rently easy and lasting manner and about a
| neck ahead of Tenbroeck. They rounded the
| quarter mile, the half and three-quarters, and
came dashing in before the judges with the
mare still neck ahead. The crowd was now
| thoroughly excited, and bets were freely Of
| fered in favor of the game little Queen oil
California; and still they clatter away at a
| lively rate, with Tenbroeck the same distance
behind, until the second mile is completed
| The anxiety was now intense in regard to the
event of the race, but Tenbroeck seemed tc
be held In reserve. At pa miles he
began to show the stuff he was made of by
| pushing the mare. A neck-and-neck race
ensued; they drove along as if impelled by
utter despair, but such speed was bound to
tell, and TIE orange was seen to fall back Of
| tie yellow, and horses length is between
them. When they came to the judges stand
for the third time, Mollie was about three
lengths behind. Such shout went
up from the crowd as is rarely heard. Wher

she suddenly threw up her tail and her chance
was over. She continued to run, however
but when Tenbroeck came in on the home.
stretch the mare was fully a quarter of a mile
behind. The time was nothing remarkable
and Tenbroeck was evidently kept from
running his best when victory wal
assured. The mare was declared distanced
and that put an end to the race. The time
made was :45A, 3:451, 5:53 and 8:I94
When the mare was so completely conquered
the crowd turned itself into bowling, hur.
raining set of madmen. Men who had never
seen each other before shook hands franti
caly, and yelled as loud as they could in each
others faces. An enthusiastic party caught
old man Harper up and carried him around
through the crowd, while cheer after chez
rent the air. Both horses are represented al
sick, the mare especially, so neither horse, i
is asserted, could have run the second hea
with much credit.
