matches. The question of supremr " is
settled now and forever. The more infata-
ated of Tenny's admirers can say no more
after to-day's race. Salvador and Tenny
were the only starters for the Champion
stakes, at mile and half, and they car
ried the same weight-122 pounds each.
Pulsifer and his trainer declared that
Tenny was in his best condition, and
backed him freely. Garrison said before
starting that Tenny was a sure winner.
There was no lying back on Tenny's part
this time-no waiting. He went out with
Salvador from the fall of the flag, and ran
with him stride for stride for mile and
quarter, but during all this time Murphy
was leaning back in the saddle on Saliva
tor, keeping the king of the turf under a
gentle pull.
They came into the home-stretch head
and head. Tenny had the rail from the
start. He had every advantage of position.
He was ridden as well as Salvador was
ridden. There can be no excuse or apology
of any kind for him.
In the home-stretch Garrison began
riding Murphy remained unruffied and
unmoved up to the final furlong. Then
he called on Salvador and the champion
shot away from Tenny with such rush
as made Tenny look like common selling
platter.
There was no contest. Tenny could not
keep pace with him.
The turf verdict is DOW made up. Sal
yator is probably the best horse just now
in training in the world beyond any ques-
ton. He is the best horse in America to-
day in training.
Garrison was asked by a well-known
horse owner if Tenny sulked in the race.
Garrison replied, mo, be did not sulk; he
ran as we'll as he could, but Salvador can
beat him any time, from the distance of
toad's jump to the Rocky mountains"
