EASY VICTORY.
The ractna M Csravesend yesterday was not Of a
sort that win 60 laundering down the ages. There
was no thronging In the araudstand. in the betting
ring or in any part Of the grounds. Boolunakers
were unhappy and hackers Of favorites geeful,
as five out OF six rst-choces crossed the finish line
In 'front.' one incident Of the afternoon that will
dwell In tfse memories Of all the defeat of Prince
Royal by Tristan. Coffee, Casey, II. Jones or the
Archbishop of York could ride Prince Royal better
than Garrison has been riding him since the Brook
Iyn Handicap. The Prince was well ridden in that
race, but since then he has been so messed about
that the poor creature must wish that he were dead
every morning when he wakes up. No one in these
DAYS ventures 20 dispute the truth OF the axiom that
q straight line is the shortest distance between two
points. II Is equally clear and equally certain that
Prince Royal in proper condition and properly ridden
Is a better raoehorse than Tristan. And yet the
shrewd ooterie behind Tristan land there has never
been shrewder turf coterie in any country In the
world backed Tristan with as much con-
udence as Prince Royal had broken all
four OF his legs. This coterie made him
the fsvorite TO the unbounded amazement OF most OF
the spectators, who knew that Prince Royal is the
better horse. Garrison kept Prince Royal In last
place for nearly three quarters of mile. ON the
lower turn in the last half mile Taylor. who rode
Tristan extremely well suddenly rushed Tristan into
the lead while Garrison sat gaping Prince Royals
back and dong nothing. In the homestretch CARR
son tried TO make up the lost ground, but he had al
lowed Tristan to get TOO long lead Taylor ontrods
him In this race IN style similar b that IN whcn NC
Laughlin can outride a stable-boy. If August Bel
mont had lived, and Hamilton had continued TO ride
Prince ROYAL the Prince would have had far differ
ent record this year.

Mr. puliter NAV well be afraid to run Tenny against

of him in a Buffalo hrpodrOme, for Longstreet Is 10
