A RACE FOR BLOOD.
NEW YORK, July 29.--The event
Of The week 10 the racing world will
be the match between Longstreet
and Tenny for 5000 a side at Nor
ris Park today and the public will
know Just how fast Longstreet is
and whether his owner, Michael +.
Dwyer, Is correct in pronOuncing
the sturdy son of Longfellow a
better race horse than Luke Black
burn, George Kenney or Hindoo.
LoDgstreet has had a remarkable
string Of victories this year, but he
has not defeated FIRST olaG3 race
horse. Kingston Is in the Dwyer
string and the Brown horse has
been going great guns of late.
Kingston was beaten by Tenny In
the Ocean stakes on July 4th, but
Kingston was not himself that day
and 1t is idle to suppose that Long
street has not been tried with the
Brown horse. Tenny's owner is
fond Of good things, and certainly
imagines that he has the race as good
as won. The swayback's race In the
Brooklyn handicap and the form he
displayed in the metropolitan stakes
when Tristan, to whom he was con-
cede ! great deal of weight, came
along ard beat him out by narrow
margin In the fastest time for mile
aud furlong, are indications tina
Tcnny Ia 1891 Is as good RS Tenn
in 1900 who chased Salvador home
in the great match of Sheepshead
bay, when a mile and IA quarter was
run In 2:05. LongstreeL will not be
meeting Tulla Blackburn, Lizzie
Tanner or anything of that calibrt
| when he goes TO the post today, and
Tenny will have something more
than q lame horse to beat on the
same occasion.
