there the jockeys IN bright colors lent an ad
ditional picturesqueness to that which is per-
| haps the pleasantest and certainly the most
peaceful portion of the great course. The
horses, as they were walked about in the pad
dock, were followed by crowd
Of admirers a many walking walking along 1Saig
points. Sometimes a favorite would be
brought to stand under little group of
trees in the center of paddock, the shade OF
which was peculiarly grateful. 1t was here
that the
FASHIONABLE JOCKEY, FRED. ARCHER,
quietly waited for the time when his American
mount should be ready. The entire string OF
horses then performed the usual paddock
parade, walking round the ring preceded by
policemen. Iroquois, Geologist and Scobell
were eagerly scanned and the remarks seemed
unfavorable to the Yankee horse. One gen
tleman audiblv remarked, "Iroquois looked as
if he would be easier beaten over
hurdles then on the fat" The favorite, Pere-
grine, did not join in the parade of the pad
dock. After the parade came the preliminary
canter on the course towards the starting
point. Archer, who rode Iroquois, received
tremendous ovation on coming in to weigh.
He rode in six races out of seven yesterday,
and scored four victories, including dead
heat for the maiden plate on Black Lilly, filly,
besides which he ran second on Deer Wucher-
er and Dreamland for the Ashland stakes and
the Welter handicap plate respectively.
He now heads the list of winning jockeys
this year with total of fifty-two to his
credit. His successes last year at a CORES
ponding rate were thirty-nine When it was
rumored yesterday he would not ride Iroquois
the betting went from six to one down to nine
to one, but it recovered Immediately
when it was known the celebrated
jockey would ride the American horse. The

over the victorious horse and his no less re-
nowned jockey. Among those present were:

THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The news that Pierre
Lorillard's 3-year old colt Iroquois won the
English Derby, was received in this city with
enthusiastic expressions of pleasure in sport
ing circles and at the clubs. At the Union
Club Pierre Lorillard stood in the center of
crowd of 100 excited men, who congratulated
him upon the ownership of the first American
horse which has won even a place in the
Derby. A little before noon party from the
Union Club started for the Jerome Park races,
Lorillard's carriage being
DECORATED WITH BUNTING,
was greeted with cheers from different groups
of clubs and sporting men along the route.
For some time past American and English
critics have spoken highly OF Iroquois, and

here. Two weeks ago the Spirit Of the Times
said: "In considering the chances in public
form we are unable to assent to
the idea that any English bred colt
ought to win the EPSON race
this year nor last. No one of them has raised
up to the form shown by Iroquois. His vic
tory to-day will make him one of the most
and Goodwood, and will probably make him
first favorite for the great st. Leger race in
autumn.

BRITISH JEALOUSY.
The Standard says The success of lroquois
did not seem popular, and all the cheering
was for Jockey Archer.
The Daily Telegraph says: Whether Jockey
Archer, Iroquois, or the Americans were most
cheered it is difficult to say, but a more
tremendous ovation has never been witnessed
NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
The Daily Telegraph thus speaks of the
American horses this morning: During more
than century no previous celebration of
what Mark Twain calls the great cockney
l. nbo
arrayed amorg the starters. Patriotism
demands that the sympathies of Englishmsn
should rest rather with Peregrine and st.
Louis than with Iroquois and Don Fulano, but
it fairly may be doubted whether it would not
be to the advantage of the large
and miscellaneous army of men who
get their living off the British turf, that
the American horse should win. This after
noon Pierre Lorillard and Jas. R. Keene are
both of them conspicuous for wealth and en-
terprise, and the triumph of an animal carry
ing their colors would be the signal for
great transference of colts and fillies bred in
kentucky, Tennessee, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, New York, or Virginia,
from the new to the old world. 1t would be,
moreover, not little significant of the in
fluence produced by tBe> recent successful per-
formances of translantic horses in English
races upon the value of thoroughbred stock
in the United States, that a yearling colt has
Just been knocked down in the State of
Tennessee under the hammer for 500 guineas,
by far the largest price ever paid in America
for thoroughbred yearling. 1t is certain
that American colts will henceforward play
more noticeable part in the two great year
old races in England and France. Already
Keene has round reward for his spirited out
lay, seeing that the Grand Prix de Paris ap-
pears to be at the mercy of his fine colt, Fox
hail. Nor let it De supposed that love for
thoroughbred horses is taste but recently ac-
quired by what Gladstone calls our kin beyond
the sea-" For at least a century and
three quarters the finest thoroughbred blood
of these islands has been transported westward
across the Atlantic. Among the winners of
the Derby the Americans have taken from us
Doomed and Saltran, John Bell and Spread
Eagle, Sir Harry and Archduke, Lapdog,
Priam and St. Giles. The list of other famous
stations of Belgravian mothers which have
also gone west, is as long as the Homeric cat
alogue of ships assembled before Troy. The
| United States has spent an enormous sum in
| buying the best and finest of these animals,
and when, as will sooner or later inevitably
be the case, they meet with European success,
let no grudging jealousies be interposed to
mar England's gracious and cordial reception
of the well-merited victory.
The Times says: Iroqnois did not seem the
least distressed at the finish. 1t may now be
fairly admitted the Derby has changed from
national to an international affair.
