Cox, more familiarly known under his racing iiom de plume of Mr. Palrte, has sustained a serious loss by the death of his famous stallion Bayardo, Which took place suddenly at Maatea en Monday. June . Bayards, which was bred by his owner, was foaled in ISM and was by Hay Ronald--Cnliciu dam sf Leaaberg, by Qsktpia— Isstetta and had a highly distinguished career on the turf. As a two-year old he was unbeaten, winning seven raees. H is defeat was made in the New Stakes at Ascot, in which he defeated lVrdiccas. lerola ami tea ethers. His next race wis the National Breeders Produce Stakes at Sandown Park, in WbJcl In1 was apposed by Olnsg.-rioii. Vivid and I.ouvi.rs. among others. His other juve nile accesses were scored in the Richmond Stakes at GOOdWOOd, The ] iin-kingliam Stakes and the Rous Memorial Slakes at the Pirst October Meeting at Newmarket, the Middle Park Plate and the Dew hurst Plate. Be was. naturally, strongly fancied for the las-si- ,,f 1000 :,„d odds were laid on him for the Two Thousand Guineas, in which, however, he could oaly finish fourth to Mlasra, Phateroa ami I.ouieres. He was also unplaced in the Derby, the I-ading trio for which were Minoru, Louviers and William the Fourth. This was, however, bis final reverse of the sea- soa, in lb arse of which be woa eterea races. These were the Crime of Wales Stakes at Aseot. the Bandriag-bam Foal stakes, the Eclipse Stakes in which fie accounted for Boyal Realm, Santo Straio and Your Majesty, the Dachess of York Plate, the Doacaster St. Leger in which he took ample rerrase on Miaora, which was not even placed. Valens beiag second and Minuter third, with Bachelors Double another of the unplaced dirlstea, tie- Doacaster Ktnk.s. the Champion Slakes, the Sandown Park Poal Plate, til" Leather and Limekiln Stakes and the Liverpool St. Leger. His Gold Cup Victory. As a four year old the son of Kay Ronald took part in five aces, of which he won four. He had little to do in the fiftieth Bteaalal Stakes at Newmarket Craven n ting, and. with only Croat Peter, Catt.no and Tocher to beat, odds of 111 to ! were laid on him. At Chester, in the Vase, he beat William the Fourth by a head, after being shut in. and only a remarkably fine piece of riding bv Mahcr. and a game effort on his own part, enabled him to take the spoils. Tbea followed his odd Cap victory over Sea Sick 11.. Bachelors Double, Royal Realm, Broaalao, Buckwheat, William tin- Poarth, sir Martin, and others, he wiaaiag in a canter by four lengths. He next won the DaUiagnam Plate, at Newmarket, before meeting witli his sensational defeat iy Magic in the Goodwood Cup. He ought never to hae been beaten in that race; but it should be remembered that !••• was giving the winner thirty six pounds. Usher allowed the latter to make all the running, and Magic stayed on just a trifle too long. This was the last race be ran in. At the conclusion id" bis racing career Bayardo entered upon stud life. His first important winner was C I and Gay. Thea came Ali Bey, which won three or tear rices in the yellow and black of the Duke of B/estmiaater. Probably, however, the b.st of his progeny thus far is Cay Crusader, a colt of which Gay Laara was the dam. Gay insider created some sin oris., by beating Molly Desmond. Graad Fleet, and others in the Criterion Stakes list aatnma; bat his sacccss in tin- Two Thousand Guineas a moath ago. when he beat bis stable c .mi.ai .n Magpie hy a head.
