the skaters to enjoy the fun OF gliding over the

AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.
The English trainers think that no American horse,
OF the string now here is equal to running for some
time, and doubt whether Preakness will be In condi-
ton for Ascot His present weight is 1927 pounds.
When nt TO run he weighs 1000 pounds
WE DO NOT KNOW HIM.
English trainers however, lack experience OF
horses of Preaknesss stamp. He is bigger and
heavier. than those usually seen at Newmarket.
NOVEL CONDITIONS FOR THE NEWMARKET HANDICAP.
He was struck out OF the International Newman
ket Handicap by mistake the novel conditions OF
that race compelling owners to declare II they are
satisfied with the weight. This was overlooked in
Preakness' case, who was, therefore, dropped out.
ENGAGED FOR SIMILAR EVENT.
But he is engaged for similar race, In which he Is
made TO receive ten pounds from Lowlander, Bay
Final receiving twenty-six pounds.
BAY EAGLE AND THE DERRY.
Bay Eagles chance for the Derby Is SO hopeless
that 90 70 Is obtanable against him.
WHO WILL RIDE
The American horses WILL probably, be ridden by
the renowned Jim Goater, who rode Petrarch last
year.
FoRDHAMs PRICE
Fordham declines $4,000 offered by noble lord
for the first call on him during the season.
AMERICAN PURCHASES.
Mr. Stockwell, an American has given $1,000 for a
magnificent two-year-od colt by Blair Athol, out
OF John Days dam, and also $4,000 for colt by the
same horse out OF Crimson.
The latter is reputed among the best at Newman
ket. Both are now training at Browns, but are
likely to be sent to America.
PETRARcH PURCHASED.
Petrarch, first favorite for the Two Thousand
Guineas and Derby, has been sold to Lord Dupplin
for upward of $4,000, with valuable contingencies
His lordshlp has backed the colt Kaleidoscope, to
win fortune, for the Two Thousand Guineas, and
the general belief is that he bought Petrarch who
had the race at his mercy, to prevent his running.
THE STOCK MARKET.
The general condition ON the Stock Exchange is
unsatisfactory. The failures which have occurred
and the known weakness OF several large CONNER
cia houses constitute a source OF distrust and 1t
need not surprise the public II other great failures
occur. Much disquietude exists in commercial
circles and the recent faures together with those
which are impending, are likely to exert an i'm
portant influence hereafter.
FOREIGN SECURITIES
are reported heavy especially Turkish bonds. Ameri-
can etatties are likewise unsettled, although they
occupy the first place in the confidence OF the people
The report of Mr.. Cave, NJ. p, in connection with
the Egyptian purchase Is not regarded as satisfac
tory. A large speculative firm In this department
has already failed and 1t is not unlikely that others
viii follow.
PERUVIAN BONDS
are dun, owing to rumors that sgnor Aquiro, the
reported financial agent OF that country, is without
special power as representative OF the govern
ment. Hence Parisian bankers decline business with
him.
AMERICAN SECURITIES.
The feeling OF depression has extended to Ameri-
can as wen to English securities. All classes are
lower. Railways are dun, and Erie is quite neg
lected. Governments are lower in consequence OF
the discussion OF the four and half per cent loan
