KINGSTON, SALVATOR, TEANI.
A Grand Sweepstakes Between the
Three Great Cracks.
It VIII BE Run on the Monmouth
Track for a $50, 900 Pot.

Arrangements will probably be con-
cluded within few days for grand
sweepstakes race between Kingston, Sal
vator and Tenny.
This ia news that will make the heart Of
the racegoer palpitate with Joy. 1t seems
almost too good to be true, but neverthe-
less preliminaries we're arranged last
kht.
Where was slight hitch as regards the
distance to be run, but it is believed that
this will be arranged satisfactorily.
Secretary Crickmore and Mr.. d. d.
Withers have had the idea Of arranging q
meeting between these three cracks ever
since the last Salvator-Tenny match, and
1t was only yesterday that matters were so
far arranged rs to enable them TO let the
public have an mixing OF what was
going on.
ID. I. Pulsifer. owner of Tenny; Phil
Dwyer. Of Dwyer Brothers. owners of
Kingston, and Mr.. J. b. Haggin, the
owner of Sulvntor, met yesterday in Mr..
Crickmore's office.
| Mr.. Wlthers broached the idea Of
sweepstakes between the three horses,
and each one Of the gentlemen agreed at
once.
+" Now as regards distance ?" asked Mr..
Withers.
prefer mile race" said Mr.. Phil
Dwyer. -,
Mr.. Pulsifer, and matters looked rosy
until Mr.. Haggin said decidedly: % l will
not rnce salyntor at less than mile and
| nn eighth
Phil Dwyer said he was willing to 20 an
extra eighth, but Mr.. Pulsifer demurred.
They could not agree as to distance Just
then. but II is believed that Mr.. Pulsifer
will finally acquiesce and make the race
The money part of the race was not
spoken of, but it is almost certain that II
will be made for $4,000 q side. the Asso-
citation 10 add S15. 900.
This will make $50. 600 pot for these
| three cracks to race for and it will be o
contest that will draw people from thou
sands OF miles around.
The match, it is believed. was the out
come of the Dwyer Brothers assertion
that Kingston was the peer of both Tenny
and Salvador. There are many good
judges, too. who assert that the blnck colt
can easily defeat the brown son of Prince
Charlie and tho little swayback, but that
remains to be seen.
arc well known. Last year Kingston was
undoubtedly the best horse of the year.
aud his record Of 2.06l1 held good until
Salvador smashed 1t at the Sheepshead
meeting.
Several times Kingston ran mile races In
close to record time and always won very
easily. In his long races he generally
won by neck or n head. which was due
probably to the grand stand finishes Of
lsanc Murphy.
About the only two available jocks 10
ride Kingston in this great race are Marty
Bergen and Tony Hamilton. 1t is be-
lieved TINT Bergen is Hamilton's superior
this year in finishing, but he cannCt
equal the black boy when it comes TO
judging or making pace.
1t is probable. however, that Bergen
will get the mount.
Salvador has started three times this
J year. once being q walk-over. Twice he
defeated Jenny. once in the Suburban
aud again in q match rnce by q nose and
after finish that will never be forgotten
by those who saw ii.
Tenny has started o number of times.
but has only suffered defeat at the hands
of Salvador. ThoBe who saw the match
race say that Tenny would have beaten
Salvador in few more Jumps, but no one
knows how much reserve force Murphy
had in Salvador.
All three horses will go to the post in
the pink of condition, and it will be hot
race from start to finish. Indeed, on
Monmouth's straight course. the cracks
should come very near making the dis
tance in two minutes. At any rate it will
be grand race, and every one heartily
hopes it will be satisfactorily arranged.
