Since the Brighton association made
arrangements with Mr.. Pulsifer for his
colt Tenny to make an attempt 10 lower
Ten Broeck's record at mile, in 1884
on a specially prepared track, he has
requested that the weight be altered
from rs pounds to 10 pounds. in order
that Rayon doris great son may have
chance of covering the distance in 1:39
fiat. This would eclipse Raveloe's mile
in 1894, carrying 107 pounds, and Ra-
cine's previous record of 1 1893 with the
same burden. Snip Donovan, Tenny's
trainer, was at Brighton Saturday, and
when asked what he thought about
the colts chances of accom-
pliShing this feat he seemed very
sangu inc. He said that TSnny could
do the first half inside of so seconds,
and that he was positive he could go the
last half second faster. In approach
ing a well-known owner on the subject,
he said he thought it was more than
probable that Mr.. Pulsifer's colt would
run the mile in 1:39, and gave as his
reason that the Brighton track has al
ways been kept soft and never allowed
to dry sufficiently to become really fast.
For this occasion, of course. everything
that can possibly tend to help Tenuy in
his endeavor will be done, and as fif-
teen years have now elapsed since
thoroughbred has run against time,
such an innovation will no doubt
be appreciated by the public.
1t is proposed to have three pace makers
one to help him in his first quarter.
another to take him along for the next
half and very speedy quarter horse to
lead him in on the last quarter. So con-
fident is Snip Donovan Of Tenny's ca pa
bility that he would just as soon do
without this assistance, and only rely
on his stable companion, Punster, Jr.,
to take him along for the first half.
Tenny is such a universal favorlte that
his attempt was the all-absorbing topic
In the stand at Brighton Saturday, and
when the little horse commences his
task Oh Monday, that he may come tri
umphantly out of the ordeal will be the
fervent wish of every one. Following
