PRETTY POLLYS GREAT STAKE WINNINGS. A very fine race mare, long before the public, is always awarded a more sentimental and devoted following than a very line race horse.

A half-dozen years hack Pretty Polly was as deep in the affectionate regard of every true Englishman, and when she was sent over to France and beaten in a great race by Mr. Vanderbllts Presto, it was held to he almost a national calamity. She was a truly magnificent mare, and up to the end of her three-year-old season was credited with 59,710. having won tlie following races in 1!K: Britisli Dominion Stakes Sandowul. .,570: National Breeders Produce Stakes Sandown, 1,78.1: Mersey Stakes Liverpool. $:i,400; Champagne Stakes Doncaster, 0,-0.-.0; Autumn Breeders Foal Plate Manchester, ,440; Chevelev Park Stakes Newmarket. ,22.": .Middle Park Plate Newmarket, 2,:;75; Criterion Stakes Newmarket, ?4.r:!0; Moulton Stakes Newmarket, .i:!5.
