''Vigilant." of the Spirit, says Nat Byrnes,
Raucocus trainerycalled on him few days
ago and thus speaks of Parole and Pizarro:
''Old Parole roams at will in his paddock, en-
joying his deserved rest. They never comb
and brush him. and the old fellow is as rough
as a buffalo. Byrnes' principal regret is the
breaking down of Pizarro, who, he says, was
q race-horse of the first water. Matt saws
the horse was greater racer than the public
thinks, but he had peculiar lameness in
his shoulder sort of rheumatism. His
temper was so bad that he rebelled against
being ridden, and his Suburban preparation
was a world of labor. Finding the light
jockeys unable TO control him they got Char
lie Salt, who mastered him, but in running
trial the horse gave way. Thus, according
TO Matt, IL was run, rheumatis and rebellion
that settled Pizarro."
