"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



dale he sired Laggard, and nothing ever gladdened the 

 heart of "the old gentleman in black" so much as when 

 Laggard won the Omnibus Stakes of '87, defeating 

 Hanover and Firenzi. 



Parole made a clean sweep of the Cup races of 1878, 



winning the Baltimore, Monmouth and Saratoga Cups, 



and in October was shipped to England with Duke of 



Magenta, which Mr. Lorillard had pur- 



^hecl T'"' ^^^^^"^ ^^ ^'^ brother. Perfection won the 

 Doswell Stakes. Spartan won the Jersey 

 Derby, beating Duke of Magenta, and a match in 

 which he defeated Dwyer Brothers' Bramble, $2500 a 

 side. Garrick won the Manhattan Handicap, Board- 

 man won the Central and Barnum's Hotel Stakes, Bay- 

 ard won the Pimlico Stakes, Judith won the Chesapeake 

 Stakes. Spartan was a very highly tried colt 

 P^^ ^^ by Lexington from Lulu Horton by Albion, 

 but hit himself at work and his leg, filling, rendered him 

 useless soon after he had defeated Bramble. Garrick, 

 by Lexington from Inverness by Macaroni, was a very 

 attractive colt, a neat brown, but rather on the small 

 side. Boardman was a bay by Bonnie Scot- 

 land from Woodbine by Lexington, and was 

 a very smoothly turned one, higher on the leg than most 

 Bonnie Scotlands and rather narrow for one of that 

 tribe, but he lacked the toughness of the family. The 

 stable's winnings for 1878 amounted to $32,905.
