the mount of Salvador while Snapper"
Garrison rode Tenny.
Salvador Wins Suburban.
The race was nearly a dump, as
the lightweight Cassius. ridden by
Fred Taral, rushed early into a long
lead and reached even the stretch with
a clear daylight between him
and his closest competitor. That con-
tender was Salvador, who, however,
gradually wore down the lead of the
outsider, and, after battle royal in
the last furlong, won the race by
short neck. Tenny ran third, but was
beaten three lengths. Garrison excus-
ing his defeat by claiming the son
of Imp. Rayon dor had sulked at
various parts of the race. This state
ment caused D. T. Pulsifer, Tenny';
owner, to banter j. B. Haggin for q
race at the same distance, each horse
to carry 1O2 pounds equal weight. Tie
owner of Salvador was agreeable .
such a proposition and the two great
horses met in their famous match one
day over a week later.
The race was for $4,000, each ha.f
profit, with $4,000 more added by the
Coney Island Jockey club, all to 20
to the winner. The bcokmakers made
Salvador the favorite at 3 to 5, but 80
persistent was the play on Tenny he
never advanced over 10 to 10 in the
betting.
Tenny was beaten that day, but it
was his sulky disposition that again
caused his downfall. Time and again
Garrison tried to get him to extend
tn rr,sf to-, ,k~f1x IL,
lance of Salator, on which Murphy
was riding like demon every inch
of the way, but it was not until the
stretch was reached that the sulky
animal made up his mind to try.
Great Finish OF Match Race.
No greater finish has ever been seen
on the American turf than Salvador
and Tenny executed that day. Both
the Jockeys displayed the nest dext-
rous and artistic skill. Inch by inch
Tenny drew up to Salvador, but Just
failing to reach his opponent, the YER
dict was in favor of the Haggin horse
by a nose. The admirers OF Tenny
have always claimed in these two
races he would have beaten Salvador
but for his sulking, while on the other
hand, the friends of the son of I'M
ported Prince Charlie say it was the
latter's brilliant running which made
the Pulsifer horse show his ugly dis
position. The time of that race, 2:O5,
was the American circular track rec
ord for mile and quarter OF that
day, and even now, in the age of i'm
provement in tracks, it would rule as
brillian performance. The fraction
al time was: First quarter, OPS, three
furlongs, O:37A, four furlongs, O:49H,
five furlongs, 1:02h; six furlongs,
1:14A, seven furlongs, 1:27A one mile
1:39M; and the mile and an eighth in
1:52A. The record of these two mon
archs of the turf, including the times

Good Looking Colts.
Both great horses were foaled the
same season, twenty-one years ago
The two colts which cause revival
OF "reminiscences OF these two turf
kings are the chestnut colt Salover,
and the bay colt King Tenny. Both are
2-year-olds. and each is co!ored like
his sire. Salover is tho produce of
young Hanover mare Over, which is
member of the famous !-4vity family,
