CHICAGO, June 6 a special 10 the
Times from Louisville says: The race
between Ten Brock and AolIie Nc
Carly continues the universal subject of
conversation, and warm discussions
upon the relative merits of the racers
have been the order of the day. Not
withstanding the fact that Moilie was
distanced the first heat, she has more
friends to-day than she had yester ay,
snd were the race to be run over again,
odds would be less aud the number of
her hackers greater, yet it is thought
those who argue for her have the worst
of il, because of the fact that the horse
did beat her, yet there are good reasons
for the result on account of the oven
like temperature and the hesviness Of
of the the track, both OF which oper-
ated against her, and in favor of the
horse. He aas acclimated, she was
not. and the heat simply doubled her
up before the distance was covered,
being accustomed 10 q cool bracing
atmosphere instead of the sweltering
sun of Louisville, which melted her
speed on. of her. Her staying quail
ties are admitted and after yesterdays
performance even most Of Ten Brock S
friends concedc that she can out foot
him for two miles; it is certainly true
that she set the pace at rate that did
not tax her powers to the full, and kept
it for two miles and more, and that it
was so rapid that it took urging to
bring the big horse up to it. The way
in which the horses went around the
track failed to furnish any confirmation
of General Buford's theory that it was
. hipodrome. and little credence is Civ
en- to it. The general belief that in
the language of Frank Harper it was q
race faom end to end, il was evident
that the horse could do more under the
sun notwithstanding the comparative
slowness of time. Neither side cared to
take the chances of a second heat, and
each was put on the track for the eX-
press purpose of distancing the other if
possible. The mares training did not
contemplate four miles at top speed and
drivers instructions were to set the pace
fast for three miles in the belief she
could hold it that distance, of which hcI
trainer was in some doubt Under he
circumstances the horse would be done
up, and then could come at her leisure.
That his fears were we'll grounded the
result showed Instructions to Ten
Broeck's rider were to ride the horse
right through, and distance the mare if
possible. 1t looked very shaky for the
horse the first two and half miles, but
when he came in at the end of the third
mile five lengths ahead, and the mare
laboring, Harper saw his opportunity,
and stepping out from the weighing
stands, he yelled to Walker ride
for your life," and be did. At the
close of the race, Mr.. Winters offered to
renew the match for future date. The
challenge was not accepted. Harper
says he will run the horse no more as a
racer he has acquired all reputation
that it is possible to obtain, and any
further matches would only expose
him to the chance of losing some of it
to the dotriment of bis value as a
stallion. Miss Mollie Mccarthy, the
dashing California blonde, after whom
the light brown mare is named, came
all the way from San Francisco to see
her namesake run, and attracted much
attention on the grand stand. Her dis
| appointment at the. result was very
keen, for she is proud of the fleet
westerner that has so often borne her
colors to the fore. Time -S:l93.
