II HURDLE.
Incomparably the best hurdle race ever
witnessed on the Cheyenne track was that
o. yesterday. 1t was a mile race with
four hurdles. The entries were Master
Kildare, owned by the Oxford Horse As
ISOLATION; Monte, ch. e.. O. G. Sutton;
Rambler, b. g.. O. G.. Logan; Adam, s.
g., Dan Hogan. When the horses APP
peared on the track, big. powerful Adam
o~vershadowed all of his competitors. Dan
Hogan was up and everybody who SON
trasted the horses put up Adam for a cure
winner. The other three horses were
relatively small and trim built. 1t was sus-
pected hat Monte, Kildare and Rambler
were not particularly swift but it was
generally believed that they were all
very clever at the hurdles. Adam was.
however. a prime favorite. Everybody
was taken with his appearance and he
looked as though he could just as readily
jump over a one story house as over an
ordinary hurdle. While it was very well
known what Monte could do in a fat race
it was not SO generally known what
he could do in a hurdle but
everyone who knew of his
capacity in the first named direction
backed him on general principle in the
other direction. Up to the first hurdle
the Tour horses see sawed back and forth
with no advantage apparent to any Of
them. All took the hurdle beautifully.
At the second hurdle Master Kildare
respectfully declined and dumped his
rider. From this point onward to the
third hurdle the race was entirely between
Adam and Monte with the chances ap
parently in favor OF the former. On the
back stretch Adam pulled right away
from Monte. He increased the distance
to about a length and a half by the tina
he reached the third hurdle and the ex-
element among tho spectators rose to
fever heat. But it was at this point that
Adam lost the race. He paused percep-
tibly before he rose to take the hurdle
and when he finished the leap Monte was
at his heels and gaming. When the next
hurdle was reached Monte was a necl
ahead. He cleared the hurdle clear
heeled. Adam following stumbled and
narrowly escaped a fall. He was pullec
together almost inst~antaneously but the
time lost in clearing the hurdles lost the
race for him and he was never able to re-
cover his lost ground. Time. 1859.
