HINDOO Continued. 



in 2:36J ; was third in the September handicap, If miles, won by Crickmore, in 3:03, 

 Hindoo carrying 123 Ibs. 



As a four-year-old, started six times and won five races. Louisville, Ky., won the 

 Louisville Cup, 2 miles, in 3:57f, beating Checkmate, Glidelia, Lida Stanhope and 

 Blazes. 



Won the Merchants' Stakes for all ages, one mile and a furlong, in 1:59 J, beating 

 Checkmate, Runnyrnede and Creosote. Won the Turf Stakes, 1 miles, in 2:08, 

 carrying 122 Ibs, beating Checkmate (aged), 123 Ibs., and Creosote (4), 114 Ibs. 

 Sheepshead won the Coney Island Stakes, for three-year-olds and upwards, one mile 

 and a furlong, in l:57f, Barrett being the only other starter; won the Coney 

 Island Cup, 2J miles, in 3:58, beating Eole and Parole. This was the best race run 

 at the distance during the year, and compares favorably with similar races. There 

 is no question but that Hindoo was the best race-horse which has appeared in 

 this country for more than a decade. It is doubtful if any horse in England could 

 have beaten him in the great classic events. Hindoo is a nicely bred horse, his blood 

 combining all the best strains in England and America, his sire is by the best son of 

 Glencoe, and he has a large infusion of Diomed blood through both sides, together with 

 a double cross of imp. Buzzard, fortified by the stout crosses Whalebone, Herod and 

 Eclipse on the dam's side. We shall expect to see him a great success in the stud. 

 Hindoo is a dark bay, 15 hands 3 inches high, with large star in his forehead, right 

 hind foot white to pastern ; he is symmetrically shaped all over or he could not have 

 done what he did.
