the track: that It seemed TO crumble and give way
under the colt; that Tournament did not appear To
be able 10 get strong fOothod, was at loss III MS
stride and therefore unable 70 show his best speed
But this is lame and impotent excuse. Torso
has always been notorious this year for inability
10 run In the mud. In fact. az Morris Park In the
early half Of June on muddy track he ran race
which would have dhgTaced a selling platter IN the
earliest DAYS of GuttenberI before that track rose TO
the massive and radiant eminence of having a dis
tnguished bOokmsker its president. and number
Ing among lis stockholders some Of tho leading
bankers and real estate men of the lower part OF
Manhattan Island. II the track did rot suit Toura-
ment. who won the Realization In mud. who was
never at loss in muddy going. why sho'ald II have
suited TcrsO the winner, any better. Mud and the
unsettled surface OF d new track afford a similar
uncertainty of foothold. No. Mr.. Hayward will
have 10 seek FOR a better apology for his collapse
than this.
After 50 bewildcrng and paralyzing q runaway race
as Tournament made in the Realization, he was o,
course the avorte in all tie betting on the Lorllard
Al the opening II not difficult 10 get 20 against
him but when the horses went b. the post the ruling
quotations were 10 .. Eight ran. Nj. Wthcrs
wisely concluded TO withdraw his colt King Eric who
fast enough At mile but who has business with
animals tina, stay AT all at u mile and half. The
second choice Burlington. After his triumphs In
the Brooklyn Derby, the belmont and the Tidal II
would have been strange indeed If Burlington had not
been second choice in such field this. BIT Burl
far from being the Burlington of the Bel
mont. lie was as thin a crow, and yOu could count
the poor fellows ribs one by one. and hang hat If you
liked on any one OF them The changes Of trainers that
have been made with this colt, the policy of starry
ing him, which practised for tmc have
wrought their fell work, and Burlington, who had
been able to give 1o pounds to any horse that met
him at Morris Park except Judge Morrow, could
hardly have won the Lorllard Stakes If he had
been In receipt Of concession of IL pounds from
three or four Of the colts that beat him.
Mr. scott was the only owner who was repre-
sented in the Lorillard by more than one horse.
He sent TO the track Torso ridden by Garrison, and
Banquet with Lewis in the saddle, Padi,hah carried
Mr.. Belmonts cOlOrs. Protection was sent on from
tle West at a considerable expenditure 10 run last,
and any one who supposed that this winner Of the
Junior Champion OF 1850 had the least chance In
the LOrilldIu OF logO on dry track would
BE- a fit subject for all aSy Inn for the
feeble-minded and imbecile Bergen rode Sir
John for tho Dryers. cir John was never In It.
Anderson was on DevOtec.
HAYWARD Tournament. and that was exactly
the thing which beat Tournament. Pain words are
best There is nothing to be gained Oh the turf or
anywhere else by beating around the bush, or by
hlnts, nsnuations, or by iusiuucndoes. as the
South Carolina col0red statesman In the old Recon
Z had
ment IN the Lorlil4rd he rode him in the Realza-
ton, senator Hearst would have added tho Lorllard
70 the Realization in the list of his laurels
this year. Hayward said before the race
TO one 81 The owners of DevD;ce that he
proposed to 90 out With Tournament and
the first mile in ~. II he had kept his word or
had done anything toward keeping nj, word 70
the time Of the first milo Tournament would have
the Lorllar. But instead Of doing he muddod
along In front Of Ids field a. slow rate. with pace,
no speed, without fairly extending the colt contcnting
himself with keeping The lead without forcing The going
or making the field behind him hurry hasten. II
was reported not many days ago that Hayward had said
that Tournament Wa the equal of The Bard. Prob
ably he never said anything Of the sort. If he
did say so, his brain must have been added
at the tine. Tie Bard was d great
horse that would stand pressure, that would stand the
whip and the pur, that would stand horse running by
MS side Tor mile Yet verify Tor mile and half, for
TWO miles, iJr three miles for four miles, for ten miles
30 II might be. Tournament is big colt, with an
enormous amount Of muscle, with no small endowment
OF speed with considerable quality. and Of no mean
ability in his way. But Tournament ba, a heart far
smaller thlI the size Of the average mustard SEED and
TAR fainter than the horns of Elf land family
blowing If the poorest horse now in training
should run alongside Of Tournament for few rods
oy the utmost eAerton Of bis feeble powers he might
W aDe 70 force Tournament to quit. Hayward knew
IL.
'niN Tic has ridden tlic colt often enough. Hence
u was MS pam duty To get at least six lengths in
'front.' OF the field IN the first mile "a, he did in the
heahzauon Then he would have won the L0rillard
easily enough. But he did nothing Of the sort
