THE AMERICAN RUNNERS IN ENGLAND.
Tho enthusiasm created among American
lovers Of turs sports by Paroles three victories
in succession in England, was sadly dampcncd
by his bad defeat in the great Chester Cup We'd
nesday, when he ran unplaccd in a field of ten
horses. That this defeat was solely due to
temporary ailiment uniting him for such
struggle. just at trat time, aud not to any in
herent weakness in the horse, is found in the
fact that tho very next day, with an added
impost of ten pounds, he won the Cheshire |
handicap with the greatest case, defeating |
Refer, who won the Chester Cup and other |
good ones. Paroles next appearance will be in |
the Ascot Stakes about two miles, handicap |
