:eatnres, was run, the winner being Lord
b. f. Wheel of Fortune, with |
Joromandel second and Adventure third.
Of the nominations eight started.
On the same day, P. Lorillard's little !
brown gelding, Parole, won the Epson gold
,up, his fifth victory of the six races run on
English soil. From the fact that the race
was conceded to Parole, but two of the many
nominations started against, Achemist and
Primrose, neither of which we're able to
make the result doubtful at any time. The
value of the stakes was $4,2 200. Parole has
but one more engagement during the season,
which is for the great challenge stakes to be
run. at Newmarket, Oct. 8. Several of Mr..
Lorillard's 2-year olds have yet number of
including Papoose, sister to
Parole.
LoRILLARD's LUCK.
p. Lorillard's ssluck'' seems to have been
transferred from America to England, for it
is noticeable fact that out of all his horses
that ran during the late Baltimore meeting,
not one won race, though many were first
choice in the pools.
THE 5-YEAR OLD CHICAGO TRoT.
Speaking of the 5-year-old race here July
4, The Spirit Of the Times says: This event
seems to attract unusual attention even at
this early date. Speculation as to the winner
runs high. Every entry seems to have friends
and admirers. kentucky Wilkes is in fine
form, and has trotted mile-so rumor has it
lin 2:26 already, and has many warm
supporters. Donald is known to be fast,
but is being kept very dark. Do
BILE don't try them as high as is
usual with trainers. In Chicago there seems
to be many who believe the winner will turn
up in Blue Bull. Kentucky knows no
winner but So-So; but from st. Louis we
hear extravagant reports about the speed of
Kate Sprague. Very many astute horsemen
declare that this 4-yearold wonder can win
the race, if Morrell turns her loose. BY
those who should know she is declared a
greater wonder than her noted sire. A
prominent horseman of St. Louis says:
"Gov. Spragne was the only colt I ever
knew that was greater than the wonders
claimed for him, hence am prepared to be-
lieve in the wonderful performances of his
daughter"
DEATH OF NETTIE.
The present season has proved very un-
fortunate one, SO far, to both trotting and
running horses, some of the best of both
having gone wrong, either permanently OF
temporarily. The latest loss to the trotting
turf is in the death of the bay mare Nettie
record of 2:18. She was in prime condition
till couple of weeks previous to her death,
when she had the misfortune to pick up a
nail in theright hind foot.
LET THE BLUNT AXE FALL,
The Spirit Of the Times, one of the best
exponents of honesty on the turf among
American sporting journals, gives forth nc
uncertain sound, in speaking of the recent
action of the National board of review in the
Edwin Forest case. It says "The action o1
the board of review in these promises is o1
particular value because of the emphatic in
trusion which it contains to owners and
drivers all over the land, the frauds upon the
trotting turf are not only to be punished
when detected, but they are to be seriously
ferreted out, without respect to person, with.
out consideration of questions, policy, except
the grand one that honesty is the best poll
cy, whom the offense is there the axe will fall
Much has been done in the way of purifica
ton, but there remains far too much trickery
~ The punishments in the Edwin Forest
case have struck at the root of this evil, and
we anticipate that the immediate good re-
suits of the action will be exhibited in the
trotting of this season..

The Bob In0ersosl Reception.
To the Editor of the Globe.
The true inwardness of certain parties i
