Salvador and Tenny Race for 1O,oOO--A
Graphic Description of the Contest.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Thousands VS.
tied Sheepshead Bay race track today to
see the great match race between Saliva
tot and Teany. 1t was perfect day in
June. Salvador put in the first appear
ance on the track. He looks in great
shape and the general verdict he was fit to
run for any purse. His sides glistened
under the rays of the sun, and as he gal
loped past the grand stand he was greet
ed by loud applause. Tenny was not de-
serted by any means, but his toilet was
made at his stable and the public did not
have chance Of inspecting him.
When the bugle blew the expectations
OF the crowd were raised to the highest
pitch. Race goers came down to see a
great horse race and their expectations
were more than realized. As each spec
tator awaited the start and glanced at his
card, he saw for the fourth event these
conditions:
Five thousand dollars each with $4,000
added by the club; to carry 1872 lbs; good
track; stewards to decide; one mile and
quarter. Saltwater, 122, Murphy, straight
3to 8; Tenny, 1872, Garrison, straight to 5.
The race was won as a pair canter upon
the track. Thousands Of eyes followed
the magnificent animals and admirers of
each horse cheered them wildly.
TWO NOBLE HORSES.
Grand specimens of horse flesh, they
are, both of them, and their riders ap-
pear like part Of the animals, so perfectly
they are fixed in their seats. Garrison
on Tenny, appears confident of winning
for he mods and smiles In satisfied way
at some of his admirers who chaff him.
Murphy, like the pink he Is, looks
neither to the left or right as he gallops
past the stand, but he wore ''do or die''
expression on his face. He smiles grim
ly as some one shouts: "No grand stand
finish today at Isaac! Snappers hurt one
when it comes to fight
AT THE STARTING POINT.
Now the racers are at the post. Cald-
we'll with bit Of red bunting in his hand
is waiting impatiently for them to get on
even terms so that he may come in for
no share of condemnation from losers.
He has not long to wait. There is sud-
den flesh of color and the stripe and the
red flash perpendicularly through the
dusty air. "They're off," comes in
chorus from thousands OF throats, and
then deep silence ensues as the noble
racers sweep by the grand stand with
Tenny on the inside.
"Phew! How they are going" says a
locker on. The dusty track seems to
fairly fly from under the horses, so ter
rife is the speed: Salvador is In front and
Murphy isajust rating him along. Garrl-
son keeps Tenny at the hind quarter Of
the Suburban winner ana watches his
dusky rival with anxious eye.
Around the first turn they sweep in a
cloud of dust and the same positions are
kept. Murphy is seen to urge Savaltor
as they enter the back stretch and like a
fash the long, rangy Chestnut opens up
daylight between him and his swayed-
hacked pursuer.. "Look at Salvador leave
him." shouts hundreds of enthusiastic
Salvador partisans. "Not much," answers
Tenny's admirers as Garrison let's out a
link and resumes his old position at Sal
vator's saddle girth. The pace is getting
hotter, faster and faster. The far turn is
reached with the pair still running SO
close and steady that a blanket could have
covered them.
A CRITICAL MOMENT.
Now the battle royal is begun. Stable
boys lining the fence on the turn can see
tho crack jockey take a firmer grip on the
reins. A grim look of determination set
ties on both their faces and they grasp
the whips firmly in their hands. On and
on they sweep and neither shows any
sign of weakening, as the enthusiasm Of
the spectators increases to the boiling
over point and sporting men and women
mount chairs and ratings to get view
Of the grand struggle. On the far turn
Murphy let out a link on Salvador and
the noble chestnut opens up gap. His
partlsans shout that all is over; hut Gar
rison begins to ride hard. "Look at Sal
.vator 90 away" shout delighted hackers
nf Hagin's horse.
Garrison redoubles his exertions, but as
