revive the discussion which grew
out of that race. but 1t is generally
conceded that the son OF Phaeton

Brock has started but once this

May -, against Leonard. Vera
Cruz. Bill Bass and Aristides, one
and a half miles. The champion
went to the front, and then was
taken to Louisville to be trained
for his great match with Molly
Mccarthy. The California mare
defeated everything on the Pacific
Slope, after which she looked about
for new worlds to conquer. She
has started thirteen times and never
lost a race. She is a worthy com
petitor of the wonderful horse

SO great is the desire on the part Of
thousands living outside Of Ken
lucky to witness the race between
the two celebrated flyers chat the
railroad companies have been In
duced to provide for the running
OF special trains to and from Louis
Vile for their accommodation.
Round trip tickets for instance,
from Chicago VIII be sold foI
twelve dollars, and even now the
books are open for the engagement
Of berths III the Pullman coaches.
Molly Mccarthy takes her training
kindly on Kentucky soil. She ],
in good health, and her friend:
predict that she will he IN a condl.
ton to run the great race Of hel
life on the Fourth July. Ter
Brock also is doing well. IL.
trainer is well satisfied with HI:
.orm, and the followers Of Harper
colors show their faith by freely
backing the horse whenever the
California party offer to put then
gold on the mare. 1t IS safe 7
say that when the champions face

presence of one Of the larges
crowds ever seen on a race course
