MOLLIE MCCARTHY AND TENBROECK

Louisville, KY, July 5-When the drum
tapped the great four-mile race yesterday,
Ten Brock 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 was in front from the start. At
the first quarter they were side by side, and
going calamity on to victory. The half mile
did not change the position, and as they
moved onward the $4,000 spectators were
held in perfect silence. Between the half
mile and the three quarter poles the mare
got her nose ahead, and great cheer went
up, and then as they came past the string she
sgsin appeared in front, another cheer was
heard. The mare was running easy. Ten
Brock was being driven hard, and Walker
urged him more and more. In the second
mile Mollie seemed to be moving with such
ease and Ten Brock labored so hard that the
Kentuckians wavered by the thousands, and
the certainty of the Californian winning pro-
duced a dead silence. At the half post, IN
the second mile, Walker urged Ten Brock
quite hard, and Howen permitted him to
come up side by side Kentucky yell, such

ran past the three quarter pole, and coming
into the stretch Mollie Mccarthy brushed
ahead again, passing the grand stand half
length in the lead ''She will win sure, was
heard in all directions, and more confident

and made the pace so murderous that many
knew his bottom would have an effect ultl-

rapidly the distance separating them The

horse slightly, was ahead on the third mile

Although the mare defeat was now certain,
but few realized how far and how easy Ten
Brock would win. The queen of the Cal

the great Kentucky favorite distanced her.

and loud when the two horses were led out,

In entering the fourth mile Howson put the |

for final effort, but though the game little
creature responded nobly, she could not over
take the big horse, and just after passing the
81 mile pole, she seemed to shut up like
knife, and was soon twenty lengths behind.
One glance at the mare told the whole story.
The water was fairly running from her, and
although an umbrella was held over her and
cold water applied to her head and nostrlls,
it was with the utmost difficulty that she
