After his English endeavors Iroquois returned 

 to America and went into the stud on the noted 

 Belle Meade Farm, in Tennessee, where his suc- 

 cess was satisfactory, if not wonderful. 



There came into the hearts of the racing pub- 

 lic at the same time with Iroquois a horse called 

 Hindoo. He was by that most excellent race- 

 horse Virgil out of another one of those Lex- 

 ington mares, named Florence. As the name of 

 Hindoo has come down to us as among the really 

 great horses of the American turf, a condensed 

 account of his races is given here. 



Hindoo was the sensational two-year-old of his 

 year; started in nine races, won seven, was sec- 

 ond in one, third in one. Hindoo made his first 

 appearance at Lexington, Kentucky, May 13, in 

 the Colt and Filly Stakes, for two-year-olds, 

 three-quarters of a mile, winning in 1.17J, beating 

 Alfambra, Brambaletta, Lizzie S., Edison, and five 

 others. Louisville, Kentucky, May 19, won 

 Alexander Stakes, half a mile, in 50 seconds, 

 beating Banter, Maretzek, and eight others ; May 

 24, won the Tennessee Stakes for two-year-olds.
