In Its twenty-four years of running it lias annually been contested by Hie picked burses of the United States ami It lias never been won by oue carrying less than one hundred iounds, although the lightweights have several times been placed. The splendid Henry of Navarre carried the greatest weight to victory, of any of its winners and Pontiac and Kurus, at 102 each, represent the other successful extreme. It has been won but once by a three-year-old, Africander in 1003, and Imp and Beldame are the only mares in its winning list and Garrison is the only jockey that has ridden more than one winner of the great race, the record of which is as follows: Year.
