Louis WInans Adam Bede does not wear well with English critics, and one of them wrote, after the son of Adam won a moderate race at Liverpool: "It is evident that Adam Bede has been considerably overrated, and he seems to have no pretensions to win in good company." Charles Kohler, who recently purchased Fitz Herbert, Novelty, Zeus and other horses from S. C. Hildreth, says he has decided not to ship them to England on December 2. He is anxiously awaiting the return to America of Mr. Hildreth and jockey Shilling, who are on their way home. Mr. Kohler is unable to say why Mr. Hildreth did not remain longer on the other side.
