peveral thousand persons yeaterday, who went timber
to witness u second test of tbe c ipacitlcts ol the much |
taUcil ol mustangs ami tho endurance of their Mexican
rider, Francisco 1'rrrJto. The tusk set him wag that ol i
riding 145 miles in seven hours, commencing at noon, '
having at his command for the purposo twenty-live of
the thirty-six mustangs that have been stabled at
Fleetwood for some time. Ho accomplished the effort
in good form, by pluck and persevering
horsemanship, amid tt>mti!tuous excitement at
the finish, which found htm '.vitli Just two min
utes to b'.a credit. I'robahly t),000 people wit
nessed the race from the stauda within Iho enclosure
and hundreds besides contrived to obtain a fair view
from tho shaded Mopes ou iho north, adding by their
presenco to the plcture*qucnrss of the scene and on
livening tho occasion by their lusty cheers and vocifer
ous applause During tho raco no serious accident
occurred, though thero wero moments of almost wild
sxcltcmcnl when it was learcd that horso and rider
stood In eminent peril. Too weather was delightful
and the condition of tlio track oxcellotit. floTore the
start i'eralto moved about tbe little ofllce under the
stand, chatting with curious inquirers aud Stirling with
modest self-rcliauce, Be was dressed in dark riding
tr mscra, with long boots, and bad on a white shirt and
parly colorod riding cap. He looked tlio picture ol the
good horseman ho proved himself in tbe courso ol his
long and trying ride. There wero only a few hundred
persons present at tbe start. The hordes were stalled
In tlio shods to tho south of tho judges' stand, three
being kept continually under saddle in addition to tho
?nc with w hich I'eralto was making the circuit of tho
rack. Parker, tlio rider who rode tho mustangs ou
the day of the lira I trial against time, assisted in pre
paring tbe refractory animals lor their work, giving
iheni an occas.onal gallop to warm tb>Mii for I'eralto,
nrvd John It rancta, another Western man. assisted in
taming the flighty brutes. At a quarter before twtdvu
I'eralto mounted easily a well behaved white faced
torrol anliual, and, accompanied by Francis ou a man,
tuok a little preliminary exercise iu I tie neighborhood
ol tUn start mg point A moment beloro iliu start ho
rode up to the judges' staini and tried on a pair of
tnioked glasses, which lie had procured for himself, to
avoid, il possible, by ibis means a recurrence ol the
troiiblo which allotted 1'arker. After trying the
Itlasses. however, he look them off again, determined
to start without them.
Tlio Judges had taken their positions In the stand a lew

the gritt.v .Mexican's long and brisk ride. At oilier
points ou side tlio fence encircling the track crowds
also gathered, an J In .-omo places clambered on top
jf the fence, from which perch, ho a ever, they wore
dislodged by the police.
As the hour ol twelve approached, expectation wag
r>n tiptoe for the start I'eraito, still mounted, lin
gen u about tbe vicinity of the stand until a low
minutes beloro twelve, and then cantered oil to gel a
rutin.ng start. Alter going to the northward about 100
>ards, he wheeled his horse about in response to a lap
of Iho Judge's bell, and returning at a sweeping galop,
lot word to go In the nick of tune as he reached tho
itand, iiitssing tbo sheds at tho start. Tho first mtlo
wan not made in very good time, occupying lor Its ac
complishment 2:24??. At ita conclusion the ridor
changed horses, aud made tbe second mile in 2:22
Continuing on the same hone, in the same direction,
he made his third mile in 3:26>J. Parting on the
lourtli ini e he changed again, making tbe distaucc iu
*:'-0'4. With this horse he continued on hla filth
mile. Tho animal dashed lor the lencc in front ol the
sheds, but was sent on hi* course without losing many
fee tints, by tbe combined howls of half a score of stable
attendants, the waving of branches aud the dexterity of
lli>> ruler. I Ills mile was inailo in 2d>4. The soy
snib mile was rutliar alow; but the eighth, at iho com
mencement of which, on .1 fresh horse, I'eralto re
r.-rs'd his conrso and t banged liis cap, was made in
J:l",4. The tenth mile was one of the slowest up to
that time, taking up 2:60 in tho circuit. Tbe time occu
plcd in running ibo first ion miles was 24:44'4.
i'eralto was in uo Hurry about remounting, lie was
always spry and active, but consumed at tunes fifteen
and eveu twenty seconds ill eflectlng Ills changes,
which were <|iino frequent, as he rodo six ditleroui I
hor?es the first tcu miles. I'eralto rode several of the
dorses only one mile before dismounting and giving
them a rest, most ol them spun around twice, how
ever. and one three times consecutively, but the third
mile was made in such slow iimo as to dissipate any
notion be may have bad of pursuing 111 s course. The
fastest mile recorded was the twenty-third, which was
done in 2:12this being his thirteenth mount. Tho
lit lie horse that made mis lime lollowed H up with a
second one in 2:2!' The rider reversed hi* course on
the irack five times in tho first thirty inilei. Tbat

a dash or ono mile and a quarter; tbe sooond, two mile
heats, and the third, the Cincinnati Indies' Stakes, for
two-year-olds. The track was a shade better than on
the first day and tho attendance much larger than was
expoctod, owing to a threatening rain. Tho ladies
turned out la lorco and contributed their share of
cheers to enliven the sport. The first race had three
starters.
ONK Itll.K AND A qlARTfclt.
Frtnk's St. George drew tbe pole, Lewis & Co.'s
Lady Clipper second place, Grlnstead's Phylls on the
outside. At tho start Lady Clipper and Pbylis went off
together, St. George trailing, which he continued to So
to the finish. At tho end of the first half mile the Lady
was about a half length abend. Around the turn and
down the stretch Pbylis and Iwidy Clipper wero neck
and nock. Goto? around tbe first torn from the stand
the second time l'bylis drew away from Clipper and
looked as though sbo was the winner; bat Patsey Mc
Grath on the l.ady gave her the grand roll, and she
soon collared Pliylls around tho lower torn, and draw
lug away from her, oame home an oasv winnor. Tbe
mile was run in 1:49 and tho raco In 2:18.
TWO-MILS HEATH.
Tbe second race ?u ol two-mile beats, and was tbe
attraction of the day, from the fact that Brakesman,
the winner of the Nashville Cup, and the little chest
nnt mare Elemt wero to try conclusions over a half
mile track. The race bad throe oihor starters?Pres
ton, three years old, bv Planet, out of Miss Morgan;
Knapsack, the "bolter, ' and Viniagretto. Klemt was
the lavonte, selling evon up against tlie field;
Brakesman second choice. At (be start Klemi
went off witn the lead, closely pushed by
Preston, Urakesmau in tbo rear, evidently
waiting to run at tbo finish. Kleml continued to hold
her own lor tho Drat half mile, and going around* tbe
tain at the threo-quartcr polo Preston moved op and
took second place, tbe balance being all bunched.
Down tbo backstretch Knapsack was ordered to go
along, which he did, cud soon bad tho l.-ad by ono
length at the stand. At the finish or the first mile
[ Knapsack was still loader, Kleml second, Brakesman
: third, Preston .lourtb. Vinaigrette fifth. Around tbe
j turn and down tho Iwckstrotoh Klemi ran fast, so fast that
I Knapsack concluded to dismount liis rider and step
| out; which be did very handsomely, leaving the coldred
| Jockey in the dost. Klemi took the lead at tbo finish
' ol tbe mile and tbree-quaitiTs and won easily, bands
| down. Preston was second. Vinaigrette third. Brakes*
! man fourth and Knapsack distanced. Time, 3:42.V.
Srcottd lltat,?After the first heat Rlomi was left ont
In tbe pools. Brakesman was then lavorlio, with tho
I l'lsnet colt second choice. Alter a lew fklse starts
Vinaigrette went oil' with the lead, Preston second,
j Klemi third and Brakesman fourth Vtualgretto still
| held her own to tho tlnfch ol tbo first half mile, Preston
I laying close up and Klemi pulling bard.
1 Gams around the turn, Preston took tho
; laud from Vmalgrotte and continued In front
| to the llafe^ Alter running one mile and u half Eleml
I tonic sccfii.l place, and trout there home It was a fine
{ rou, out she couUi uot get to the iroiii. the roll beating
her lor tbo boat by half a ieugih. Time, 3:44
Third Heal.? In the pools alter the second beat the
! pair, Kleml and Preston, sold abont even. At the
| sond-olT there was no dltTereiic.? between them, ana go
ing under tbo siring the first time they wero dead
; locked, tbo coll ou tbo inside, t'p and down tho
! stretches and arouud tho turns the pair wi-re >ull
! looked, the ooit runmaa wide on tho turn. Klemi en
i desvorod to take tiie lead at tho finish of the mile and
a hall, but tailed In tho attempt. Alter passing tbe
ratio and threc-quartors oolU were bolng lor cert. Enter- I
iug tbo homestretch for tlio last timo It was hard to ,
' teli who would win, but about hallway down {
the bomosirotch the rider of Preston gave up 1
his pull atid Klemi barely beat htm tor the
neat. Sho won by a half length. It Is to I
,bo regretted that Mr. West's colt bad to run such a
'bard race, but he proved blmsoif a dead game horse,
and if this strugglo bar not injured him be will be a
hard colt to beat lor tbo first place in the rich Dlxks
.Stakes?The ibira beat was run in 3:49>i and was lbs

THE NATIONAL GAME.
A WATERLOO FOB TBI MUTTJiLfi.
The Mutual and St Louis clubs played the second
game of their series yesterday aflernoon'on the Union
Grounds, and the result was a Waterloo for the home
club, who failed to score a run. The pitching was of
the finest description on both sldos, and, taken as a
whole, tho fielding was good. Until the last inning the
St. Louis nine had made but one error (a dropped foul
fly by Clapp), but in the ninth inning they made two
more, and thereby were very near giving tne game to
their opponents. Of tho two ruua made by tho win- ?'
ningnina neither Was earned, a mull by Nichols giv- (
tug the first and a bad throw by Halliuan letting iu tho
second. For the setouth inning threa superb catches
ol fly balls were mado, one by Treacy, ot the Mutuala,
I one by Blong, ol the St. Louis, and another by Cuth
bort, of tho same club. Tho Mutnals slightly out- j
1 batted their opponents, but -their loose fielding lost
' them the match.

THE RIFLE AT CREEDMOOR
riJUT DAT OF THE BPBI.NO KBETIMO?THBBB
matches commn?the wixxim?th?
SHOOTINO.
Yesterday the range or the National Rifle Association
at Crecdmoor put on Ua bol.Uay as poet to tbe extent
o( a lew fiasa and flattered a welcome to competitor*
Id tbe opening matches of tbe spriag meeting. The
day was all ot pleasant sunshine and breeze that the
heart of man could wish; the fresh green of tbe uvea
delighted tbe eye, the Iratl globes of the saedtng dande
lion strewed the grass as witn trembling pearla, and
tbe short mellow pipe of tbe robia waa heard. Rifle
men are hard to please, ttiey did not positively atyeci
to tbe sunshine as tbey trooped down from the Creed
moor station lull of secret hopes aad mattered mis*
giving*; bat the delicious broese, ah, that was tbett
darllag dislike!
"Look at it," said oae, with a military
rifle on hit shoulder and a snoer oa hie lips, as tbooga
tbe wind was a drunken man. "Look at tt dipping
around from nine to ten o'clook, and rising and falling ia
puffs." General expressions of dlegast at the wind's
unsteady conduct was heard, aad they trudged Am
some minutes in silence.
TBS ATTCXDAXCa
was not so largo as on opening days of meetings gfta
erally, but this was, perhaps, lairly attributable to the
fact that there was no military match on tbe day'spro>
gramme. A number of the contestants arrived oa the
ball-past eight A. M. train, to get tbe advantage of a
little practice on tbe pool targeta, bat tbe majority ar
rived ?n hour later. Tbe old Creedmoor laces wen
visible everywhere In the throng, and friendly recog
nitions were exchanged for halt aa hoar, With the
usual interrogation,
"Been practising much!'"
"No, not much, just to get my elevations.'*
A great many new faces were visible, aad as then
wero princlply young gentlemen from other cldba,
who displayed no mean skill wlta the rifle, the spread
of interest In this manly and acieatiflo sport resetted a
welcomo prool.
Tbe balf hour between the arrival of tbe last batch
and tbe tiring of the gun to begiu was spent, as aaaal,
In fixing things, giving riles an extra rub, and hart
and there a bunch of doughty militiamen might bt
seen in a shady corner blackening tboir open sights at
the flaino of a candle, w bleu some oareful brother ha4
brought down In bis little bag and produced with all ths
air or one ot tbe wise virgins taking pity on tbe foolish
ones. These things completed, whatever time wis lefl
was spent in endeavoring to get a shot at the 2M-yai4
pools to gain some inkling of the proper elevation aad
allowance for wind. A tew sauntered over tbe new
butts in course of construction, which Mr. Rooaty, the
contractor, was to havo received an extra $100 for if bt
had them ready for the spring meeting. Mr. Rooney
cat sadly on tho grass and explainod to the inquteltiva
with Hibernian unction:?
?'You see. sir, my timber merchant disappointed ma
and kept me waiting for tour days," with a delight*
luily consequential emphasis on "my timber mer
chant" He understands his work, however, and tba
now butts, to bo devoted exclusively to abort range*
will rolievc a great deal ot crowding that hitherto has
interlered, on military days, with long rango practice.
TUB ors.
At eleven o'clock the tiring ol a brass field piece gave
tho signal to begin, and the marksmen, takinc tbett
assignments from the bulletins, went at once to tbelt
places before the proper targets lor the short raag?
match. Tbe shooting was on the whole aot so good aa'
In the same match at last year's fall meeting, the rifle
men, no matter what their general proficiency, not
having pickod up that line accord between eye aad hand
which only continuous practice can koop to tbe proper
standard. For instance, tbe winner ot the first prise,
Major Henry Fulton, who scored ill points, was the
only marksman attaining that count, while tbe winner
of tbe same prize last fall scored 32, with five riflemen
scoring 31 points each on his beeis. The wind gave
but little real trouble In this match, although a good
detl more was laid to its share by the unlucky than it
deserved.
Tho officers In charge of the match were Oaoeral
Woodward, Executive Officer; Captain Story, Statistical
Officer, and Major D. I). Wylte, Superintendent Of th?
Firing Points.

The Individual mid range match occupied the remain
tier ol the day. lu thii match the range* covered

military riiles shot at the first range, those naiag
special military rifles, that la to say, with open sights
and 49 calibre, the socond range, and those using the
last range were allowed to'use''any rifle," meaning

TXH HANDICAP MATCH.
A good deal ol Interest uiiaclteri to this match, aa II
presented the featuro of handicapping by distance la
opposition to lost year's handicapping by points. While
bearing out iu some measure the theory of Its pro
jectors. it demonstrated to riflemen the unsatwlactori
iiess ot handicapping altogether. The military rifleman
at the 600 yards i ange found that the wind bad freshened,
and was veering c nsiantlv, thus Injuring theircbanoea,
while the skilltil marksmen at the 700 yards range,
as tho winning scores attest, having once lonnd the it
elevation and wiudage worn generally able to " keep
on." Still the small size of tbo second close target, at
seen from the 700 >ards tiring point, caused the slight
est inattention to the wind and light to tell heavily
upon tbo scores. In a word, illipleatore waa general,
and that is scarcely the aim of rifle matches. Not a
single " lull score" was made. Below are the condi
tions and winning scores:?
