The other lirotlu-rs were Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee. The last named was sold some years ago and is now at the Los irtlgas Stud In the Argentine. Foaled in lKftl. Ehuizel II. was somewhat of a disappointment during his first two seasons on the turf, though during his career he won eleven of the twenty two races In which he took part. As a two year old he ran five times without success, whilst in his second season he won five races out of ten attempts. These were in the St. James Palace Stakes and the Forty-tirst Triennial Stakes at Ascot, the former la-lug the last race on the Thursday and the latter the lirst race on Friday; the iood-wood Corinthian Plate: the Brighton Highweight Handicap, and the Royal Stakes at the Newmarket Second October meeting. His best form was shown as a four-year old. for in seven races ho was successful on six occasions. He won the Prince of Wales Handicap carrying 130 iM.unds at the Epsom Spring meeting; followed tills up by victory in the Princes Handicap at Jat-wick: and carrying a ten-pound penalty in the Manchester Cup. won easily by two lengths from Jreen-luwu. to which he was conceding eight pounds. The Cold Vase at Ascot and tlie Coodwood Cup were easy races to will, and his only failure came next. This was in the Cesarcwitch. where, with 120 pounds in the saddle, he finished fourth to Rock-dove. Bard of Avon and Count Schoinberg. In the Jockey Club Cup he beat None the Wiser by four lengths. After one unsuccessful effort In the following season— in the iold Cup at Ascot, in which lie ran third to Love Wisely and Omnium 1 1.— l-lorizel II. was retired to the stud, where he was an almost instant success. In his first season he got such horses as Volodyovskl winner of the Derby. Dori-clcs winner of the St. Lexer. Mackintosh, and Floriform. The following year came Incle Sol and Champagne, the latter a winner of six races in Ids first year: Vedas. winner of the Rrocklesby Stakes, ami in the following season the Two Thousand iulneas; Ferinoylc. Exchequer. Kuroki. Verdiana. Casiello. Coldeu Measure, lemma. Prince of Orange. Silver Heeled. Vodenta and Altitude. These were the best horses owning paternitv to the roval sire. His best season was lfttll. when the Derby was won by Volodyovski and the St. Leger by Doricles.

What Ballot and Colin may do I cannot, say. but Fair Play II. has run three times in this country very moderately, tlvough he was as tit as he can be made and tried his hardest. The fact Is lie cannot go. and the same may be said of Priscilllan. Dinna Ken II. and Delirium, and I l«egin to fear that some of the older division may have to return to America. Perseus 111. is perhaps at the moment the best horse in the stable, but at Manchester he hardly showed in his race with Woodhall and Hcpiil that he was entitled to 111 imiinds. It was reported during tlie week that Land League might rim for the Rous Memorial Stakes, but Sherwood sent liim a good gallop up the Litue- kilns on Wednesday, and the horse is just now unite at his best. He is a much better horse in soft goin-g. and It is questionable If he is sharp enough away from the gate." A judicial ituiuirv is t»eing held into all the par ticulars of the alleged fraud and tlie substitution of another horse for Ohaperon at the French course of Maisous ILaftitto last month. Four persons are under arrest, but tlie nominal owner of the liorse has not yet l eei» discovered. The real Chaperon was iKiugiit at the Deauvllle sales by M. Allaiu des Couttes. who had nothing whatever to do with the recent pro -eedings. He parted with tlve liorse, after running badly at Lyons, to a ;M. Boucher, acting for the mysterious IMipuis. The identity of the English liorse which was substituted has not yet been established. It is certain tluit a number of horses have l eon liougUt in England aud in the French provinces, and a system of all-round fraud was contemplated or in actual progress; but nothing more can be said till the names of tlie culpable parties are revealed.
