ANOTHER DESCRIPTION.
CHICAGO. July A Tritans Louisville
special says the weather was very no. to-
day. and the track heavy from last nights
rains. The cheers were long and loud
when the two horses were led out. Walker,
the best rider. on Ten Brock. and Hanson
riding tho California mare. The race 10
we'll described In the press dispatches.
The mare was under . steady pull, while
Ten Brock Was doing all be could do TO

made. Il was here so plainly apparent
that McCarty had far the best OF u, that

three-mile post she began TO weaken. and
ct three and one-half miles her tongue
hung out, and she ran like Q tired dog.
while the horse moved freely and easily.
In entering the fourth mile, Hanson put
the steel Into the mares sides quite vigor-
ously for . final effort, but though
