It was the morning of the interna
tional race, and the eve of Mardi Gras
as well, and the double excitement made
New Orleans busy by early dawn.
No more balmy and delicious day
could be remembered, even among the
many delicious ones that glorify late
winter in the gulf region. The soft,
fleecy haze over sunrise was nature's
pledge that noon would be clear, bnt not
too warm. The gulf bieeze crept lazily
up the river loaded with pilfered sweets
of the orange and early jasmines, fan
ning away reminders from those stag
nant ditche^which make sewerage a sat
ire in the Crescent city.
At the early restaurants, about hotel
lobbies, in the chaffer with intolerant
cabmen—even among the working girls
hurrying to early tasks—the race was
the abeorbing topic of talk.
It was a semi-military affair, being
under the patronage of the commanding
general, though not in his official ca
pacity. A noted horseman himself, and
a true lover of the sport, he had stepped
into the breach left by the failure of the
Orleans Jockey club to reorganize.
Still, as the race was to be run over the
old Metairie course, a small committee
of the older turfmen were overseeing its
details, perhaps to avoid violation of
their track traditions. But they had
refused with courteous firmness to act
aa stewards of the track. Their spokes
man had said:
“We go little Intc^/mblic now. most of
ns haring lost relatives in the war, and
the rest sympathising with the grief of
our friends. Our track and our ex
perience are heartily at the public's
e, general, but o*- inclination* we
1 beg to reserve."
So the general was fain to be satisfied:
and so he told them. However, be re
marked to an adjutant general that he
didn't understand thaw Creole fellows,
anyhow. And the blunt soldier's state
ment was literally true; for
commanders understood
bad the
ot*
The tricolor predominated large
ly, for the sympathies of the city went
with their race, and the count, besides,
was a rioted “crack” in gentlemen's
races. The l,teniian and British colors,
too, were frequently seen: and La Ve
ga's green and gold knot was shown on
many sides. But the colors of the Union
were nowhere to lie found. Few of the
crowd knew surely tho truth of the ru
mor they had heard: none know the
name of the champion of the flag; and
even had they, no time bad been given
for even the most loyal to procure his
colors.
Just* before 8 o’clock, however, the
omission elsewhere was made more point
ed. A landau dashed rapidly up to the
stand, followed by a couple of
carnages. The commanding general, an
aid and several ladies alighted, as the
sentries at l!iegates presented arms, and
passed into the seats reserved by the
committee. The general wore citizen’s
dress, but on the front of the Prince Al-
i bert, struggling with its buttons across
! liis already burly figure, fluttered a huge
knot of red, while and blue. And still
longer ones floated from the iwrasols of
(he ladies with him.
All eyes were fixed on the general’s
party aud followed it to its station, but
many a pair of lips curled into a smile,
jr something more meaning, and many
i muttered remark, generally in French,
referred to the lonesomeness of the Amer
ican rider’s backers.
Precisely at 8 o’clock the clear note of
i bugle out the air. In an instant it
Rilled the thousand tougues buzzing
like a world of liees in convention to
nominate a queen. A dead hush fell
upon the vast throng in stands and
jnarter stretch; the Issikmakers stopped
short, and the maskers jerked off their
false faces to see better. Every eye was
turned toward the stable gates, through
which emerged a group of riders, goodly
to see as they pranced down the stretch.
Count de Chavirac kept well in hand
j a magnificent blood bay, tall and long
] coupled and clean limbed, as warranted
by his pedigree. For L'Empereur's sire
bail twice won the Prix do Paris before
he was retired to the imperial stables,
and his dam had once made a good third
on Epsom Downs. A trifle too much
daylight allowed under him. but his
springy step and the power spoken in
his deep, flat flanks promised great speed
under pressure. The count's rather pro
nounced jockey suit of tricolor satin
shone in the sun, and from the rosette
on his cap flashed an immense diamond.
But there was nothing of the fop about
his pose in the saddle, his bridle hand
controlling—a trifle needlessly, perhaps
—every impulse of the noble brute be
neath him.
In peculiar contrast Capt. Hoyne-Cecil
rode by his side. A low blue rowing
shirt displayed the fair skin below the
tan on his brawny neck, and its short
sleeves showed the play of muscles in
arms fair ns a woman’s. Buckskin
breeches and riding boots mode up the
simple costume, topped only by a black
skull cap. His mount was a massive
thoroughbred, with keen, small bead,
and muscled front and rear like the
horses of Achilles, as he tossed a mane
like theirs from a neck rather heavy for
the fancy of a keen point judge. Hi*
chestnut coat was as shining as hia
neighbor’s, but the impression he made
was rather of stay and good power over
the hurdles than of peculiar fleetness on
the flat.
But France and England, as here rep
resented before tho grandchildren of
both nations, were u goodly pair to look
upon. And the couple following them
were little less attractive in their con
tract
Baron von Schlegcn rode a massive
roan, his great weight demanding even a
heavier hone than the rider for St
George. His broad, bearded face was
surmounted by a plumeless leather hel
met; a tight hussar jacket and breeches
Everett had risen from the general's box
and crossed the stretch into the paddock.
Leaning on the fence, wrapped in hia
long braided overcoat, he carelessly
watched the group; but his quick eye
ran over every point of man and beast
and inventoried their weaknoiseH with
the intuition of horsemanship.
An old troop captain of Everett's
brigade approached his commander at
the fence.
“ ^ Inch is the dangerous one ^general?”
he asked. “The Frenchman is favorite,
seven to four; Capt. Cecil second choice.”
“The Mexican,” Everett answered,
never moving his eyes from the horses.
“He rides. Chavirac'd horse is grand:
the man will beat him.”
“Is it known yet who ridea for ns?"
the captain asked. “It was a coned
shame no one entered soonen, general.
It warrants the sneer of them Creoles
tliat all horsemanship followed Jeb Stu
art out of the army.”
“The challenge is open until 8,” Dale
Everett answered quietly. “Lsee Cam
eron has Jonathan in the paddock.
Would you like to mount him and ride
for the First brigade?"
“Do you mean it, general?" The old
troojier glanced to where tbo sturdy
groom could scarce restrain a plunging
horse, hidden from muzzle to flank in a
light cover. “Would you 1(< me-steer
that horse fresh from the fields, over
these hurdles and that stiff w ater jump?”
“Wliat chance would he hove-against
those four, trained for weeks?" Dale
asked.
“Not a ghost of one with me on his
back," the captain answered. “Only
your hand could save him a distance.’’
“You old fox!” was the laughing re
tort. “You’re sure the home would
lose, but try to flatter me! Hang it,
Mosely, you're after the brigade adju
tant s boots!” And with a laiacli Everett
turned away, gave a final, steady look at
the group of riders, aud passed behind
the weighing stand.
Again the bugla sounded clear and
shrill as the four contestants turned at
the distance flag and galloped abreast by
the crowded stands. Then, as if from
one impulse in the vast multitude, rang
out tlie wild applause. BhnatB, clapping
of hands and stamping of feetunade rude
accompaniment for tlie mnsk-al pat of
dainty gloves and the rustle of waving
parasols.
Again the applause rang out as the
four riders iiassed the general's box with
whips at salute, and the grim soldier
rose and raised his hat Then checking
their horses in mid career Chavirac and
Von Sclilegen wheeled and frouted the
judges’ stand, dead silence again.falling
on the crowd.
For tlie third time the bugle uounded.
and Col. Campbell, the senior judge,
rose and read the challenge and an
nounced the conditions of the race:
“We, Philipiie Victor, count de Cha
virac, staff captain of the army of
France, and Heros, baron Von Bchlegen,
of the German lancers, as a friendly
test of riding, do challeutte all comers,
not professionals, to a race of one and
one-half miles, over hurdles and water
jtuniie, as decided: each entry to ride his
own horse: catch weights, no allow
ances, and no horse to have a record; the
prize to be one lady's nding switch, and
no rider to wager upon the resole race
to take place over the Metairie track.and
iuclosure not later than 8 o'clock on
Monday, Feb. 8, 1866, aud entries to be
open until that day and hour.”
Col. Campbell folded the document
and added: “I call the challengers:
Capts. Chavirac and Von Schlegen, such
are your challenge and conditions?"
Both bowed their heads—the German
silently, the Frenchman with the arro
gant words:
“1 made the challenge: I will ride'and
win it fairly!"
As the challengers turned towards the
gate Col. Campbell called out:
“Do any riders accept the challenge?”
Hoyne-Cecil rode, up answering cheer
ily:
“I, Herbert Martindale Hoyne-Cecil,
captain of her majesty's lifeguards, ac
cept all couditions, and ride for En
gland!”
“And I, Mannel Jesus de la Vega y
Cambral, ensign Tentii Mexican bat
talion, accept all conditions!” cried the
Mexican.
And tlie moment after the four rivals
were about the scales, where a young
quartermaster took their weights, for
form's sake only.
“Is there any other accepting this
challenge? All entries cloee at 3 p.m.,”
again called out Col. Campbell. He
looked uneasily at his watch; it showed
one minute left
No answer came, and Chavirac, turn
ing to the Creole near him, said:
“As I supposed! This Yankee Don
Quixote who would ride untrained
against me is Punchinello! Voila!”
Twenty seconds more of dead rilenoe;
then people began to turn their eyes
from the judges’ stand. It was evident
that the rumor of on American accept
ance was false.
Brilliant eyes flashed amused glances
under long black lashes at the general’s
box, where his brilliant ribbons fluttered
gnyly, and then their owners, caressing
the colors on their parasols, tnrned to
their escorts with that pretty little moue
that only the Creole woman can make.
All this for twenty seconds—time
enough, with opportunity,. to win a
woman or to lose a world! Then a clear,
sonorous voice, like the order to charge,
rang oat:
"Here!"
Round to front the judges rode a lithe,
erect figure, in white shell jacket, bine
breeches and red sash; a blue cap, and
riding boots fitting like gloves and seem
ingly as light, completing the dress.
The bone he controlled with light
hand wae a jetty black, hia ooat shining
like satin in the son and hia null head
tossing continually, ss though scenting
the contest and eager to begin it
Rather long limbed for absolute beauty,
hi* sixteen-hand height was enhanced by

lips was all the acceptance Everett re
ceived. As he turned toward the scales
the Pierrot wheeled upou his neighbor.
"Tiens. Diego!" he said, “our people
are only doing themselves justice. By
that scar over your pretty nose yon
served the Confeds? So did I. Let us
give him one good old rebel yell!”
The Diego smiled grimly and held out
a horny band to the Pierrot. In two
seconds the fainons "rebel yell,” started
by the two, echoed in its tierce wildness
from every quarter of the field, and even
around the general on the stand—the
same curdling cry that had swung tlie
tattered battalions over many an other
wise impenetrable breastwork, when
The iron clad hoofs clattered back into hell
