and Senorta may meet in the NaveSlnK liahdlcap
at Monmouth Park 10 morrow. As the distance Is
mile and a half the race will probably be run on the
outer circular course II James Rowe accepts the

The handicapper could not have given him pound

won in a walk having Reporter, EuruS, Badge
and Tristan behind him. 1t not clear on that
OCCASION however that Reporter. Eurus and Tristan
were perscvered with. Badge ridden out as well
As FLYNN knew how ride him out, but Prince
Eoyal had no trouble in giving him fifteen pounds

Uandicappcrs well the racing public always
imagined him better than he was. and the little
fellow was required 10 carry burdens that many
luser horse would have shrked but he always did his
best. and earned we'll the title OF " Honest Little
Badge" Though his associations have at times been
bad. his reputation is Sponcss.
The water that Tcnny has been drinking since his
removal to Monmouth seems TO have disagreed with
him seriously. His Indigestion has been 50 bad-why
shouldn't be put that way as to cause his temporary
retirement Even the men employed around the stable
have suffered the cause and they are now
drinking water we'll thickencd with oatmeal. More
over, the water used by both men ana horses IS
boiled effect has been to restore The general
health Tenny may not be in condition for hard
race over distance of ground, in which event Mr.
Pusifer Will not think of starting him. If the Little
Giant" goes the post he will be good enough to VIM
and with only 1870 pounds up he will be the vorte IN
the betting.

understood that both she and Salvador 10 be re

Hayward asserts that Tournament at his best is as
good as The Bard Well, If Hayward MS right or any
where near it. Tournament fit well meant and good
enough they pu on te other side will give the
King of the Turf task tllat will keep him busy on
Champion Day. Haywaris extravaSant and exalted
estimate of Tournaments capabilities is not shared by
majority of the best informed and shrewdeot judges
of racing The colts form in the Realization was un
queSuonaby high, and on that alone he would &c |
serve Inc would take lofty rank but II is not In human
nature Judge horse his best form when his |

been believed In and persisteuy followed by legion Of
spectators. They have shoveed their money him |
in after al all sorts OF prices and after each
failure have consoed themselves with the hope that |

followers to their losses, for it will be rcmem
bered that he warm favOrlte over the field news
of his great trial the preceding day having spread
through the turf world. Hayward bet $1,000 his |
that race rather farce for the Realization
Of 500 was no race, only an exhibition. The veneer

close enough TO challenge Tournament in the stretch,
"for," said he al wanted 10 show Mr. Allen and Mr.
Clark and all the friends Of the stable how
great a turn Of speed the had and
how much he held in reserve; but they couldn't get
near him and he walled in" In the race for the
Iorillard Stakes Hayward knew the colt was not
at his best yet his faith strong that he bet
much larger sum him then than he had wagered
in the Realization. How Torso won the LoriiloId

he now thinks Tournament a better colt than Bur

Cooper notwithstanding his faults, is able trainer

Cooper fails where his race has ever facd-in the
conduct Of large enterprises. He once trained an
important division of the IiagGn Stable, containing
fast horses, but the only he succeeded
