applause. A few moments later Salvador
came, and as he passed in review he presen,
ted as grand an equine picture as was ever
looked upon. Both horses went to the end
of thehalf mile chute, and there were few
moments Of breathless expectancy.
AN EvEN START.
Then, slowly at first but gaining in speed
at every jump, they approached the starter
almost exactly on even terms. Down went
the red flag, and the battle of giants had
| commenced. Salvatore blaze now showed
in front on the outside and he was under
| double pull. For five furlongs they ran in
| this order Then as they struck the turn
| for home Garrison let out link on Tenny
and he shot to the front, getting a lead OF
| half length.
| MURPHY ON THE ALERT.
| Murphy was Watching him, however, and
did not allow him to get far away. He at
once sent Salvador after him, and as they
rounded into the stretch he was at the little
within three furlongs of home it was
pretty race. All of a sudden Murphy COM
| menced to ride Salvador, and a shout went
| up "Tenny Is beaten" 1t was true Tenny
had to acknowledge defeat When Muir.

and as Garrison did the same thing it was a
