Lon gstreet Marches y Mile in 1sl6-Two
Rits's Fast Move.

The weather was delightful yesterday morn
ing. and trainers took advantage OF It and
hurried their charges along, fast work being
the order Of the day at Gravesend. Longstreet
starting the ball rolling by working milo In
1:45.
This is the fastest mile ut Gravcsend this
spring. and II the book makers do not cry fulP'
1t will DO because the followers Of tho great
horse have lost heart. Five to l can be had
against his chances. and. should he go to tho
post on May 10. 1t is safe to predict that his
price will not be better than TO 5. especially
II tho field should not be large. Longstrect
does not like crowd. and is ut his best with
but two or three competitors.
The fastest move at Gravesend at less than
milo was made by Dick LIQUIDS Duke OF Mon
trosc colt Two Bits. This handsome fellow
went three quarters Of n mile In 1:15R. and
Loud has reason to congratulate himself upon
his visit to Kentucky last autumn. Dr. Has,
