FROM HOWL FOR 'RECIPROCITY' TO PRESENT DAY 219 



No wonder the British lion gave another howl of 

 anguish and another roar of indignation. And when, 

 at the end of the season, he ' totted up ' the insults he 

 had been obliged to pocket and the money of his that 

 had been pocketed by the foreigner, he found the ac- 

 count to stand somewhat as follows : 



The Lagrange-Lefevre ' fusion ' were credited with 

 17,650/. and stood at the head of the 'winning owners' 

 on the English Turf, the second place being assigned 

 to Lord Eosebery with 13,190/., and only the third, 

 instead of the former first, to my Lord Falmouth with 

 his 21,152/. reduced to a paltry 10,000/., much the 

 same as the ' fusion ' had won the year before. 



Entering a little more into particulars, the British 

 lion observed that the French horses, ' cracks ' or not, 

 that had run in England were, as nearly as he could 

 make out, between ninety and a hundred, as follows ; 

 Adrienne (two years), Allumette (three years), Artilleur 

 (aged), Augusta (three years), Bahylas (six years), Bas- 

 quine (three years), Bernardet (four years), Bieville
