The New York Evening Post says
that the news that Pierre Lorillard's
three year colt Iroquois won the
English Derby stakes this morning
by half length was received in this
city with enthusiastic expressions of
pleasure in sporting circles and at
the clubs. With the exception of
persons intimately acquainted with
Lorillard's stables few sportmen put
money an Iroquois, notwithstanding
the fact that he came in second at
New Market in the race for 1000
guineas. At the Union Club Pierre
Lorillard stood in the centre of a
crowd of at least one hundred ex-
cited men who congratulated him
upon the ownership of the first
American horse which has won an
even place in the Derby. A little
before noon a party from the Union
Club started for the jerome Park
races, Lorillard's dray being draped
with bunting and greeted with
cheers from the different groups of
club and sporting men along the
route.
Only ten horses paraded for the
preliminary canter, the others going
directly TO the post, Peregrines ap-
pearance gave great satisfaction to
his fanciers, but Iroquois seemed to
be in the best of spirits. His action
was much admired after one break
away. A good start was affected.
When the horses were first seen at the
top of the hill it was difficult to make
out from the grand stand who had the
advantage, but coming down the hill
Peregrine, who was on the inside,
had fair lead, and his friends began
to shout. Peregrine wins as they
turned the corner. Archer's colors
were seen pressing forward on the
stand side. The two leaders raced
an exciting match up to the grand
stand, where Iroqnois' nose showed
IN front, and he continued to gain
until past the judges stand. The
finish was splendid and exciting
