"CHERRY AND BLACK" 



winher, Australian Star, a five-year-old, carrying io8 

 lbs. On May 8 David Garrick appeared for the Ches- 

 ter Cup, 2% miles. He was within a 

 iMytd (jarrtc pound of being top-weight, he having 122 

 Chester Cup ^^^' ^^ Mazagan's 123 lbs. But David 

 Garrick was not to be denied this time. 

 Staying was his forte, and the distance favored him, he 

 winning easily by two lengths, conceding 13 lbs. to the 

 second horse. He started for the Epsom Gold Cup, 

 ij4 miles, an odds-on favorite, and ran second to 

 Merry Gal; and thus the career of the "cherry and 

 black," which had begun at Long Branch in 1873, ended 

 at Epsom in June, 1901.
