"a p,tt,pburr Look ON at the Race.

| frequently discussed the question as to which
| is the better race horse. TammsnT or Lamp
| lighter For two years the horses had gone
through the racing campaign at the prominent
| tracks OF the country. but had never met In 9
| race with the exception OF the Futurity al
sheepshead Bay in 1891. Both colts camc In
after the placed horses. although Tammany
was q stake winner that year. and showed
| that he was q race horse at two years old.
| Lam mplishter developed slowly and did not be-
gin to attract attention until late In the fall oil
| 1891. whom he began to show that he too. was
| fast and OF undoubted staying powers. Last
year. while Tammany was winning hch stakes
for three-year.olds, from which Lamplighter
was barred BY reason OF not being entered in
them, Lamplighter became famous through
winning handicaps from horses OF all ages.
Then horsemen began to talk about the
pair OF colts. regretting that they were
not pitted against each other In order to
prove which was the better colt. This
feeling was intensified after Lampliehter's .
defeat in the Suburban last spring. which de-
feat was the chief cause OF Mr.. Lorillard's
breaking up his racing stable and temporarily
retiring from the turf. When Lamplighter
was led to the block to be sold to the highest
bidder he showed moro spirit than any other
OF the dne lot offered. He was dangerous
horse to those in tho vicinity OF his heels. and
his eyes shone like those Of q war horse. Bids
ran up slowly until G. Walbaum. President Of
