Very Fast Horses and Racing Notes From 1889
The 1889 racing season is well underway with bids to match previous years. Spokane defeats Proctor Knott twice, Exile wins the Brooklyn Handicap, and Derby and Clark Kent results are noted. A New York boat-trunk innovation and Captain Tynan’s windward yacht Elizabeth receive attention alongside young athlete Granville P. Quinn and pole vault records in Swarthmore and Montreal.
