so great was the change in his form, and for
a three ear-old came out as fine looking
a horse as ever graced the track. He never
trets at his post, starts and runs easily and
trains with docility. Few horses have ever
been so long on the turf and kept in such
condition. He has been handled in way

mind that he could not be beaten, whatever
his condition was, and though he refused to
accept challenges to try his horses mette
with that of Ochiltree and Parole, he finally
accepted one to run him againt Parole, over
the Pimlico course at Baltimore. Ten
Brock was in very poor flesh, and Parole
defeated him easily. This was on the GATH
