He was placed at the head of the imperial Russian stud. Among Ids victories was the defeat of the American colt Sir Martin, when tin? latter was a three-year-old, iu tin- rich Grand Prix de Trouville-Iy;iuville at Deauville, Sir Martin finishing second.

One proposed by R. T. AAilson. provided that the surplus over the selling price in runups should go one-half to the second horse and one-half to he race fund. Another, proposed by Schuyler L. Parsons, provided that the surplus should be di-vided equally between the first three horses and the association. Still another, proposed by II. K. Kmipp, would have divided the surplus between the three placed horses.
