. Breeder and sportsman. Horses. <s TWENTY-EIGHT PAGES.. Vol XVIII. No 17. Bo. S13 BUSH STREET. SAN FRANCISCO. SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1891. SUBSCRIPTION FIVE DOLLARS A YEAB, ' L THE LA.8T FOUR-MILE HEAT RACE. Won by theVOld Reliable, " Poster, after a Fine Struggle with Rutherford. RidiDg on the cable cars through the thickly settled por- tions of oar city toward the Golden Gate Park, my mind wandered back to the time when the last foui-mile race was ever run in California—a little over fifteen years ago. How time flies! it seems the older we grow the faster the years roll ronnd.
