KingstOn's succession of victories, unbroken, with

the notion of his nvincibny that he will be sent to

heavy. Kingston never was fond of mud. though in
sloppy going ne is entirely at home and has won
numerous races None can get away from the fact
that he is regarded as the fastest horse on the
American turf. and this opinion is based
solely on his public performances. 1t will always be
regretted that he and salvador never met. Perhaps
there was little lodging on both sides. Mr.. Haggin
was willing to make match at mile and a quarter
and no less and the Dryers were willing to make is
at a mile and one-eighth and no further. There was
ALWAYS an eighth of mile that kept the two champions
apart should Tenny have the good fortune to defeat
Kingston to-day, the result would put the monarchs
crown firmly on salvador, for Salvador beat Tenny
every time he met him.
