"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



Parole made his appearance in the Liverpool Cup, 



1% miles, March 17, and with the top weight, 131 lbs., 



won by half a length from a field of nine. 



The Liverpool g^^ Archer, who rode the second horse, 

 Cup 



Advance, lodged an objection to Parole 



on the ground of a "cross." The English rule (No. 



32) disqualified a horse crossing another, unless he had 



two clear lengths in the lead. The stew-

 Disqualified ^ ^ ^ , , ^. , 



to Advance, an aged horse with 116 lbs. 



So inconsequential was the "cross" considered that, 

 while the case was pending, bookmakers laid 4 to i on 

 Parole getting the race, while the London Referee 

 bluntly said, "People remarked that it looked strange 

 for such a right-away rider as Archer entering a pro- 

 test when, for once, he gets done at his own game." 

 Parole did not win again in England. He ran second 

 for the Epsom Gold Cup and late in the summer was 

 sent home to New York. 



Boreas was Mr. Lorillard's starter for the Derby 

 and ran unplaced. Dakota, Seneca, and Sly Dance 

 failed to win. Mistake, and Passaic, also, were not 

 brilliant. Paw Paw, a sister to Parole, was a fine filly. 

 She was second for the Stanley Stakes, and won the 

 Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood, but died soon after. 

 Wallenstein, a son of Waverly, won the Newmarket 

 Handicap which Parole had won the year before.
