of imported Prince Charlie and Salina, daughter of Lexington. 

 Except in two races as a green two-year-old, and once when palpably 

 out of condition as a three-year-old, he was never ])eaten, and at his 

 best he was invincible at any distance. Salvator was foaled in 1886, 

 at the Elmendorf Stud, Kentucky, and as a yearling was purchased by 

 the California millionaire, turfman, breeder, and miner, J. B. Haggin. 

 As a two-year-old he won the Flatbush, Maple, Tuckahoe, and Titan 

 stakes, and ran second to the famous Proctor Knott in the " Futurity." 

 As a three-year-old he defeated the best horses of his year, winning 

 eight out of the nine races in which he started, among his victories 

 being the Realization Stakes at Is miles, the Lorillard at IJ miles, the 

 Tidal at 1 mile, and the September Stakes, with 129 pounds up, at If 

 miles. As a four-year-old, Salvator was king of the American turf, 

 his duels with Tenny being the sensation of the year. With 127 

 pounds up he won the Suburban Handicap at li miles in 2.06^, and in 

 a match with Tenny at the same distance, won the greatest race in the 

 American turf history in 2.05. He again met and decisively demon- 

 strated his superiority over his great rival, Tenny, by beating him with 

 ease in the Champion Stakes at li miles at Monmouth. Later, over 

 the same track he started to lower the mile record made by Ten Broeck 

 in 1877, and accomplished the feat in l.SSJ, which is the champion 

 record of the world. Salvator retired from the turf with laurels un- 

 dimmed and in his prime. He is monarch of the Rancho Del Paso 

 Stud, in California. 



Of the race-horses of 1892 the champion two-year-olds are Morello 

 and Helen Nichols. The best three-year-olds are Yo Tambien, Lamp- 

 lighter, Tammany, and the best " aged " horse, Banquet. 



Morello, the winner of the $70,000 Futurity, is by Eolus, out of 

 Cerise, and is a colt with a history that reads like a romance. Morello 

 is the fruit of the first mating of Eolus and Cerise. The colt was a 

 good-looking youngster, but had bad hocks, and expert horsemen pro- 

 nounced him unsound, so that when Morello was led into the sale- ring 

 in the paddock at the Brooklyn track on May 17th, 1890, an auctioneer 

 could not secure a bid on him, and was about to w'ithdraw him from 

 the sale, when Bernard Doswell, of Virginia, bid $100 for him, and 

 amid the laughter of the turfmen who were present, secured the colt. 

 Morello was shipped to Virginia, but did not show well in his yearling 

 trials He was taken up after a month's rest, and trained so as to sell
