"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



race. They tell me— you saw the race— that he gave It 

 up after running a splitting half mile, and Barbee pun- 

 ished him severely. The colt never forgot it, and has 

 been nervous ever since. The morning of the Cam- 

 bridgeshire he was less nervous than 



Sachem in the i tt j* j ,. u i

Lambriageshire 



brought out. You know one of the worst 

 storms ever seen came down after the horses had gone 

 to the post, and they were called back and the race post- 

 poned. Well, that settled Sachem. He had gone 

 through the saddling, the canter, and been at the post 

 with thirty others, and was all of a tremble. The next 

 day the race was run, and he did well to finish sixth, as 

 he had fretted until he was all pumped out." 



With the close of 1882, Mr. Pincus returned to 

 America, and Mr. Lorillard sent the horses to be 

 trained by Tom Cannon at Stockbridge. The lot in- 

 cluded Iroquois, Aranza, Comanche, Massasoit, and 

 Touch Me Not, together with the following yearlings 

 which had sailed from New York, October 7, on the 

 ship Erin: Emperor, Choctaw, Pontiac, De Soto, Vic- 

 trix. Nirvana and Nitocris. On the same ship came the 

 mare Pinafore, and the filly Parthenia to fill her en- 

 gagement for the Epsom Oaks. 



The year was not a brilliant one. Aranza won the 

 Johnstone Plate. Iroquois ran second to Tristan for 

 the Hardwick Stakes, and won the Stockbridge Cup, 

 and with Aranza and Parthenia was shipped home to
