TENNY SALVADOR.
The Race Retween these Two
Great Horses
is THE TOPIC OF CONVERSATION
In New York Clubs-Both are in Good Form
Haggin's Horse is FavOrite
The Jockeys.


New York, June 24.-There are only two
topics which have been discussed in the past
two days IN the hotels and swell resorts of
New York. One of them is what will the
Due d'Orleans do next and the other matter
of interest is the great match race between
Tenny and Salvador which is announced to
take place at Sheepshead Bay on Wednes-
day next. If a person is anybody at all he
will either get complimentary ticket or
put up his dollar and half like little man
and see what all lovers of horse racing be-
lieve will be one OF the greatest races ever
run. Jnteres in the event is so great that
many believe the crowd of $4,000 which
saw the Suburban Will ppear as a gather
inc at National league ball game in
brotherhood town on rainy day in COM
parison to the number expected at the
track on Wednesday.
The race is to be one and quarter miles,
5000 side, $40, 900 added Salvador is the
| fayorite, though there will undoubtedly be
| lots of money on Tenny when the horses
| face the starter. There are those who
argue that as Salvador has no one TO cut
out the pace for him he is liable to be rated
along until the head of the stretch, and in
that case it is believed that Tenny can out
| finish him. The race will be quite as much
of contest between the Jockeys as between
| the horses. Garrison and Murphy are
great riders with different systems and
styles, and with horses evenly matched in
speed and stamina, it will always be a
question Of who will get home first. Gar
rison is essentially a tinisher. In pinch
when near the wire he can hustle a
horse as no other man can; and
Murphy, while not deficient in
finishing pow ers is prominent as a Judge
of pace and curiously enough, Wednesday
will see the men mounted on horses most
admirably adapted by nature to the pecu-
liar systems of their riders. Tenny is a
slow beginner, but marvellous finisher,
while Salvador, although possessed of a
fine turn of speed, is much better as racer
or runner from end to end.
Most of the trainers on the track are of
the opinion that Salvador will win, if he
goes to the post in good condition. His
trainer, Mat Byrnes, insists that he is the
best four year-old in the country and init
mates that on fast track he can break the
record made by that grand race horse,
Kingston. Isaac Murphy predicts that
Salvador will surely defeat Tenny, and says
he could have made better time than he
did in the Suburban if necessary.
AS for that, however, Ike looked pretty
well tired out and was breathless when he
rode back to the judges stand after run
ming the race. Those who pin their faith
on Salvador say that the Suburban was his
first race this year; that he simply needed
that race to put himself into condition for
beating the record.
Garrison still thinks he can beat Salvador
with Tenny. The Snapper has been
severely criticised for the way he rode to-
day, but his critics, now that they have
had time to study the race, are disposed to
be charitable in their comments on his rid
ing. Prince Royal succeeded in getting il
Tennys way and bumped against the sway
: back colt. The Prince was not in the race
in the finish, but if he had failed to star
Tenny would have without doub
e been closer to Salvador than he was
AS for Tenny, all the tipsters call him
low bred, homely COLT yet he has defeated
many of the beauties and blue blooded dar
f lings of the turf He is not pretty hors
in repose but when he comes rushing dow
the home stretch to the winning wire n,
animal in the country looks more like
S phenomenal racer than the sway acl
Y favorlte of the public. Some contend tina
q Murphy will start out to run Tenny off he
: legs, while others malntai that Salvato
will be held to await Tenny's pleasure.
S Tenny was given trial yesterday jus
