THE GREATEST HORSE IN THE WORLD.

LONDON, October 25.-The Newmarket
Nursery Handicap for two year olds was
won bv Magician, Donald Cairo second,
Marquis de Thorenier third.
The race for the Cambridgeshire
Stakes was won by Keene's Foxhall,
Lucy Glitters second, Tristan third.
Thirty horses ran. When little over
a mile from home Lucy Glitters Was
leading by a half length before Foxball
and Tristan, with Mistake close up on
the lower ground. This order was
maintained past the red post. When
drawing near home Foxhall closed up
and going on won comfortably, but by a
head only before Lucy GIitters, with
a neck between her and Tristan. The
betting against FoxhaIl at the start was
l0tol. Retreat was scratched.
There was sharp shower, but before
the start the sun shone brightly. Great
ANNOYANCE was felt by the Americans
at not seeing Foxhall and Mistake sad
died in paddock. A majority, including
Foxhall and Mistake, had finishing
touch at the starting post. In the
morning Mistake was backed In a spir-
tied manner at 33 to ], while Foxhall
maintained his position, and large
amount went on Keene's champion.
The track was very heavy. There
was some delay in starting, the sports
men and people showing much temper,
The field eventually got away on pretty
even terms, for moment presenting
A Beautiful Line Of Colors.
Shinglass and Eminence were first to
break the line and they made joint
running with knight Athol, with Lucy,
Glitters, Montrose and Promethena Tor
immediate attendants. Well up with
these were Carrie, the filly Muriel, Sco-
bell, FalkirI and lncendiary.
Then came Petronell, Preston,
Pause, Bendor and Philammon, the re-
mainder being we'll together for three
furlongs, when Shinglass and Eminence
dropped back and Lucy Glitters assumed
the lead. She was succeeded by Tristan,
Pirarus, Incendiary, Poulet, Philammon,
Promethus and Foxhall. The last men
toned had worked away from Puck and
was lying handy with the lot named.
At tine red post he had drawn up to
Lucy Glitters who headed him by only
half length. The PAIR were running
very wide OF each other, Foxhall being
on the top ground. Trestan and Poulet
were alone, showing Prominence in the
centre OF the course. The race was now
almost confined to these four, for they
were long way clear OF Incendiary and
Pirnus, who shortly aiterward showed
distress. When half way. up the hill
Foxhall made grand squirt, and quickly
getting on terms with Lucy Glitters,
won cieverly by head. Tristan kept
running to the end, being beaten by
neck for second place.
Keene's Pride in dis Horse.
New YORK, October 25.-James K.
Keene, owner OF Foxhall, was warmly
congratulated on his victory When
asked if it was unexpected keene re.
piled: "Well, l should say not, as |
backed him very heavily to win the
race. He is the greatest horse in the
world to win carrying the immense
penalty he did ON account Of his former
victories. The great Ben Dor unplaced
at an even weight. and Lucy Glitters,
who has proved herselfa great racer and
carrying only ninetv-one pounds, were
beaten by my horse. He was ridden by
a third rate jockey, SO our English
friends can hardly credit the victory to
the great experience or ability OF the
rider. "What is your opinion OF the
colt now?" THAT he is the greatest
horse in the world, and |
would not fear to start him against
anything on four legs. His winning the
Cambridgeshire 20 day and thus making
a most remarkable double victory, hav-
ing previously landed the Cgzarewitch,
is the most marvellous performance ever
accomplished" "How about the rumors
OF a match between Iroquois and your
colt" al would rather not express
myself on that point, but my opinion OF
Foxhall you know. II he retains his
form don't think any living horse can
out. loot or out.stay him."
Walton, OF the st. James Hotel. this
city, now in England, won Sl60,OOO on
FoxhalI.
