BAD PAROLE
a Second Victory, which has Made
Him the Fav0rIte on the
Other Shore-LoriIIard's
Glory. and the Pride
OF America.

LONDON, April 22.-The American horse
Parole won the city and suburban handicap
race. An Epson correspondent, writing last
night, says: "Parole created such favora-
BILE impression on the minds of hackers
generally that the final quotation at latter
sails last night, for the city and suburban
handicap, was only three to one against him.
The favorite was Elf King, who was taken
at seven to one. Parole was one of the ear
lest arrivals at Epson, and did two canters
yesterday morning, giving great satisfaction.
On the Downs to-day the Americans cheered
loudly as Parole bore to the front the colors
of Pierre Lorillard. Lord Rosebury's four
year old Ridalta was second; Lord We'll
tons ix-year-old Cradle third. The last
twenty-five to one against Rldalta, and
twenty to one against Cradle. There were
eighteen starters. There was some heavy
betting last night on Uncas, another of Lo-
rlllard's stable, at one hundred to eight
against him, for two thousand guineas
stakes"
A good start was effected. Ridotto took
the lead, followed by Censor, Parole, Elf
King, knight of Burghlery, Attalus, Cradle
and Belphebe. When they fairly settled
down, Censor drew away, followed by Knight
of Burghlery, Elf-King, Parole and Ridotto.
As they came near home, Elf King headed
Knight OF Burghlery, followed by Censor,
L ~
Censor and Knight of Burghlery were beaten;
Ridotto had a slight lead, but was immedl-
ately challenged by Parole, who won easily
by length. Time-2:l6.
AMERICAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.
Under the above head the New York Spirit
Of the Times INDUCES in the following COM
ments and predictions on our Parole: mot
withstand:ng the persistent effort for week
past to have Parole sick, lame and sometimes
| klok klo,N,
have offered to let long odds that he would
never come to the post again, all caused by
too hasty publications, that horse yesterday
scored his hrst victory upon British soil. he
captured the Newmarket handicap in hand
some style. Indeed. from the reports
received by cable he was never troubled.
Instead of being out of condition he was in
perfect form, and was much admired at the
post. The field, however, was not a strong
one, and the victory cannot be a guide for
the city and suburban, to come off at Epson
on Tuesday next, for the reason that he
will meet not only larger but better field
of horses, and in that race he will have to
take up one hundred and twenty four pounds
instead of one hundred and sixteen pounds
| carried by him In the Newmarket contest.
On the day following he has two eDgagem 1nts
at EPSON, the great metropolitan handicap,
| and the Prince of Wales's stakes, the fist
two miles and quarter, and the latter one
Llilc. AiluOuku ne Will nave 10 pack duul-
| tIonal weight for winning the Newmarket
race this week in bJth of these contests, we
have had the utmost confidence that he would
| capture the metropolitan, and now have no
reason to change this opinion. We learn that
all the American horses in England, includ-
ing Duke of Hamllton's, Mr.. Sanford's and
Mr.. Loriliard's teams, except Duke of Ma
genta and Uncas, are in splendid health, and
several of them are very promising. Duke
| of Magenta Is improving slowly, but the bet
| ter judgment now is that he will never run
again, and if ever, not in 1879. Uncas is
lame, and the chances for America to win
| either the two thousand guineas or Derby are
by no means fatterinR. Uncas is said to be
lame behind, which is a bad indication, and
leaves speculations about him in hopeless
dark less. Indeed, the mishaps to Duke of Ma
genta and Uncas have, in a great measure,
removed the gilt from the bright future of
American horses on the British turf for the
present year"
