That is a long way off. anil before the fateful day arrives -trange and unexpected changes in the form cstablMied by the leading candidates in their racing when two-jrear-oUa may lie wrought. For this there IN abundant hi-torieal precedents. Cut taking the Derby -ituatiou as it now exi-ts. it is quite -lire that if future books en the big race were now open in Kngland public nent meat, based on la-: years racing, would make Tetratema the favorite, with Pilate Galahad Becaad choice. Both are splendid and undefeated celts of ultra-ta-hioaable breeding. Hut th te i- a "spider in the duinplii.g" in each ea-e. In Tetratemas it is doabl whither he will stay the Derby route. In Priace Galahad** i hi that his third dam is the American mare High Feather, by Henry of Navarre. Neither objection -coins incriioiious at this time. Only the rcvibition of aclual racing can determine tin- truth or fallacy of tie- matter. The really areigbty thing is that both colls did cver.vlhiue they were asked to do in the meal workmanlike style imaginable. Tciraicma made his first public appearance in the valuable Breeders 1induoo Stakes Bl Sandowu IarU July IK. This he wen by four lengths from twelve oapoaenta. Then in lainnma he won the Mole-eeinbo Stake- at Goodwood. Ch.mpagne Stake- at lioiic.i-ier. Imperial Produce stakes at Kempton Park and tin- fanuais Miodle Park Plate at New market. All of these important raics lie won in the same iuh oinproini-ing fa-hion. off by hiin-elf. by fr loin- to six lengths, except in one case, when le- wa- held back under a hard pull to win bj a length. Since the Knglish two year old- of lllii wen of uncommon merit, ii i- obvious that Tetratema wa- n great racing machine last year.
