The unexpected defeat Of Iroquois OF
Saturday has increased the interest in hi
temperance, especially as Lorillard
was willing and anxious to back hin
against bis conquerors for large amount
The contest has now passed into history
and those who had an abiding faith in til
} winner Of the Derby are crestfallen at hi
