Ten Broeek Distances the California Mare in
the First Heat
LOUISVILLE, July AT 10 o clock this mo, n
ing the streets were we'll nigh impassable the
buildings were handsomely decorated, and un.
parallelei interest felt in the great eyent of
the day.
When tho drum tapped for tho great four mile
race to-day Ten Broeck and Mollie Mccarthy
went by the string like twin bullets. Ten Brock
had the outside of the track, and the mare
being on the inside, ran to the front from the
start. AT the first quarter they were side by
side and going gallantly on to victory. The half
mile did not change the position, and as they
moved onward the thirty thousand spectators
were held In perfect silence. Between the half
and thrce-quarers the mare got her nose ahead
and great cheer went up, and then as they
came past the string and she again appeared in
the front another cheer heard. The mare
was moving easy, but Ten Brock was being
driven hard.
In the second mile Mollis seemed to be NOV
ing with such ease, and Ten Brock labored so
hard, that the Kentuckians wavered by thous-
ands, and the certainty of California's winning
produced dead silence. At the half post in
the second mile Walker urged Ten Broeck quite
hard, and lawson permitted him to come up
side by side A Kentucky yell, which was
heard for miles, rent the air. SO they ran past
the three quarters, and coming into the stretch
Mollie Mccarthy brushed ahead again, passing
the grand stand half length in thsaead.
"She will win sure was heard in oil direc-
lions, and more confident grew the cry as her
easy movement continued, the horse still driy-
ing. She passed the quarter in the third mile
still leading, but the horse hung on to her close
and made pace SO murderous that many knew
k,s Cotton would have On effect ultimately. At
the threc-eighth pole Of the third mile McCar-
thy let up in her running, Ten Brock taking
the track and assing her at the very moment
his friends were giving him up. He increased
rapidly the distance separating them. The
mares break down was heard the field over, but
she ran on. Walker pulling the horse slightly
was ahead on the third mile ten lengths, and
he increased il NIL the time ..ss,although her
defeat was now certain, few fstfzed how far
and easy Ten Brock would win. lie little more
than galloped the remaining mile, the Queen of
of tho CALIFORNIA; being at the three quarter
polo when the great "Kentuctky crack distan-
ced her. The time was s 19S, as follows First

slower than his best record. Both horses were
