AN ENGLISH NEWSPAPER ON AMERICAN
HORSES.
LONDON, June 2d-A M-The Daily Tele-
graph thus spoke of the American horses this
morning: During more than century no
previous celebration of what is called "the
great cockney holiday" has seen four Ameri-
can champions arrayed among the starters.
Patriotism demands that the sympathies of
Englishmen should rest rather with Peregrine
and st. Louis than with Iroquois and Den
Fulano, but it may fairly be doubted whether
| it would not be to the advantage of the large
and miscellaneous army of men who get their
living out of the English turf that an Ameri-
can horse should win. Pierre Lorillard and
James r. Keene are both of them conspicu-
Gus for wealth and enterprise, and the
triumph of an animal carrying their colois
would be signal for an immense transfer
cree of colts and FLIES bred in Kentucky,
| Tennessee, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
New York and Virginia from the new
to the old world. 1t is, moreover, not
little significant of the influence
produced by the recent successful perform
ances of transatlantic horses in English
races, upon the value OF thoroughbred stock
in the United States, that yeariing colt has
Just been knocked nown in the State of
Tennessee under the hammer for 1.5G0
guineas, by far the largest price ever paid for
| a thoroughbred yeariing. Il is certain that
American colts will henceforward take 3
more notable part in the two great three
year-old races in England and France.
| Already, J. r. Keene has found his reward
for his spirited outlay, seeing that the Grand
! Prix de Paris appears TO be at the mercy of
| his fine cclt Fox Hall Nor let it be sup
posed that the love for Thoroughbred horses
| is taste but recently acquired
| by what Gladstone calls four kin
beyond the sea-" For the last 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 Dromed and Saltrau, John
! Bull and Spread Eagle, Sir Harry and Arch
duke Lap Dog, Priam and st. Giles. The
| list of other famous stations of Belgravian
mothers, which have also gone west, is as
long as the Homeric catalogue of ships as
sembled before Troy. In a word, the United
States have spent enormous sums in buying
the best equine stock of these islands, and
| when, as will sooner or later inevitably be
the case, they meet with European reward.
/ let no grudgipg jealousies be interposed to
mar England's gracious and cordial reception
of well merited victory.
WHO WERE THE RECIPIENTS OF THE CHEERS.
LONDON, June 2d-A. N.-The Standard
says The success of 1roquois did not seem
popular, and all the cheering was for the
Jockey, Archer.
The Daily Telegraph says: Whether the
jockey Archer, Iroquois or the Americans
were most cheered. it is difficult to say; but
more tremendous ovation has never been
witnessed.
THE AGRARIAN RIOT AT cLoNMELL-DETA1Ls
OF THE UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR.
New York, June I'd. M.-A London
cablegram thus tells the story of the origin
and progress of the agrarian riot at Clonmell,
County Tippersry, Ireland When Goddard,
| agent Of the Emergency COMMITTEES, was
leaving Court, he was received with groans
and Kisses. A priest was passing out of the
building, when the crowd made rush to enc,
ter A policeman in the confusion laid his
hand on the priests arm. At once the cry
went up that Father Maher had been ar
rested. The crowd became fearfuily excited,
| and the authorities at once concentrated the
whole force of military and constabulary be-
| fore the Courthouse. Bottles, stones and
| brickbats poured in on the police and soldiers.
Capt Stack, the resident magistrate, threat
ened to read the Riot Act, and at that mo-
ment policeman was knocked seDssless
at his side with stone. Captain Stack pro-
duced the Act, and several priests impiored
| him not to read it. as il be did the conse-
ouences would be terrible. The stone-throw-
! ing did not cease and as Captain Stack,
after reading the Riot Act, pronounced the
words, 'God save the Queen" a stone
| smashed the skull of another policeman
standing beside him. The unfortunate man
died last evening. The police charged on
the people with fixed bayonets, and at the
same time the cavalry dashed in among the
crowd. Frightful confusion followed. The
charge of cavalry down the short streets
was so impetuous that several horses and
riders dashed through shop windows
at the end of the street. The air was filled
with stones and bricks, and frightened shop
keepers who were endeavoring to put up
their shutters were hurled to the ground and
ridden over. Several Hussars were endorsed
by the crowd and trampled on by the horses
of their comrades coming behind them. The
charge through the streets lasted fully half an
hour A portion of the crowd fed, while
| others, undismayed, faced the charging
horsemen and battered in their helmets with
stones The Hussars used the fat of their
swords freely, the point and edge being
strictly forbidden them. One Hussar,
in charging around corner, met
with serious mishap. His horse
stumbled and fell. and five or six of his COM
rades, following swiftly. fell over the pros
trate horse and rider. Before the men could
recover themselves their horses had galloped
up the street, and the men had to defend
themselves from the mob until they were res
cued. Owing to the exertions of the priests,
several of whom received many hard knocks,
the people were induced fually to dispense.
A soldier of the Forty eighth Regiment was
so seriously injured that his life is despaired
OF, The doctor says that the man, if he re-
covers. will be insane. About thirty citizens
were seriously wounded.

THE TERRORISM OF THE LAND LEAGUE.
LONDON, june 1st.-The Times says: The |
runor that the Government intends to adopt |
stringent measures for abatipg the terrorism |
of the Land League appears to have. caused !
some excitement among the leaders of the |
agitation. Parliament and the country have
at length come to understand that the League |
is an aggressive organization, and that if the |
law does not put it down it will put down the |
law. The terrorism must be suppressed, |
whether it takes the fern of vulgar threaten |
ing letters or assumes loftisr type of dicta-
ton.
