CALIFORNIA HORSES.
Their Supremacy Over the Product OF
KentnckK.


louisville Courie-.IorrnoI IpIv NM
Local plungers who have staked their
money on Kentucky thOroughbreds and
against the California cracks during the rae
ing season complain bitterly of their luck.
So frequently have the events been can
tured by stables from the latter State that
the question of superoriv between Cali
iornia and Kentucky horses has been
sprung. 1t is an open problem and admits
of an unlimited debate on either side.
Old turlmen agreethat climate is a potent
factor in the development OF fast horses.
All the California flyers exhibited east OF
the Rockies this season are noted Us an ex-
ceptionally lusty, vigorous kind. 1t would
prove i distressing blow 10 the pride Of
KentUckians should the fast record of their
horses be lowered by the swifter strides of
other cracks

PLAYED fatal havoc with the Eastern betters
are Tyrant. the sensational three vear-oId
OF Mr. Hagein, +. J. Baldwin's Jim Doug

wins ''lucI; when Lucky T. won the
Louisville Cup. 4 few did not think sn,
and played the stable for the horses. and
not for Tie GOOD fortune that is generally
supposed TO follow il. Numerous other
wins for the California people have at last
caused the believer in lhc superioritv of
Kentucky horses to doubt.
Tvrant had already become known rs the
greatest three-vear-old OF the wear when
Joe Cotton won the Kentucky Derby. "
