The Waterboy and McChesney RAJ

Inc W@teFDNy ana McShcshcy N@So'
OF all the great contests Of famous
thoroughbreds in this country the
one set down for Wednesday next, In
which Waterboy and McChesney will
battle for the championship, is likely
to be one Of the most memorable. Those
who recall the sensational match be-
tween Tenny and Salvador agree that
even that far-famed duel will be sur
passed in popular interest by the race
OF day after tomorrow.
THE Championship Special as this
race will be called. will possess one
feature concerning which there seems
to be absolutely no difference of opinion
The two horses for whom it has been
arranged are the best Of their age on
this side OF the Atlantic. Every year
the turf has its idols, but almost in
variably the experts differ IA to which
of them deserves the highest honors
In the present instance ii is perfectly
safe to say that no one will dispute
Waterboy's title to superiority over all Of
new, he ia acknowledged to be not only
the greatest four-year- seen this year
on the Western tracks, but, we believe,
the best OF his age which the West has
ever produced Of the five races in
which he has started during the past
six weeks he has won three. and his
two failures are to be logically accounted
for. The first, when he was beaten by
head by Savable, was undoubtedly
due to the fact that he was badly inter-
fered with at the outset of the race; and
when he was defeated by John McGurk
in the Great Western Handicap. on
July /. he carried the tremendous weight
of 1874 pounds, while McGurk's impost
was only LOG pounds. At New Orleans
last winter McChesney was the star Of
the meeting, and he emerged therefrom
an unbeaten horse.
Waterboy's racing career. while much
shorter than that OF his rival, has been
not less impressive. In his last three
races he has done as they say. all that
has been asked OF him, having won each
time. 1t is true that only once, in the
Brighton Handicap, has he proved this
ability to carry big weight; but his per-
Torrance in that race was one which
distinguished him as a thoroughbred
worthy to rank with the fcetest Of his
predecessors.
Will McChesney be able TO reduce the
worlds record of 2O3 is for one mile
and o quarter, made by Waterboy in
the Brighton Handicap? Perhaps So.
But who knows that Waterboy isn't
even better than he showed himself to
be on that occasion? These are the
all-absorbing questions which horse
men and racegoers throughout the coun-
try would like TO have answered salts
factorily.
If the weather and the track are
g,od-and under no other conditions
viii the race be r,ln--the immense crowd
at the Brighton Beach course next
Wednesday will witness contest long
to be remembered. Will the winner be
Waterboy or McChesney? The East
SAYS Waterboy. The West says McChes-
new and we are told the Western en-
thusiasts have chartered a special train
to bring them here, that they may cheer
McChesney TO victory. Whatever may
be the result, when the judges give
their decision they will crown the king
Of the American turf.
