Salvador and Firenzi in his stable for Alr
Haggin, he also had Fitsiames The last
named was a cracking good horse, not a
selling platter, but pretty nearly good class
stake horse You couldn't have bought
him for $4,000 aud yet Byrnes ruined him
as a race horse aud did it knowingly.
Salvador was free runner, but he
wouldn't get down to business without
something alongside Of him and Fitziames
was selected as his training mate in Saliva
tors four-year-old form II was Fitziames
that would travel with him when he was be-
ing prepared for his Suburban and for the
match with Tenuy.
In all his trials Fitziames chased him.
Now, Fitziames wasn't a dog he was
good racehorse. But Salvador could and
did always beat him in the trials He got
10 know after while that try with all his
facing might he couldn't beat Salvador, and
finally he stopped trying When they
would hook him up with the big chestnut
he would loaf along and pay no attention
to business. His racing heart was broken.
Finding that he could not beat Salvador
took his nerve out Of him and he got the
idea that he couldn't beat anything. Result:
Fitzjames was not worth thirty cents
as a racehorse after Salvador had taken the
curl out Of his courage, Fitzjames is but
one Of his kind, and many fair horse was
been ruined in the same way.
Tenny also learned of defeat from Sal
vator After the fierce rivalry between
these two, il was a queer dispensatiou of
fate which took them both to the Rancho
del Pas0, ia California, for stud purposes.
The pair had boxes adjoining in the stallion
barn Many visitors go to the ranch to see
the horses, and when the stations were led
out for inspection the head Of the process
sion was always given to Salvador. Behind
him always walked Tenny.
One day twenty-six Of the stations were
taken to the Sacramento race track for ex-
hibitior at the state fair When the long
line was being formed for parade around
the race track, Salvador, very much in love
with himself, promptly took his place in
the lead. The boy who was leading Tenny
dropped the bride rein by accident and
Tenny spraug away from him.
Every body expected a stallion tragedy,
but he didn't get nasty at all He merely
walked over to the procession and took his
place in the line behind Salvador Ten
thousand people saw him do that and he
got cheer for his recognition of his posi-
tion as the second fiddle in that affair
Habit may have made him do it, but memory
possibly might have assisted habit in the
matter
A great many people believe that Tenny
was a better horse on the day of that famous
match than was the winner, and they argue
that had not Tenny on the upper turn,
backed his ears and looked over to where
his stall stood open, he would have won.
Possibly so. But what made him do that2
The circus man could tell you. He didn't
like the game he was up against, and he
longed for the protection of that stall and
made bit of a fight to go to it. In other
words, TenuY was being carried so fast
that he wanted to go home and lie down
That is one sort Of intelligence
Fred Taral, who rode in Australia with
much success, rode one Of his brilliant fin.
ishes one day on Pedestrian at Washington
/ Park in Chicago, which Pedestrian never
| forgot as long as he was racing aud ii
| Pedestrian still lives, he nurses blood feud
against the "Dutchman" which will never
be forgotten.
Hankins and Johnson we're racing fast
two-year-old hlly named Annie Mayes
George Leighy had old Pedestrian. He wa.
( as fast and game a sprinter as there was il
the country in his time. There came along
/ a condition race at Washington Park IN
which Annie Mayes got in at SO pounds and
4 Pedestrian was asked to take up 126
/ Everything scratched out except these two
! The distance was six furlongs
Of went Annie Mayes from the flag, and
! with that feather on her set pace at which
nothing could live. She ran the first hall
mile in about AZ seconds, and was a city
block in front Of Pedestrian, when the lat
ter turned into the stretch
Everybody had lost interest in the race
when Taral figuring that the 6lly must die
at the clip sat down on Pedestrian and be
gan to ride. For quarter Of mile he did
to Pedestrian such as never boy did to a
horse under him. The hlly died and Pc
destrian won by a head
And Pedestrian never forgot that He
wouldn t run yard for Taral afterward anC
when he heard the sound of the Dutch
mans" voice he organized for a fight.
One day Taral had a mount in a race OF
another horse. Pedestrian recognized hin
at the post and went clear around the field
to get a chance to kick at the boy. That
another sort Of intelligence.
