Saturday morning, Richball, who was timed to
sulky in S:10A, was hooked double with run
ner, but he did not fancy the rig, and the attempt
was given up to go with him against the 2:O1A
of Westmont. Johnston was advertised to beat
his own record of 2:10, but Mr.. Woodmansee tells
me that he had very little hopes of accomplish
ing the task. The horse lacked preparations for
a supreme effort. The best mile paced was 2:11M u.
Peter Johnston, who has Westmount in his stable
and who gave the horse named after him his
present record says that Johnston is without
doubt the fastest PAGER In the world. He is con-
fdent that Splan will drive him mile when
everything is just right in :08 or 300.
Phalas is rounding into shape, and showing
such speed that the promise of great perform
ance by him may be realized little later in the
season. / shall be my way to the Rocky
Mountains before the open-to-all is decided in
which is entered against Fanny Witherspoon,
Catchfy and Clemmie G. Messrs Chas. Ray
mond and R. Compton, of New York, are here to
look their trotters over.
Clngstone was worked here on the Sth, and
those who saw him move felt confident that he
would be entered for the 81, 900 purse at Cleve
laud. Mr.. Case saw that he could not get on any
other kind of match with ''the demon" and he
handed Mr.. Thomas Axworthy check for 81, 900
and took the following receipt;
CHICAGO, July s, 1884.
Received this day from j. I. Case, $1,000 as
forfeit in race to be trotted between the horses
Clingstone and Jay Eye See, over our track at
Cleveland, on Thursday, Jnly 81, 1884, for
purse of 81, ,O00 as conditions offered by us and
understood by all parties concerned, we agreeing
that the race shall be called the first race that
day, should there be a postponed race, or the

CLEVELAND DRIVING PARK Co.
BY THos. AXwoRTHY, Director.
After Mr.. Case had put up his forfeit, news
came from Cleveland that Clingstone would not
enter because he was lame at Chicago. MIR.
Gordon is prudent man in some respects.
Before leave Clingstone l wish to make
correction. President VIM. Edwards writes me
that twenty gentlemen Clipped in an equal
amount and purchased the Cleveland Driving
park. Mr.. Gordon was one of these, and he has
no more voice in the management than any other
stockholder. The $4,000 purse was given at the
suggestion of Mr.. Edwards, and that gentlemen
regrets very much that it did not bring Cling
stone and Jay Eye See together on the track
The energy of Mr.. Edwards has contributed
largely to the success Of the club.
Phil Thompson looks five hundred per
cent better than he did last year. and I think
he will yet make @ sensation. Maud Messenger
is going well and she will probably start in the
$4,000 race at Hartford. st. Julien is still out
of shape. The Kittson stable will go from here
to Cleveland H..
Parole Retired.
1t is reported that Parole broke down at Mon
mouth park ON Friday, the 18th, in a gallop with
Herbert. Parole is brown gelding, foaed 1878
h imp. bennington, dam Maiden, by Lexington,
out of Kitty Clark, by imp. Glencoe, and the
property of Mr.. P. Lorillard, Rancocas Stud, n.
j. He is one of the most remarkable horses this
country has ever produced, and was one Of the
idols of the racing public, almost always the ia
vorite when starter in u race, and an apprecia-
tive assemblage always greeted the old veteran
with the heartiest applause when the "two in
separables," Feakes and Parole, made an ap-
pearance for an exercising canter, and many
times have the grand stands at Sheepshead Bay,
Monmouth and Jerome been almost unroofed
with the shout, "Paroe wins ~ In October, 1878,
Parole was shipped to England in company with
Uncas, Cherokee, Boreas, Friar Geraldine, Pap
poose, his full sister, and Nereid, and made
grand record for America on the English turf for
the season of 1879. In closing long and ex-
haustive account of this great horse, the Turf,
Field and Farm gives his record as follows:
The record Of Parole, as shown by the annexed
table, is of the most phenomenal in turf
nails. He was nine consecutive years on the turf,
crossing the Atlantic twice, aad started in 100
races, of which he won SO, was second in 22, third
lie IA, and unplaced in %, winning S82, ,233 for his
enterprising owner. He has at all distances
and in the best company, and has the honor of
having beaten the great English Isonomy in the
Newmarket handicap.
The following table will be of interest as show
ing his entire record, and for each year sepa-
rately.
