H1NDo0 AND CRICKMORE.
| The past week was n3ade q notable one In
racing circles from the fact that it brought to-
gether in race the two best s-year-olds IN
the country, and demonstrated beyond the
possibility of doubt that in Hindoo the
| Dryers have colt that holds at his mercy
all the important 3-year-old stakes OF the sea
| son. When Hindoo came out last season ane
won all his engagements in the South, anc
supplemented these performances by captur-
ing the Criterion and Tremont-House Stakes
! at Chicago, running .he distance in the first
named devent-three-fourths of mile-in LIS
1t was conceded that he was the peer OF any
horse Of his age in che country; and at the
close Of the Chicago meeting reserve price
of S21, 900 was placed upon him By his owner,
Alr. D. Swlgert- Hlndoo was then sent to
Kentucky and turned out, but later in the
season, with a change Of trainers, shipped
East, and at Saratoga was beaten by Crlck-
more and Bonnie Lizzie for the Windsor
Hotel Stakes, and three days later was second
to Thora in the Day Boat Line Stakes. He
was then sold to the Dryers for S15.oo0, and
ran no more that season.
Criekmore was also an unusually success
full colt in his 2 year-old form, being beaten
but once, and then when he was evidently
out Of condition. This year Hindoo started
out In the most brilliant manner, travelling
from New York to Kentucky early in the
season, where he won the Blue-Ribbotl
Stakes at Lexington, the Kentucky Derby
and Clark Stakes at Louisville, and, return-
Ing to New York, captured couple Of purse
