After the conclusion Of the great
race on the Fourth Of July, in
which Ten Brock distanced the
California mare by superior bottom,
the greatest excitement prevailed.
The gates were broken open and
hundreds dashed over the fence.
Nothing could stop the people
they laughed at the police. Old
man Harper was in tho weighing
room. He heard the tumult and
came out, grasping tho writer's
hand as he did SO, and crying, II
run my horses from eend to eend."
The crowd saw and heard It
pressed forward--Harper again
cried out as before. Wild hurrahs
for Ton Broeck, wild shouts for
Harper, and calls for Walker fol-
lowed. "Ill never run my horse
again; he SATISFIES me and he ought
to satisfy all, pipod Ten Broecks
owner. He was hemmod in by
hundreds. Suddenly two big
fellows, without warning, had tho
old man on their shoulders, and,
pressed on by the wild mass of
beings around them, they almost
danced up and down tho track,
he being on their backs still
circulating, ~ run from eend to
eend!" and once and while
throwing in, "That boy (WallSeO is
tho best in the country" Cheers
were given for Ten Brock over
and over again, as well as for
Harper and NYalkor. Tho crowd
seemed to forget tho prominent
part the trainer, Harry Colston,
played in bringing the horse to the
scratch

Whom interrogated, he said tho
mare had much speed and ran with
ease two and three eighths miles,
then letting down. She outran tho
horse, but he outlasted her, was
the pith of Walkers talk. The
mare yap easy her first two miles,
being under pull at times, while
Ten Brock was under excrtion
and had to be driven. The pace
on the stretches was quite fast;
around the turns, slow. Walktr
was confident ho would win ar d
based his success on the lasting
powers Of the horse, with keen
appreciation in mind Of McCarthy's
speed.
TEN BROCK.
Tho son of Phaeton, so slkep
and grand looking before the grand
event, was much distressed ON
weighing. His condition was much

good thing for him that he had n.

fully. Ten Broeck was famed.
sponged and taken to his stable.
whence shortly he will leave to take
position in "Harper's Harem,' as
it were, the old man having nc
name for his Woodford county
farm. Ten Broeck will never run
again, and his value for breeding is
something immense.
MR.. WINTERS,
the owner of Mollie Mccarthy, had
little or nothing to say after Il Q
race. He attributed her defeat to
the track, and was very outspoken
in saying the mud did it. With
dry track Mollie would have won
easily, seemed to be the thought in
his minds eye. He pressed his
cigar hard, and said as few words
as possible.
MR.. WALSH, THE TRAINER,
was, though generally very quiet,
trifle more communicative after til.
race. He did not think he ha6
been treated we'll, and accredited
defeat to the mud, like Mr.. Winters.
Mr.. Walsh said he should have
been allowed TO run on the insid,
track of the course, which was

pointed out her condition after the
race to prove it, she not being
near so much distressed as the
