New YORK, Aug. g4.-1he Gec.sive man
ner in which Requital won the Twin City
Handicap on Saturday sets at rest for all
time the question OF class To which the big
colt belongs. lie is a topsaw yer, and Ameri
cans would gladly pit him against the best
of English thoroughbreds. st. Frusquin
was undoubtedly Il great colt before he
went " rong, bu There are many good judges
OF class who would go the limit on Requtai
to beat him.
II seemed to be only play for the three
yearold 10 vanquish Buck Massie on Sat
urday, and the latter has in S95 aud during
the present season shown that he is consid-
cradle OF a race horse in any company. He
has run a mile and quarter in 2:u5 12.
with l25 pounds up, and is considered one
OF the gamiest horses in training. Yet Re
quitai beat him in a gallop.
WILL NEVER RACE AGAIN.
Requital was the pride OF the late Col.
Thompson's heart. He was fond of One
Love, but he believed that Requtal could
beat her at any kind OF racing. He was also
sanguine that Requitai could beat any of tie
colts OF his own age. The colonel had
lcoScd forward 10 the racing season OF
1896 with great deal of pleasure. Daily
lie watched the development OF his great
pair OF three year o!ds, and when death
came he expressed regret that he could not
see them race again. He was reconciied to
go, but said: Il wish the Good Man could
have spared me for another year" Would
that there were more Coz. Thoinpsons ON the
turf today.
1t is almost certain that One l Love will
never face the starter again. Her trainer
is OF the opinion that she Couf be patched
up for race or two next year but the
tendon is So seriously injured that she
Will be retired and put To breeding. Mated
with Juvenal, she shOul throw a race horse.
The wurii knows that she was a good we
year-old, but nobody but her owners and
| trainers know how good i three year old
| she was.
The success achieved by the horses which
came to Sheepshead Bay from Milwaukee
| causes hnrsemen to recall the triumphs OF
the Saratoga contingent in former years.
| Back Massie, Souffle, George Rose and
| Muskalcnge all have won honors, and
| there are others to hear from.
GOOD SPORT PROMISED.
| There will be some goo sport at Sleeps
head Bay this week, and especially ON Sat
urday next, when Ogden and Ornament
are scheduled to meet in the Flatbush
| stakes at seven furlongs. The Flatbush
| stakes generally foreshadow, three-year
| old form, Requital winning il in 1895, and
| running the distance in :26 l-2. He then
went on and marked out the miie in bet
ter than $40.
All this with 115 pounds up, and it is
| safe to say that his performance will no:
be approached by next Saturdays victor
There was Some talk OF a special to bring
Ogden and Ornament together. but this
race shoul answer the purpose. a> it wolld
