On Mr.. Browns return to thi,
tcountry last autumn Mr.. Jacot
Pinous, formerly with Mr.. Belmont
aud who had besn training Mr.. Loril
lard's home stable, went out aud
took charge Of the English enterprise
For STEW weeks after his arrival bu
little attention was psid to tht
American stable, but with the frs
break Of winter the tents and com
laissionsrs began to note importah
0hAAges In the condition of Mr.
the well.kuown trainer. Mr.. Th0mal
Puryear, went out ~ adviser snC
; confidential agent for Mr.. Lorillard
Mr.. .Puryear and Mr.. Piucus wer'
old friends. and it ia to be presumed
that Iroquois' success was in ne small
measure due to their united skill
Certainly all the critics agreed that
although the course of training diff
fered materially from that in vogu,
ut Newmarket-in spite OF continued
hard work there were no signs o
weakness in the colt's legs, New
market Heath having been very hard
all the spring owing to the absence
OF rain. 1t is unnecessary to give
the opinion Of the different paper,
uttered after Iroquois ran SECOND
for the 1000 guiness. Some described
him as being completely used up
while others thought he was nearly
~ good as the winner. In naming
the horses they. thought would win
yearly oil the critics were agreed
that Iroquois would get q place, but
