LOS ANGELES. SUNDAY MORNING. JULY 1878

fOrmance, even most of fTenbr0eck's 4
friends concede that she can outfoot
him for two miles. 1t is certainly
true that she set her pace at q rate
| that did not tax her powers to the
full, and kept it for two miles and
more, and that 1t was so rapid that
it took urging to bring the big horse
up to 1t. The way in which the
horses went around the track failed
to furnish confirmation of
General Buford's theory that
it was pre.arranged affair, and
little credence Is given to 1t. The
} general belief is that 1t was q race
from end to end. 1t was evident
that neither herse could do more
under such sun. Notwithstand-
ing the comparative slowness of
the time, neither side cared to take
, the chances of o second heat and
each was put on the track fer
the express purpose of distancing
the other If possible. The mares
training did not contemplate four
miles at her top speed, and the
drivers instructions were to let her
pace fast for the three miles in the
belief that she could hold 1t that
distance, of which her trainer was
in some doubt. 1t was their belief
that the horse would be done up,
and she could come In at her leisure.
That the trainers fears were we'll
grounded, the result showed. The
instructions to Tenbroeck's rider
were to ride the horse right through
3 I'd distance the mare If possible.
1G looked very shaky for the horse
the first, second and half miles,
but, when he came in . at
the end of the third mile five
lengths ahead and the mare
laooring. Harper saw his
opportunity, and stepping out
from the weighing stand, he yelled
to Walker: "Ride for your life,n
and be did. At the close
of the race Mr.. Winters
offered to renew the match for a
future date. The challenge was
not accepted. Harper says he will
run the horse no more as racer.
He has acquired all the reputation
that it is possible TO obtain, and
any further matches would only
expose him to the chances of losing
some of 1t, to the detriment OF his
value as stallion.
Miss Mollie Mccarthy, the dash.
ing California blonde, after whom
the little brown mare Is named,
came all the way from San
Francisco to see her namesake.
She attracted much attention in
the grand stand. Her disappoint-
ment Mt the result was very keen,
for she ls proud of the fleet west
erner that has SO often borne her
cOlOrs TO the fore.

guided by the old custom of Turk

believe that the Porte has recourse
to this man2uvre merely to spin
out as long as possible the question
