ond in Derby, Among
Those on MenOminee.

The great four-year-old horse Archaic.
by Polymelus. out Of Keystone H.. by
Persimmon. recently purchased in Eng
land by John Sanford of the Hurricania
Stud, Amsterdam, n. Y. reached here
yesterday afternoon on the Menominee.
Archaic is one of the best bred and
finest specimens of the thoroughbred
ever brought to the United States. He
was bred by Lord Derby, whose colors
he carried when he ran second to Spion
Kop for the Derby last June. The critics
say that he would have won that classic
but for an accident horse falling
directly in his path as he was making
his run. Archaic is good winner,
taking the Prince of Wales stakes and
the Goodwood and Atlantic stakes.
Great pressure was brought to bear on
Mr.. Sanford TO leave the horse in Eng
land TO run for the Ascot Gold Cup next
year. He cost 1880 guineas and was
considered a bargain at that figure. He
will be sent to the stud next spring. 1t
is Mr.. Sanford's intention to breed all
of his mares TO Archaic practically dis
carding The Curragh, which he imported
at big price some years ago. but which
has not been success. Archaic's dam.

lam Ware, who had charge of Archaic

tempered animal.
