THE FOUR-HORSE RACE

From "Black Rock"

1. The great event of the day, however, was to be the four-horse race,
for which three teams were entered--one from the mines driven by
Nixon, Craig's friend, a citizens' team, and Sandy's. The race was
really between the miners' team and that from the woods, for the
citizens' team, though made up of speedy horses, had not been driven
much together, and knew neither their driver nor each other. In the
miners' team were four bays, very powerful, a trifle heavy perhaps,
but well matched, perfectly trained, and perfectly handled by their
driver. Sandy had his long rangy roans, and for leaders, a pair of
half-broken pinto bronchos. The pintos, caught the summer before upon
the Alberta prairies, were fleet as deer, but wicked and uncertain.
They were Baptiste's special care and pride. If they would only run
straight, there was little doubt that they would carry the roans and
themselves to glory; but one could not tell the moment they might
bolt or kick things to pieces.

2. Being the only non-partisan in the crowd, I was asked to referee.
The race was about half a mile and return, the first and last quarters
being upon the ice. The course, after leaving the ice, led up from the
river by a long, easy slope to the level above; and at the further
end, curved somewhat sharply around the Old Fort. The only condition
attaching to the race was, that the teams should start from the
scratch, make the turn of the Fort, and finish at the scratch. There
were no vexing regulations as to fouls. The man making the foul would
find it necessary to reckon with the crowd, which was considered
sufficient guarantee for a fair and square race. Owing to the hazards
of the course, the result would depend upon the skill of the drivers
quite as much as the speed of the teams. The points of hazard were at
the turn round the Old Fort,
