Tho great three-year-old' remarkable per-

ia of the opinion that MIR Keene has the
horse of the century who, barring accidents.
will hold all rivals safe. That Sysonsby
would start in the cup event was foreeone
concl,sion some time ago. Trainer Rowe
brought him here with the expressed inten-
ton Of winning the Great Republic ana the
CUP and with the former event already under
his belt the Melton colt will go after the latter

Great Republic he did not break In front. but
as soon a. Nicol got ready to let him down
he showed the same old speed which served
to run Oiseau 3 eyeballs out In the first half
mile Then 1t was the same old gallop. On
the strength of this habtual performance,
therefore, horsernen are inclined to the belief
that Sysonby can outrun anything In training
IN the first half mile. after which he can be
taken in hand without fear OF defeat Even
such fast beginners as Hermis and Artful
are not excluded from the list. Hermis 10

Sysonby, II 1t becomes necessary to extend
him In order to 60 to the front. can run over
these star thoroushbreds as easily as he did
with Oiseau.

she is siad to be in magnificent condition.

fashion there was no longer any room
for doubt. The Cup event lie half mile
