THE AMERICAN TURF VS.. THE ENGLISH

From the London Post. .Jirne IL IL
The following match, which has been recently
made, WILL it is anticipated, determine the relative
Pretenslons OF the American and English horses
Mr.. H. Ten Brock has matched Prioress the rep-
resentative of the American turf, against Beads
man, the winner of the Derby The Epsom cham
pi0n, however, will have to meet Prioress 5 wears
od, at even weights. In the race for the Cesare-
witch last season El Hakim a three years old ran
dead heat with Prioress then four years old each
Strry ing ost. } lbs, and our turtles fancy that
morse OF headmans stamp, despite the great disad-
vantage at which he will encounter Prioress will
be quite capable of sustaining the reputation of
Enehsh horses. At any rate Cousin Jonathan does
better to enter with generous emulation into our
sports than to go to lOggerheads with us on some
diplomatic question. The terms of the match are
as under;

THE YACHT RACE AROUND LONG ISLAND.
To-day Is the day set for the grand sweepstakes
yacht race around Long Island, the first of the
Kind attempted by American yachts outside of
smooth water, and the commencement, we trust
of a new era in American Yachting.
The entries were closed Tuesday and are not nu-
merous, the owners of the smaller craft rather
shrinking from the trial. The list now stands as
follows:
SIiH. saLG. .''''''' schooner IL Meyicker
EayorltS' schooner. C. kingsand

The start will take place at ten O'Clock to-day,
from abreast the Club House, Hoboken. The course
will be through the Narrows, westward of the Ro-
mer Shoals, Beacon, via Sandy Hook and Montauk
Point, and home through the Sound. The first
yacht, OF each class, reaching Fort Schuyers dock
at ThrOg's Neck, is to win a prize. The entrance
fee is for fifty dollars, to form a sweepstake prize of
two equal portions for sloops and the other for
schooners. The allowance Of time system about
which the larger vessels have complained is for this
race abandoned, and vessels allowed to carry
what sail they please, and anchor when they choose
1t was proposed to lengthen the race bv taking a
stretch around Block Island further to theeastward
by twenty miles, and making the length of the race
nearly three hundred miles, but this project has
been abandoned, and the original route of Montauk
Point agreed upon. The whole stretch will there
fore be nearly two hundred and fifty miles, while
the length of the English yachracc around the Isle
of Wight is only about forty miles.
