SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-Charley Neil,
on behalf of the owner of Beaury Nc,
offers to back that horse against the
stallion Mckinney, owned by Charles
Durlee OF Los Angeles, for 5000 or S10,-
OOo aside, and if Durfee puts up the coin
In time the race will probably be ar
ranged to take place during the Trotting-
Horse Breeders meeting, which will
commence here on the 18th. Beaury Nc
beat Mckinney at Sacramento, but the
latter beat him handily at Stockton, and
1t is believed that race between the two
would induce the Trotting- Horse Breed
ers to add at least 81 900 to the stake.
NeiPs offer is not confined to Mckinney,
but will apply to any trotter that has APP
peared on the California circuit this year.
VALLEJO RACES.
VALLEJO, Oct. 12.-There was great
attendance at the track to-day and great
racing. The unfinished race of Tuesday,
three-minute class, was won by Smith S
Dallecan in 2:4S4, Chapman's Vaca being
second and Rush's Wood third.
The second race was for yearlings, mile
dash, between Crabb's Eyraud and Mil
!er's Fred A., and was won by Eyraud
in 3:159.
Then followed the first heat of the great
race that drew the crowd. Plunket,
Belle Button and Turk Franklin came
out on the track in the pink of condition.
They got the positions in the order
named, with Plunket at the pole. The
second score brought the three celebrated
horses almost with their noses in line
under the wire, and they got a glorious
start. In the second quarter Plunket
broke and lost hundred yards. Belle
Button took the lead, closely followed by
Turk, and with the exception that
Plunket received enough to save his dis
lance, the horses raced through to the
wire in the order named. Time, 2:l98.
This time was a surprise to many, as a
strong north wind was blowing.
The second heat was paced in 2:174.
There was not a murmur in the vast
crowd as the horses went around and not
g single break. The three were in touch
of each other from start to finish and
came in: Franklin first, Belle Button
second and Plunket third.
Franklin was now the favorite in the
pools, selling at SIS to Sl3 on the field.
The horses got another fine start in the
third heat. Franklin got dead in at the
quarter, closely followed by Button and
Plunket two lengths behind. At the
halt-pole Plunket passed Button and the
three flyers lined up on the homestretch,
and 1t was a great race to the wire, Plum
ket breaking within hundred yards of
it, Franklin winning by about half a
length in 2:17 amid the cheers of the
crowd.
Piunket was the favorite with the
ladies, for when he won the fourth heat
there was cheering and waving of para
soils. Judge Horns announced PUNK ct
as the winner of the heat Button second
and Turk third, in the derogatory time
of 2:25. The horses took their positions
in a,-fp toi, ,a1 r hn
without skip all the way around. After
the heat the judges stand was besieged
with a protest that the race was not being
paced square, the buyers of Turk Frank
lin being the loudest in their wall. The
time was slow enough to indicate that the
heat might have been Jobbed.
The horses were brought out for the
fifth heat, and Captain Harris read them
positive lecture from the judges stand,
cautioning the drivers to look out for the
consequences. All of the drivers were
fined So each for delaying the race, and
the admonition to drive for the heat was
received with cheers. The judges warn
ing to the drivers had a salutary effect
The heat, while not the fastest, was the
best of the five. The horses got a good
start, spreading in the second quarter,
Turk in the lead. He broke and was
passed by Button and Plunke EFT, and on
the backstretch, in one, two, three order,
about two lengths apart, the horses went
into the homestreteh and punched, but
did not lose their positions. They come
in as one horse, at each others shoulder,
in 2:lS, amid deafening cheers.
The last heat was equally exciting,
Plunket showing great speed and win
ming in 2:19, taking first money, Frank
lin second money and Button third.
The race gave great satisfaction.
The programme for tomorrow has a
free-for-all race for big purse, and the
races promise to be equally as exciting as
to-day.
