A Race for a Bride (1911) Online

Two cowpunchers are in love with a girl. Jack is favored, and Len, stirred by jealousy, shows his hatred of his rival. The two men nearly come to blows. The government agent holds a race, open to all, the winner to secure the well-paying position of pony express rider. The girl promises to marry Jack if he wins the race, and Len does all he can to prevent this. The course is twelve miles, circular, over rough country. It is not a "chase," but a real race, with a score of cowboys thundering over the ground at breakneck speed, urging their mounts forward by whip and spur. Jack wins the race and a bride.

In an exciting finish of a long, hard race Tim wins a bride. The race is speedy and "Snowball," the horse he rides, doesn't lie down on his job of bringing Tim in. The girl's promising to marry him if he wins is not new in pictures, but that is not of great moment, for the race is the picture's feature. And it, and the villain's attempt to win by foul means, which was foiled by the other buys, who demanded fair play, make a picture with "go." The photographs are not good. One can hardly see the faces except when hats are off and the players very close to the camera. It is a picture that will excite the gallery. - The Moving Picture World, November 18, 1911
