"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



miles, brought Iroquois, Monitor, Eole, Miss Wood- 

 ford and George Kinney to the post. The prestige of 

 the Derby winner made him favorite even against a 

 field of such amazing quality. It was whispered that 

 he had broken blood-vessels in England, and in conse- 

 quence Tom Cannon had been unable to give him 

 enough work to enable him to stay a distance. But 

 his prestige prevailed. 



The race resulted in George Kinney winning, with 

 Eole second, Iroquois third. Many blamed Feakes for 

 making two attempts to come through Instead of one, 

 but Feakes explained: "I was cut off by the horses 

 swinging wide after passing the half-mile post, and 

 again turning for home, when I had to pull out to the 

 middle of the track. I called to Hughes and to Hay- 

 ward to let me through, but when they did it was too 

 late." 



Three days later the race was renewed. Drake 

 Carter accompanied Iroquois this time, and again Iro- 

 quois was favorite. Drake Carter made pace, Iroquois 

 lying back, but he ran a worse race than before, as 



Eole won, with George Kinney second, 

 p. J, Monitor third; the Lorillard pair unplaced. 



Iroquois ran only once afterward— third to 

 Miss Woodford for the Pimlico Stakes at Baltimore. 

 It was found Impossible to get him in proper condition 

 for a distance race, owing to breaking blood-vessels, 

 and he retired with the season.
