When asked regarding the report that Sir Barton, Man o War and Exterminator would meet at Kenilworth Park for a 0,000 purse. Shilling said that it was his understanding that the race was on and that Commander Ross had gone to New York to discuss with S. D. Kiddle, owner of Man o War, relative to details of the proposed meeting of the two horses. According to Shilling, it matters little if Exterminator is entered, as it was nearly certain that Sir Barton and Man o War would go. The race will be at a mile and a quarter, according to Shilling, and at a weight arrangement which will set Sir Barton to carry 129 pounds and Man o War 120.
