"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



"George Rice, who saw her In the West, said she 

 was the best three-year-old filly he ever saw." 



"So she was represented to me," said Mr. Lorillard. 

 "When I bought her she could beat all my horses. They 

 say mares which have lost their form seldom recover It, 

 but since we learned how to place this mare, she 's like 

 her old self." 



Drake Carter proved a much better four than a 

 three-year-old to the Lorillard stable. His victory for 

 the Autumn Cup, three miles in 5.24, was so good that 

 his match with Miss Woodford was the result, the 

 newspapers having clamored for such a race. 



"Do you want to run your mare against Drake Car- 

 ter?" asked Mr. Lorillard. 



"If the conditions suited," replied Mr. Dwyer. 



"Well, now I '11 tell you, Dwyer," 

 Drake Carter and 1 a/t t mi j u 



A/f W df A resumed Mr. Lorillard, suppose we 



make a match to be run next week — 



your mare Is in condition, is n't she?" 



"I think we can get her ready," replied Mr. Dwyer, 

 smiling at the Idea. 



"Very well. Let It be $5000 a side, $1500 forfeit, 

 three miles or two and a half." 



"Make it two and a half." 



"All right. Mr.Lawrencewilldrawupthe conditions." 



Thus the match was made; but despite the fact that 

 Drake Carter did the best trial, the mare won easily 

 and repeated It In two mile heats a few days later.
