Horses and Horsemen.

Horses and HOrsemen.
Tenny, according TO late report, is by
no means the hopeless cripple that ne
has been described, but he is by no
means the horse that he was last season.
Trainer Donovan still has hopes that he
will stand the preparation. he taxes
some satisfaction even with Tenny In
the fix he now is In the reflection that
call Of them that went boss racing with
Tenny remember it, and there amt any
body got one so far that run any &C
count after takin' trip with him.
Speculation on the spring handicaps
is more lively now, according 90 the re-
ports seat In, than at any time in sever
al seasons past. says Black and Blue In

Jay Bye See and Sun0l both held the
champion t-ysar-o.d records and each
secured the worlds record FOR trotting
afterward.
There seem. Co be reasonable grounds
f.- the belief entertained Ia some quar-
Ter, that Fred 5 Wilkes will prove one
oF the sensations OF the year. Ed GeerS
will train him aud "a loves him like a
sweetheart
10 seems 90 be the general opinion
that Nancy Hanks could beat Sunol in
an actual race. But as Bonner will not
start the latter except in a contest
against the watch there seems to be no
chance 90 prove the truth OF the queS-
tiou.
The present year is likely to prove a
sensational one in trOtting circles. The
stables OF all the notable drivers are
full Of great trotterS and horses that
are destined TO become great, and II
Father Time is not baniShed before the
leaves fall again the old fellow will have

20 stay at the front.
The 4-year-Old colt BedOuin, 2:2S !,
that took the record over one OF the
Blue Grass circuit tracks last year, and
has since been bought by Forbes, the
Boston millionaire hOrSeman, we see
has been matched against the Alcyone
colt Nopenset dam Betty Bump. The
race will be trOtted az the New England
breeders meeting.
Frou Frou, 2:25l4, now two years old,
has won more heats inside of $50 than
any other trotter OF her age. She is
credited with five winning heats inside
the standard mark AthadOn, 2:27, is
second, with three standard heats to his
credit; Bell Bird, 2:26ls, has two win
ming heats 10 her credit, and Freedom,
2.29 4, has one.
Kingston is fast recovering from q
thorough "Setouiug" He is very big
vet and may not see the park before the
Gravesend meeting.
Longbesch, the three-year-oId brother
of LougStreet, is n much better colt
than the champion was at his age, ac-
cordiug TO the New York sporting
writers.
The winter books are reported a.
being full" on May Win, u fair TO
middling selling platter, who would have
90 improve greatly in order 10 win a
race at Gutenberg. Still, il people
wish TO pay for their fancy, there is no
law To prevent them.
Terrifer has been backed of the
boards i'm the future books on both the
BROOKLYN and Suburban. The plunge
ON him was made with an amateurish
eagerneSS which discounts it as a line.
Matt Allen says that Rey del Rey is
the pick OF his basket That may be,
but the general impression is that York
vile Belle and Fairview are the best he
has in his stable. Rey del Rey wins too
seldom 10 be more than fair class per-
