RACING CHALLENGES.
THE EAST VS.. THE WEST.
From the Turf. Field and Farm


The past season. in the annals OF the turf has been
fruitful with great events Tho future is also preg-
nant with hope The exciting incidents attending tho
meeting at Baltimore, where the representative race
horses of the East and West came together to meas
ure strides, inaugurated era OF prosperity.
How Parole the feet and handsome son OF Leaning
ton and Maiden lowered the colors OF Ten Broeck In
the great sectional contest Is now matter OF turf nus
tory. But the horses that contended SO gamely for
the palm OF victory have hardly retired 10 theH
stables TO enjoy few mouths well earned repose,
before Mr. Pierre LoriIlard, stanchest and pluck
lest of American sportsmen gaiiantly throws
down the gauntlet and proposes TO race next
season the Rancocus Stable against tho PICK
the entireouthwest An absurd and RIDICULOUS an
nouncement made last week by one oil our con-
temporaries the effect that Mr. Loriiiard had OIL
fered u match Parole against Ten Broeck Tor $4,000
q side, 10 run at Louisville next spring, at any
distance from one TO four miles Feeling cophdent
that Mr.. Lortllard had Gone no such thing, we ad-
dressed him a note requesting him to state II the ar
tcle referred to had any foundation IN fact Here

tuily, I. LohiLLAhD.
This is q manly Straightforward aud sporlsmanlke
proposition. Nothing else, however, was to be ex-
pecled from Mr. Lorillard. That he means what he
says acquainted with him will for a moment
doubt That il will be accepted ia behalf OF the
racohorses oil the Southwest we earnestly hope. The
2ur Field and Farm and tho people OF the country
would hail It's acceptance with delight aud APP
plause. Tue desire 20 witness such series oi
contests is shared by the sportsnen OF all The Slate
aud II they are disappointed through tne iukeMaIm-
vi the turmen oil particular sectol we Tear
they Will not bear Their disappointment cIceriuiIy
We know that Kentucky feels proud OF Ten broeck,
and Ia our opinion he Will again journey East wheh
the fea hered songsers OF The grove are warbng the
praises oi spring. 10 meet his peer upon neutral
ground in the presence admring thousands Mr. Lor

$50, 900 TO 0000 This IN itseii should Dc an IN
ducemeuL We do not wish 70 see Ten Brocck with
drawn without retral OF the issue BE-
tween himself and Parole. He had so astonished the
racing world that tongues were almost dumb
But he ceased be the pubcs IDOL when Parole ied
him under the wire ut Baltimore. After he has again

It Will be time enough 70 ask that nc be allowed TO re-
