The herald., 1894-10-18

Betty Gentry never had show, but the
others went like team for the three
quarters, and at the head OF the stretch
the whips came out again. Mac took
his punishment like his great sire. but
the fllv broke two lengths from che
wire. and oven by running could not
catch the fiying gelding. Time, 2:lS1s
Betty Gentry Just got inside the bunting.
The performance OF Harvey Mac shows
him TO be a race horse from whom good
things may be expected. Mac. having
two heats, took the race and fret money.
FOURTH RACE.
The less that is said about the alleged
Eve-mile bicycle race the better. Nc
Aleer and Caatleman were placed st the
scratch. Lacey and w. J. Cowan were
given 80 seconds, Jenkins and Uhlbrieht
25 seconds, and Burke and Kitchin 15
seconds. The others than McAleer and
Castleman went out at once from the
loafed and aoldiered in q most disgrace
ful fashion. At the mile and three
quarters McAleer was going so slowly
that his wheel fell over. At the
three miles, while the others
were overtaken, and for the last
mile actually rode little. Uhlbricht
and Jenkins led alternately ell the way,
with the others punched close up.
About so yards from the finish Burke
made one OF his famous spurts aud ped
died away from the others, winning
from Cowan by a length, with Lacy
third. Meantime McAleer and Caste-
msn had ridden four OF the five miles.
A crowd which was not altogether
goodnatursd surrounded McAieer as he
came to the judges stand, and Castle
man came in for his share Of the guying.
In explanation Of the way in which he
rode, McAleer said that he had made
proposition to Csetleman before the
race that they should pace each other
alternate miles, and eaen take bis
chances on the final mile, that Castle
man had rejected his offer, and that he
did not propose to ride it out with Cas-.
tlemau without come understanding.
Castleman did not see ifs to explain
why he didn't at least keep out from
under the wheels.
1t will be remember that there is
bad blood between Castleman and Me-
Aleer over the recent 25'mile match
race, In which Castleman claims to have
been treated badly.
Pools were declared off and no time
was taken, but Burke was given both
the place and the time prizes, dia-
mond and gold stop watch, while
Cowan got the place prize.
FIFTH RACE.
The final event was q special trotting
race, best three in five, for purse Of
$400, between Klamath and Ottinger.
This race comes the nearest TO frees
for-sll trot that the melting will afford.
klamath was supposed to out-clsss
his competitor to such an extent that it
was specified that Klamath should draw
a high-wheeled sulky. and that Ottinger
should be hitched to bike.
This handicap added much to the in
tere5t Of the match, as there would have
been otherwise nc doubt as to its out.
come. AS it was. klamath sold at $50
to $40 at the pools before the first heat.
The horses got away well on the third
score. Ottinger as usual showed good
| speed around the first turn and up to
the back stretch. The pace was good
one, but Klamath kept his old-fas nionsd
vehicle we'll up. At the head OF the
| sLIctCu O5tiDkoE Stllt icuN Dub
| towards the wire Klamath commenced
/ his race. 1t was a beautiful finish, each
driver seeming to do his best, but the
king of the homestretch" aoon had
| Ottinger beaten, and came under the
wire in 2 ID, the fastest heat ever trotted
on the coast to g high-wheeled enlky.
In the second heat the horees got
away we'll. and Oitnger took his usual
laod al no hoa ntch
Klamath fell further and further behind,
until at the water tank he was four
| lengths to the bad. At the second turn
/ be commenced to crawl up, and down
the stretch there was another clipping
trot. But Raymond had lain back too
far. and Klamath. in spite OF the most
gallant efforts, could not catch his flying
competitor. 0ttinger came under the
wire, whipped out, first by half length.
But il the mile mad been few yards
longer the blackboard would have told
different story. Raymo may have
lost the heat through bad judgment in
| lying back so far, but there were strong
intimations that the odds of s25 to 81
| were not big enough to suit everybody.
Time, 2:l74.
The third heat started on the second
score, and was the same story of Ottingel
first to the second turn, with klamath
behind, but Raymond did not lie so fal
back as in the second heat, and was
easily first coming down the stretch and
all the way to the wire. Time, 2:lS15
1t was too derk at the conclusion o.
the third heat to permit the fourth
being trotted, and therefore the race
went over until today at 12 80 O'Clock.
There seems to be little doubt but
that one heat will be sufficient to decide
the match.
The 2:17 class trot on Fridays pro-
gramme should be one OF the best light
harness races OF the week with such
well matched horses as General Niles,
Altao, Irene Crocker, Bay Wilkes, Pasa.
