that Longstreet would have TO chance except on a

the private work of Salvador and Firenz and the
public gallop Of Raceand in a walk over have shown
indspuable that these three horses although
perhaps not quite up to the concert pitch that they
would have reached after two three races. not
too hard but just hard enough, must be considered at
least reasonably satisfactory. Prince Royal will
