CHAPTER VIII 

 RACING, 1879-1882 



There 's good old Parole — 



How often he stole 

 To the front, like the flight of an arrow ; 



Little Saxon, the brown, 

 And those bays of renown — 



Uncas, Basil, Attila, Pizarro. 

 Wanda, chestnut bright; 



Pontiac, black as night; 

 And Iroquois, brown as a berry; 



And Dewdrop, brown-bay. 

 Have all shown the way 



With the Lorillard jacket of "Cherry." 



1879 



MR. LORILLARD, with the pick of his stable in 

 England, did not play as prominent a part In 

 the racing of 1879 as he had In previous years. It was 

 not until the middle of July that he even won a race. 

 Zoo Zoo, Boardman and Spartan had lost form. Paw- 

 nee, the three-year-old brother of Parole, had a sick- 

 ness and never was the same colt, and The Squaw, a 

 sister to Enquirer, could not be trained. Mr. Brown, 

 the trainer, had been sent to England with Parole, and 

 Mr. Charles LIttlefield trained the horses for a time
