said after the Realization that he would win II Win
Montana Possibly. II Montana's improv amsnt since
the Realization is vast as IL was IN the torVeeht
hours Immediately preceding that race nothing In the
Iorard will be able to get within street OF hin.
But he will find 100 pounds little harder to carry than
lO7. There are allowances in the Lorlard. war
path, Pcssara, Stiathmeath, Foxford, NORWOOD, Nil
deer and Picmicker will in all probability be the Held
for Montana TO beat BOlerO may co. ana nc is now
ready for race something that could not be said OF
him on any previous occasion this season. Strath-
meath will stfp better horse than he was III the
Realization, and will be ridden differently. MI Bel
mont's nominations being made void by his untmey
death, Potomac is not eligible
The Lorllard is to be at Morris Park tomorrow
Mr. withers, in the kindness Of his heart mas seen
fit TO reduce the distance from mile and hall 10
mile and threeeghths. This reduction illustrates iorc
bly, the trend Of racing in this country. Inc III
cllnaton is to convert everything into dash or
sprint. BY and by the Lorllard may get down 10
q mile. Cup" and "Derby" are misnomers' we
sometimes hear veteran turfmen speak OF cup
horses but they are institutions of the past In
DAYS owners think it hardship to be asked to send
aged horses that distance All this is very unsatiS-
factory to the race-gOer who likes the great game
for the sport there is in it, but suits the specunto
down to the ground. lie would like twenty dasheS
an hour so that he could be betting all the time
These breathess bursts of speed reduce racing almost
to the level of the roulette wheel. AT the post
Therere of! All over. In line. WHO'S going u
win the next7 And ii goes.
There is no stake this week in which Kingston and
Tenny can meet. Kingston has no engagements, and
Tenny may win both the Long Branch and Shrewsbury
bandicaps The echoes Of the one-sided conflict OF
Saturday have not yet died away The race decided
nothing. Kingston has too easy time beating seinhs-
pacers over Futurity The next time ne goes
up against Tenny Hardy Campbell Will see that ne Is
not beaten OIL. He will have the Gravesend cyclone
KEYED up for few seconds Of real business Inc
result of the match for that what II announced TO-
made Michael Dwyer extremely unhappy
Il am sorry / started kingston" he SAID ~ woun
rather have the Ocean Stakes than the lhde-
pendence though 1t isn't worth half as much money
/ hated TO Kingston beaten. guess mes been
running too many short races"
Gle never did like this hin, anyway" Philip Dwyer
remarked al wish Eon had been here to run against
Kingston and Tenny Blame me If don't think he
would have beaten 'em bOth.'
~You seemed to doubt the statement that Tenny
worked Is miles IN 80 IL; you thought 1t was
q mile and q sixteenth" SAID a WelERnOWh utlIlor'
~That's so,s said Mr.. Dwyer a. couldn't believe It,"
"Well what do you think nowl'
Blame me IL I don't think he worked mile and
O quarter" H. ,,ouu
can you explain that
The first quarter in the Metropolitan Handicap was
run in "a seconds, the half in 49, the five furlongS
in :O2. Tournament made the pace with Clarendon
AZ his heels. That the fastest race ever run III
this country. Tenny ran the mile (timed by Wynd-
ham Waden) in / 81. In the ocean Stakes Ienny
ran the first quarter in "a seconds and the hall IN
10, the same gait precisely as in the Metropolitan
Then there came great falling Off The live furlongs
were seconds slower than IN the Metropolitan ana
the mile a IL seconds slower
John A, Morris saw something In England that he
has never seen in this country lie saw Gladiator
take up 1872 pounds in the St. Leger and run the rt
mile in / SO. That thirty years ago. This feat
is only equaed by Carbines for the Melbourne
Cup. He carried i40 pounds and ran the middle mile
In / SO salvatore race against time at Monmouth
was fine perfO NANCE the watches making 30 L.,
but he carried only 40 pounds. His greatest per-
Torrance was mile and q quarter In 2 :Oo, with IL
pounds up. That when he beat Tenny In the
famous match at Sheepshead Bay. These horses put
drag shame.
