SHE COULD NOT HURRY HIM.
TENNY'S CANTER IN THE EATONTOWN.
r1REyM UNABLE TO MAKE HIN RUN AT ALL.


The rains Of Friday at Monmouth Park made the
track heavy, sticky and slow. and all the tlinc it
corded in the eight yesterday wa poor Tie
moisture under the surface brought about failure III

for exerting himself. The same time was made IN
the Tennv race at mile over the straight course

,oA pounds and Tenny carried 100 but If Tavston
and Tcnny were started in mile race together II
uould be advisable e. give Tavl>on al least furonS

not prevail upon the Queen of the Turf TO exert herself
In such a way and to such an extent that Garrison on
IoGny ever felt for instant the slightest anxiety
Tcnny can run. That's true. No one has doubted
that since SaNat0r beat him only short head at
