THE RACE AGAINST TIME.

Thirty Miles Ina One Hour, Nineteen
Minutes and Forty-R We Seconds.
The most exciting race of the season
came off over the Winuemucca course
last Saturday, ut which time w. V.
Smith undertook to ride 80 miles in one
hour and eighteen minutes, changing
horses every mile. The feat was to be
accomplished with six horses, which it
appears were selected without reference
to their going qualities. The weather
was unusually windy. aud clouds of
dust whirlei over the course, notwith.
standing which good many persons
attended. Betting on the result was
quite lively. the odds in the pools be
ing about teo to seven that Smith could
not accomplish tho feat within the time
specified. At twelve minutes to three
O'clock by thu Judges time, Smith
passed the sc ire at the stand and was
tapped of. the wind blowing a gale
dead against the horse aud rider ONE
third vi the dist ,nce around the course !.
The average time to make mile and
change horses WAS two minutes and So
seconds. The first mile and change
were made in 2: 81; second. 2: rs; third
z: 10; fourth, 3:llZ, the horse refusing
to 90. and necessltatiug the saddiing of
another horse, which caused delay Of
nearly minute. The first ten niles
and changes were made in 24D7X
wenty miles were made 10 45 minutes,
ia seconds, aud the thirty miles ,iu
hour, IS minutes and. A8 seconds. One
OF the horses became lame. and two
others gave out about the twenty.
second mile, and tho last nine mtles
were made with three, horses. The
rider sho we'd no symptoms of fatigue
and sprang from his horse and iuto the
saddle on smother. rs lightly aud as
quickly when making The last change
as he did the first tims. The sym
pathies of the crosd we're with bim,
and 1t Was coneeied by all that on a
calm day he could have won the race
with the. horsed he rode, and were it
not that some of bis horses gave out
aud one refused to g.. he would have
won it anyway. The fastest heats run
were the 9Th. in 2: 10; the 18th, in 2: IL.
aud the 2lst in 200.

HARRY MIGaELs ON THE srUMF


"neS the speaker mad 10 say ON
the .situation.
Henry r. Mighels. Republican nvmi-
nee for Lieutenant Governor. was in
troduced to Winnemucca audience at
Centennial Hall Saturday evening by
s. 3. Grass. The speaker confined
his remarks almost exclusively to an
explanation of the Bullion Tax bill,
and his vote for the modification of the
same. He said in 1876 the so called
Bonanza firm resisted the payment of
the tax. and a stakeholder named
Forbes brought suit in the United
States Court against Assessor Oracle Of
Storey county, to restrain him from
collecting the tax. which the Bonanza
Company held was illegal, on the
ground that the bullion was part of the
realty which was owned by the United
States. The people in the western
part Of the State became alarmed, and
candidates for ths Legislature were
pledged against the repeal of the law.
la January. 1877. the Bonanzas owed
about 500 900. aud the United States
Circuit Court having refused them an
injunction against the Assessor, they
appealed. aud everybody. was in dis
tress. The Bonanza agents went to
the State officers aud said they would
withdraw the case from the courts and
pay what they owed if the law was
modified. Curts Hillyer attorney for
the Bouauzis. told him Mighel that
he had been to see the State, officers
and they told him it would be wiser to
modify the tax law than to keep on
having. He (Mighels). then Speaker
OF the Assembly, advised Hllyer to
have Bradley send special message
recommending the passage of the bill.
He was re quested in memorial from
Ills constituents, signed by the Repub-
lican voters OF Ormsby county to vote
tor the bill, and was also released from
his pledges, aud that was Why he voted
tor the measure. The Republicans OF
Nevada were handicapped by Bonauzu
bullion. He said it was agreed by
Governor Bradley when the Bonanzas
paid their bullion tax that the penalty,
$l25 900, shonld not DO collect
cd until the next Legislature
acted upon the measure. He admitted
that Governor Bradley's veto on thu
compromise bill Was wise, but Legis,
latures should take chances. He
claimed to be the author of resolution
