Greatest of Race Horses Dead.

The death of Tenny, one of the most
famous race horses of the American
turf in Kentucky last week at the age
of % years finishes the career of the old
sway back. 1t is ar odd coincidence
that Tenny died only few days after
his great rival, Salvador, and at the
same age and both were owned by J.
B. Haggin. Salvador. the fastest race
horse in the world, defeated Tepny by
head in two races and their contests
were classics of the turf. Songs and
poems have been written about them
and many pictures painted. Tenny was
owned in his halcyon days by David
Tenny Pulsifer, who died in Denver a
few years ago. He bought Tenny,
which was by Rayon D'Or-Belle Of
haywood as yearling for $3.50 He
won big fortune by backing Tenny
when the colt captured the Brook lyn
handicap at a long price in 1891. While
possessing marvellous speed Tenny had
surly temper. He lost a stake to
Salvador by head merely through sulk-
ing and he was subsequently beaten by
both Salvador and Longstreet in matches
for the same reason. He lost by a head
eacn time. Now with the great de-
preston that has come upon the thor
oughbred industry it is doubtful if
these two stations will ever be re-
placed so far as popularity and merit
are concerned. 1t was largely the con
dition of the times in which they lived
that gave them the opportunity to de-
velop their greatness. Their names will
forever live in the hisrory of the turf.

there until 1903, the club realizing that this time to look for q more suitable tract of land to make their permanent home the result was that in the fall of that year the present ground at Oak Park was purchased, and the Country Club of Montgomery incorporated
 "The club at this time laid out very fine nine hole course 2,927 yards long. It was thought by every one interest ed In the game that this course would accommodate the Montgomery golfers for long time to come, SO popular did the game become. however, that in the summer of 1907 steps were taken to lengthen this course to eighteen holes. Work to this end was begun in the faY of that year. and the present eighteen hole course, 6,004 yards long. with a bogie of seventy-seven yards, was opened for play in April, 1908 This course is conceded by many to be the finest in the South.

K. J. Chambers Receives Word That the Big Racing Machines Were Badly Damaged During the
 New Orleans Meet

Word was received yesterday by R. J. Chambers. one of the local business men who are backing the automobile speed races that are soon to be held here. that the date for the meet would have to be put off. owing to damages. sustained by the cars in their work at New Orleans during the races there. The message received is as follows: Dear Sir:
 Owing to the fact that some of the cars we had for the Montgomery meet were disabled and put in bad condi- tion on account of the hard driving du- ring the New Orleans meet. I think 1t best to postpone the races in your city for few weeks. I have the greatest drivers in the world billed for Mont gomery. and I don't want to como there without as good a bunch of cars for them as we had here.
 You doubtless read of the wonder full racing we had here. and that in the 100-mile championship event, the record was lowered eleven minutes. The winner of this event will drive a car in the Montgomery meet and will endeavor to reduce the time for tho distance again. st any rate, no one Will miss anything by the postponement...
 w. H Pickens. Manager.
 In reply to this communication MT Chambers acquiesced in the delay and sent a new contract to the motorists manager allowing him to choose a date some time before May 16.

The fact that the annual meeting of the Southern Golf Association will be held in Birmingham today. makes the following from Jno. M. Inglis, the manager of the golf course at the Country Club, doubly interesting. The value of MT. Inglis' services to the Country Club can hardly be estimated. From comparative obscurity he has by his energetic perseverance brought the golf links at the Country Club to a place among the foremost in the South.

Major D. M.

 He was closeted with Assistant Post master Henry Irwin throughout yes- terday and there is no doubt, but from that source. he acquired the knowl- edge that he sought.
 Major Scott left for Selma last night armed with blanks, papers. and all else that belongs to the routine of conducting a postoff1ce. He tells of the prospect of Selma's new $125.- 900 postoffice being occupied within a short while.

 The administration is anxious that there shall be faithful observance of the provisions of the treaty of Portsmouth and no impairment of Chinese territorial integrity or any de. nial of her interests here.

ACCIDENTS IN SELMA
TWO FIRE ENGINES IN TWO CoL-
 LISIONS.
Nh One Ia Hurt and Property Not Damaged Seriously-News Of the Central
 City.

Selma, Feb 25-(Special.)-In an- swerinr an alarm turned in from Box 31 at 1 o'clock this afternoon two Of the fire wagons of the Selma ire de- partment were in slight accident. Neither of the accidents were serious and both engines were quickly put back in condition.
 When the alarm was turned in tho chemical from the central station went out of Franklin into Water street and started towards the fire box. In going from one street into the other the turn was made too quickly and the tongue of the chemical wagon struck against a pole on the corner. The harness gave way when the pole was struck and for that reason very little damage was done to the fire wagon and the horses were not injured.
 About the same moment as the hose wagon from the East Selma station was turning into Washington street from Alabama d collision between the fire wagon and a country wagon oc- cured In this collision the country wagon was damaged while the fire wa gon escaped.
 The fire proved to be in the Weaver home at the corner of Water and Lau- derdale streets. The blaze was on the roof of the building and the fire had started from a spark from one of the chimneys but it was quickly extfn- guished and before much damage had been done.
