REQUITAL FAR IN THE REAR
NO MATCH FOR HANDSPRING JUST NOW
so BADLY BEATEN AT MORRIS PARK AS TO
AMAZE EVERY ONE.

AMAZE EVERY ONE.
4 pillar of the turf fell with a crash yesterday.
Requital. winner Of the Futuri,y Of 1895 and the
Realization of 1896. was defeated dsmally by
Handspring that every spectator stupefed.
Nearly all the owners and trainers and jockeys
and other experts believed that Requital would ex
eel Handspring with supreme ease The owners
Of the Brookdalc Stable the trainer and all the
friends Of the stable. and in fact almost all the
turfmen of the country, looked upon Requital as
better than Handspring. Neither colt had been
seen in this year. and the two did not meet
last season But Requitars victory In the Reaiza-
ton was mastery that the great majority OF
racing men in all parts OF the United States held
the view that ReQuta in his best form could out
run and outstay every horse in America Perhaps
he can do It when the season has gone further and
when he becomes the Requital Of the Realization
once more lie was not ReGuital yesterday lie
was not a racehorse
Handspring had few friends at Morris Park AT
first the bookmakers talked about giving four to
five against Requtul but so much money came In
on the favorite and so little on Handspring th"'
the quotations against Requtal sank rapidiE.
When the pair went 10 the post Requital was al
2 10 in most OF the books, While 10 l.
and even better odds. were offered freely against
Handspring. Rarely IN the records OF racing mas
