Kenilworth, the fastest of Mayor Grants
stable of ~trotters, recently sold at auction,
is dead. and his shoes nave been forwarded
to the Mayor as mementos.
Kenilworth's record was 2. 1874, but he had
made o mile in a public trial in 2. 1874, driven
by the veteran John Murphy, who was his
trainer.
He was what is known as a 4" slayer, " and
if two-mile heats were the rule in trials of
speed. there is hardly q horse IN the country
that could have bested Kenilworth under the
wire.
John ]. Scannell bought Kenilworth at the
auction sale for So. 900, but sold him coon
after at a profit of 81, 700.
The horse was taken TO England and from
there shipped TO South America on the
steamer Advance. He died on the voyage.
Mayor Grant was informed Of his death a
few days ago, but has not yet received the
shoes, which were removed from the animal
before his burial at sea.
