The City and Suburban.
A cablegram in the GLOBE of Thursday
gave the result of the City and Suburban at
New Market, England, Wednesday, one of the
leading English racing events. The race at
tracted special attention on this side of the
Atlantic this year from the fact that it was in
| this race Perre Lorillard's colors, with that
grard old American horse, Parole, were fest
carried to the front on British soil, and that
both himself and J. R. Keene had reasonable
ground for hope of capturing it this year, the
| former with Barrett, and the latter
| with Foxhall, who finished a good
| second to Bend Or, shown by the
record to be one of the best performers on the
English turf. A cable to the New York World
gave very interesting description of the race,
| from which we extract:

The principal event was the race known the
world over as the City and Suburban Handicap,
which the most knowing critics have for some
| weeks past declared to be simply contest be-
tween England and the United States, with the
former represented by the pick from some
thousand or more horses, including some
known to be equal to the best in the king
dom, and the latter represented bya few hor es
selected from two stables, the property of Mr.

knowing ones were not wrong in their judg-
ment The finish was between England and
the States, and 100 yards from the post there
were no others in the race but the two repre-
sentatives, England being represented by
Bend Or, the winner of last years. Derby,
| and the States by the three-year-old Foxhall.
England triumphed, as well she might with
such an artist in the saddls as Fred Archer,
who from the instant he made his run never
spared chance, but rode Bend Or out as a
sure winner, and as the three year-old tired at
the end, Archer kept Bend Or in the lead and
won rather easily by length.
"The field was early at the post, and after a
few breakaways, Barrett being very fretful and
nervous, the flag was dropped to fair start.
Ambassadress, Bend Or, Post Obit, Prestonpans
and Petronel were the quickest away. Almost
Immediately Post Obit drew clear and showed
the way down the hill, where he was Joined by
Lancaster Bowman, with Foxhall, Thora and
Ambassadress leading the next division. Close
up came Barrett, Bend Or, Prestonpans, Henry
George and Buchanan. Lancaster Bowman
passed Post Obit but was in turn passed by
Post Obit, three furlongs from the post, and
the latter held his own through the dip, when
he was challenged by Bend Or and Foxhall,
the two almost drawing clear showing that
the race lay between them. For a few seconds
the excitement was intense, but the persever-
ance of Archer gradually told on Bend Or, and
as Foxhall tired the son of Doncaster drew
clear and finally won by length, with Fo1hall
second the same distance in front of Post
Obit. Petronel finished fourth, while the fa-
vorite Prestonpans) was the tenth to pass the
post, followed by Barrett, with the remainder
we'll tailed out. The race was run in 2:07. /"
Commenting on the race the turf editor of
the WOrld says:
s'Bend Or is the first winner of the Derby
that has subsequently won the City and Subur-
ban, although the reverse has been the case.
Seton, after winning the City and Suburban
in 1877, won the Derby month later. In
fact, ever since his debut as a two year-old,
Bend Or has been sensational animal.
eff the race was run in 2:07, as reported, it
is the fastest on record for mile and a quar-
ter, the best American record at the distance
being 2:08, made by Mendelssohn, (3) with IS
pounds, at Lexington last May. If the time is
correct it will amply confirm the opinion of
many that Foxhall, in running second to Bend
Or on Derby form, is one of the best three
year-olds in England"

To the Editor of the Globe.
The leading topic among the horsem en- the
past week, has been the late purchase by Mr..
Kittson of the stallion Won Arnim; his bree d.
ing and performances on the turf being the
main question discussed. The writer meeting
one of the principal breeders and fanciers in
the State, the conversation commenced as fol-
lows:
"well, Mr.. Kittson has procured trotting
stallion"
Breeder-"Yes, so hear; yet am rather
surprised that he purchased the one reported
''Why so, is he not first CLASSY"
Breeder-"Yes, he Is ineshorse with an ex-

Klttson, aided by the experience of Dan Wood
mansee, would have selected horse combin-
ing the Hambletonian and Mambrino Chief
blood; still he is grand horse"
Soon afterward another gentleman OF like
propensities was met, who expressed his re-
grets that an animal OF the Hambletonian and
Clay blood had not been secured, instead of q
HamBletonian and Morgan.
