AMERICAN HORSES ABROAD.
Tho LoriIIard and Croker Candidates win
Soon Have "a Public Test.
Americans in England will probably have an
opportunity during the next two weeks to see
Pierre Lorillard's and Richard Croker's horses
tested in q number of races. and, while they can
only be present in spirit, the horsemen on this
eide OF the Atlantic are deeply Interested in the
results. The pending fixtures are the Newman

Jubilee Stakes. are of no Importance as indica-
lions OF Richard Cookers plans. When he has
a good thing ne will not hire a brass band to
escort him to the bookmakers. But the manner
in which the Croker and Lorillard horses per-
form in their engagements at these early
meetings should give q reliable line on their
chances of success on the turf this season. In
England public form means something. for
the horses do not meet day after day on the
same tracks. and there are consequently not 80
many confusing reversals of form.

tries have been printed in advance. is the
