The first essay Of American horses upon
the English turf this season was made
last "Wednesday at Lincoln, when. as the

Macaroni, out of Mahonia, and Mr.. LIE Feyre's
Bras de Fer; while Mr. Lorillard's Mistake
ran second to Buchanan for the Lin
colnshire Handicap. Later atlyices state that
Mistake and 1Fallenstein, both the property
of Nr, Lorilard. arrived at Lincoln the day
before the race, aud the latter was well
thought of By the betting men, their opinion
being that Mistake was short of work. This
feeling increased the odds against Mistake
to 1,OO0 to so previous to the start The field
was the largest ever known for this event,
no less than thirty-six starters coming to the
post, among them being the renowned Peter,
who had the top weight, and score Of other
noted cracks. When the race was started,
however, it was not long before all the
fayOrits were out OF it., and at the
outcome Buchanan Won easily By ten
lengths, Mistake being second, and Post
Obit third. Just before the start the betting
against Buchanan was 12 TO L and Post Obit
1t to l. Buchanan carried o. pounds, Mis-
take 100, and Post Obit l01. The distance in
the Lincolnshire handicap is mile

the Chicago running meeting III 1S19, when.
in the Criterion Stakes, one mile, he beat
Victory, ki1nball, Bye eand-Bye. Wallenstein,
Luke Blackburn. and Chris Doyle, in ~
Wallenstein was an immense fayorit for this
race, bringing $500 to sloo fol. klmbal, and
SEQ for the field. Shortly after this race
