MONTEREY, Mex, July 8, aa5.
To the Daily LIGHT:
As announced in my last letter
the bicycle and horse races would
be brought to close yesterday at
the Monterey Athletic race course.
All the big prizes were carried off
by the San Antonio bicyclists and
horses. Mr.. j. Waelder, of the
Alamo City, won the one milo race
in go premium, 400 OF. silver, and
H. w. Hale, the two-mile race, pre-
MUM 100 OF. 80 OF. to I'd, and % or.
to Sd. The third: race was won by
Leon Crowell, of Monterey.
HORSE RACING.
There were three horse races.
The first was by four horses from
the 18th cavalry of the Mexican
army, which attracted consider
able attention. The start was per.
feet, as the horses came up to the
starting point all together
and at the drop of the flag
they went of in q bunch,
but they soon strung out. The
next was q ! mile race. Two
horses were entered by prominent
Mexlcans, who put up considerable
money on them. General Pomposo
Campillo was selected judge, but it
did not require an expert to decide
the race, as the winner came in
several yards ahead.
The last race was the one that
attracted the most attention, as
there were some fast horses entered
and considerable money put up on
them, but the fastest horse did not
win. She came out third. There
were six horses in this race and
Susie d. won.
This wound up the races for the
Fourth of July week. The attend
ance was large. Many Of the most
prominent Mexicans were present
and took a deep interest in them.
1t is the intention Of the club to
have monthly races here during
the fall and spring.
