The Proposition to Show the Thorough
bred Qualities of Tenny.

New YORK, August 15th.-The Sun SAYS:
When such an effort as is proposed for
Tenny to make comes so rarely, it comes
with all the more refreshing interest for
turfmen, who see in the cultivation OF
thoroughbreds something more than to
supply material to make close finishes and
exciting contests. Not since Tenbroeck's
memorable performance have we had an
opportunity to again take our bearings in
the horse world, and learn, as satisfactorily
as possible, where racer to day stands in
comparison with his ancestors. Tenny's
engagement to show, on August 20th, how
fast he can run over the standard distance
of one mile promises to be an event of GER
tain value to the breeding industry, and of
very great interest to the observant public
At four years of age, with lis pounds, he
will undertake to do what Tenbroeck did
at five carrying ITO pounds but it is safe
TO say that he will start a favorite over
time. Though he cannot, in the manner
of our modern gunboats, add thousands of
dollars to his owners pocket by knocking
off quarter-seconds indefinitely, still every
quarter. second cut off below the line of
success will add doubly to his fame. In a
fgurative sense this trial of Tenny's sug-
gests the only field where he and Salvador
can ever dispute honors again. Salvador is
to day the racer of racers. He is the best
beyond denial, but there still remains
certain unsaiisfied curiosity 10 see Saliva
tors measure, and since no rival on the
track is ft to take it. the only method is to
have him take it himself and show how
fast the leader of the turf can actually CO.
Will now Haggin round off the active ca
reer OF this noble beast by setting him
also at the task of proving the extent of
his thoroughbred powers?
