TWO FAMOUS HORSES.
A Loaf from tbo Early History
of the American Turf.
Tim First tOront finco Between tlio

and Sir Honry.
Cirili1' il'e Ili-mlil.
The palmy ilnys of the American
turf , it has boon'said , were between
the years 1815 and 1815. Subso-
< | tiont to that ilato the trotting horse
began to monoiinlii'.c public attention ,
ami tin ? vunnhij , ' stock of America
wan loss in note and ilemniul , He-
ccnlly , when the tlyers of Lorillanl
ami 'Keono have crossed the water
anil won the IVrhy anil St.
from the best blood of old Ki _
nnd when ruur.ing races again form
part of the attraction at the best
meetings of the country , it is inter
esting to turn buck a JMRO or two , and
road of the events in which our
fathers took a keen interest.
Says "Frank I'Vvrestor ' , " wilting in
KS57 : "Tlmso great races which 1
esteem worthy of immortality as over
was the match of llamblotonian and
Diamond or any other match race , if
there were over or any other of
greater fame , are these of KclipHo and
Sir Henry : ol Ariel , dau htor of
Kclipso , and Flirtilla ; of Black Maria
and the three marcs , knouii as the
twcnty-milo race ; of Wagner and
Gray I'-uglo , at the Uaklands course ,
Lexington , and of Itoston and Fash
ion on the I'nion course , Long
Island. "
The first of these was run over the
Union course , Long Island , May ' . ' 7 ,
18211 , heats four miles , for S'JO'.OUO.
The southern gentlemen to name their
horse at the starting post.
The horses : uo thus described by
Cadwallador Colder , Esq. , in The
American Sporting Magazine :
Sir Henry is a dartl sorrel or chest
nut color , with one hind foot white
and a small star in the forehead , his
inaino and tail about two shades
lighter than hia body , fourteen hands ,
three-and-a-half inches high. Ilia
form is compact , bordering on what is
termed pony built , and , altogether ,
tlio exquisite symmetry of his fern
indicates uncommon strength ant
hardihood. Ho was bred by Mr.
Lemuel Lolig , near Halifax , in tlio
state of North Carolina , and foaled on
the 17th day of Juno , 1810. Ho was
got by Sir Archy , son of impmtcd
chestnut Diomed , sou of imported
Diomed , gianddam by Bol-Air , g. g.
dam by I'ilgrim , g. g. g. dam by
Valiant , g. g. g. g. dam by Janus ,
g. g. g. g. g. dam by Jolty Roger ,
which four last named are imported
horses , to bo found in the English
Stud Book.
Eclipse is a dark sorrel horse , with
a star , the near hind foot white , lif-
teen hands and two inches in height.
Ho possesses great power and sub-
htanco , being well spread and full
mudc throughout his entire frame , his
general mold being much heavier than
what is commonly mot with in the
thoroughbred blood horse. Although
his form throughout denotes uncom
mon strength , I conceive him in
debted for his great racing powers ,
continuance and ability equal to any
weight to the extraordinary line con
struction of his hind , quarters. He
was sired by Duroc , a 'Virginia horse ,
bred by Wade Moseby , Esq. , and got
by imported Diomed , out of Amanda ,
by Gray Diomed' , a son of old Med
ley. Eclipse's dam was the noted
gray marc Miller's Damsel , got by im
ported Messenger. His grand dam ,
an English mare , imported , when
three year * old , in 17SI5 , by William
Constable , of Now York , bred by
Lord Crosvenor , and sired by PotSos ,
son of English Eclispo. His g. g.
dam by Gimcrack , Gimcrack by Crip
ple , and ho by the Godolphin Arabian.
Ho was bred by General Nathaniel
Coles , of Queens county , Lone Is
land , and foaled May 25 , 1814.
All horses date their age from the
1st of May , consequently Sir Henry ,
though not four years complete , car
ried 108 pounds. Eclipse , being nine
years old , carried 120 pounds.
Eclipse was ridden by William
Crafts , in crimson jacket and cap ,
Henry by John W.-ildon , in sky blue
cap and jacket.
Eolipoo , by lot , had the loft , or in
side station. Sir Henry took his
ground about twenty-five feet wide of
him to the right , with evident inten
tion of making a run in a straight line
for the lead , a ptirpono which ho ac
complished , ami kept the lead , being
fully three lengths ahead at the half
mile , running steadily with a hard
pull , NValden using neither whip or
spur. On the last round , as they
came in , Eclipse made play , and spur
and whip were applied freely by Mr ,
Crafts , gaining a length and a half ,
Henry coming in about a length
ahead. The time was seven minutes
and forty seconds. The horses boio
it well , Eclipse the most jaded. It
was evident that his rider had cut
cruelly , and was incapable of riding
him. Ho was accordingly mounted
by Mr. I'tirdy.
On Iho second start Henry , being
entitled to the inside , took the lead ,
followed closely by Eclipse , whom Mr.
I'urdy had brought to his work , know
ing that game and stoutness was his
play , and his only chance of success
lay in pushing his speedy adversary
up to the top of his r.ite , and giving
tain no respite. Henry wont steadily
> n , keeping at ! open gup of about
Lwonty . foot between himself and
Eclipse , lor about two miles and sov-
? n-eitliths. ; Hero Mr. J'urdy umdo
his run , and was close up at the end
) f the thiid niilo. They now entered
Iho fourth mile which
, bc-gins with a
turn or sweep. Tlio oroivu at thin
iioint wi iinmonBo. When they got
ihoiit one-third round the sweep
Kclipho had lapped Henry , head and
girth , and appeared in the act of p.-us-
int , ' . Mr. Gulden says , "Hero Buck
ey vociferated , 'See Eclipse ! Look at
I'urdy ! By heaven , on the inside ! ' T
"elt satisfied ho had thus hazarded all ,
[ feared Wuldon would lake advan-
: a o of his position , and by reigning
in force him ngainst or inside the
[ Hilcn. Half way round the swoop the
lorsuH were a dead lup , three-fourths
omid Eclipse's quarter covered
Henry's head and neck , asthoy finish
ed the bend and were entering on the
straight run Elipso was fairly clear
ind ahead. Ho
now ktnt tip liis run
during the remaining three-quarters
of the mile , and eatno in fully three
lengths ahead. Au they passed up
the last quarter the touting , clap-
ping of hiuidn , long and loud applause
sent forth by the Kclipao party ex
ceeded nil description , it seemed tt >
roll nloni ; the track as the horses
advanced , resembling the loud
and reiterated nhout of contending
armies. Time : 7 minutes 4 ! ) sec
onds. " Arthur Taylor , a trainer of
experience , mounted Henry for the
last lio.it. At thn expiration of thirty
minutes , as before , the horses were
again summoned , I'urdy nnd Taylor
mounted , Kclipso taking the load ,
I'urdy employing the whip and spur
from the outset , compelling Henry * if
determined to trail , In do at the top
of his speed , vithnit kerning uny reserve
servo for a run in. Towards the
termination of the last mile Henry
made u dash , ran up to Kclipso so far
as to cover his qiiaiter or haunch with
his head , and for a moment luul the
appearance of going past. He tnado
a seveio Mingglu fnr two hun
dred yatds wlii'ii ho foil to the
re.xr and gave up the contest ,
Time , 8 minutes , I ? I seconds. Thus ,
the three heats , or twelve miles , were
run in ' . ' . ' 1 minutes 50X seconds , an
average uf 7 minutes , of seconds each
heat , or 1 minute , o ! ) seconds per
mile ; Ucsides the otiginal stake of
Si-'O.OOO each , it is estimated that
over Sl0,000 ! ( ) changed hands on this
race. Sir Henry , in the last hont ,
carried 110 pound. ) , and made , though
nut yet four years old , thu greatest
run yet made in America. The
south promptly challenged Eclipse ,
or any ether horse which mijjht be
chosen to run against Henry in thu
fall , but was answered by Mr. Stevens
that the owner , Mr. Van Uaust , owed
it to the association , to the state , and
to himself as a man "never on any
consideration to risk the life nnd rep
utation of the noble animal whose gen
orons and almost incredible exertions
have gained for the north so signal a
victory , and for himself such well
earned and never-failing renown. "
The portraits of those two kings of
the turf occupy the post of honor in
therooms | of the Ohio state board of
agriculture. They were painted by
Edward Troye , tin English artist of
renown , who made his home for man }
years with Keene Richards , in Ken
tucky , painting &ome of the finest
horse portraits and equestrian pic
tures of his own or any day , among
them the equestrian portrait of Gen.
Scott at Chopultopoc , hanging in the
ipapitol at Washington , but snid to be
'tho property of a citizen of Dayton ,
0. , the horse being n pure white Arab
barb , imported by Mr. Iticlmrds from
Arabia , where the owner himself se
lected him.

I'arls Letter from Edward Klnn to tlic ISoston
Joiinml.
All Europe is in feverish haste to
perfect its armament. Nothing like
the haste and impatience now mani
fested on all sides to get ready for war
has been seen in our generation , The
Olliciul Journal hero a few mornings
ago contained the announcement that
sixteen millions of francs had boon
voted as an extra credit on ordnance
account ; and thin is in addition to a
previous special amount of 40,000,000
of francs. Mr. Hotchkies , who is
making his cannon for the French
marine service has boon asked if ho
can not double his already immense
works at Saint Denis ; and indeed ho
will have to do so , if ho succeed ? with
in the next three or four years in
turning out the enormous number of
cannon demanded of him. Ho ban
just concluded a contract for nine
hundred more cannon f or eoant defense
making fifteen hundred in all that the
French w'ill have had of him. This
gun which he is making at Saint Denis -
is thu terrible cngino which did
such deadly execution at Sfax. The
French are enchanted with it. Un
doubtedly it is destined to revolution-
i/.o warfare. It seems as if nothing
could stand before it. On some of
their now ships the French carry
twenty-four of these anus. A torpedo
boat would have a lively time while
approaching n craft armed in this fash
ion. Tlio bold donixons of the assail
ing domon-barqucii ils unginu of
destruction hidden beneath f ho water's
surface , would literally take their
lives in their hands , and would most
probably IOHO those lives. Itisdilli-
cult to say whether or not wo should
see a spook of war in all these tre
mendous armaments. 'Ilia Z'roneh ,
as you perhaps know , nro building so
many new ironclads that thu English
nro beginning to got nervou.- , and to
inquire what it all means , Six or
eight magnificent war ships are now
approaching completion in French ar
senals. The Germans have very re
cently passed an appropriation to pay
for two hundred and twenty-fivo now
guns of the Hotclikiss model , which
are to bo made in Magdeburg. Field
batteries of this wonderful arm would
bo capable of something , wliich the im
agination ufiiHos to consider. How
much longer will war bo possible if
these improvements continue/ / Good
sense must one day revolt against
slaughter , Hotohkiss , armorer , and
VoroKchagin , painter of the horrors of
war , are veritable apostle.i of peace.
General Yon Wordorw ndvisod old
Emperor William to buy all Yores-
clmgiu's pictures and to burn them , j
This was not waggery ; ( he Prussian ,
whoso tr.ido is war , was afraid of I he
MingiiiK commentaries made by tlio
realist upon that trade. And by nnd
by thu soldier will say "WlinC Stand
up before nmchinc * which can tire
ei hly shots per minulo. Do yon take
us for idiots' War is no longer possi
ble" ' These gigantic armaments -
this mad fever to secure good store nf
every new engine of destruction in
vented perhaps indicates Kuropo's
hatred detoaUtion of war and her
determination to prevent it by mak
ing it , like poison , RO terrible that no
"lie shall dnro to approach it with
other than \tremest caution. Hut
poiImps also - , ih , dreadful porlmpi -
the child will want to see what its toy
is like when it has oneo gotten it well
into its possession. No European can
deny that he considers war as eon-
Mmtly possible , that possibilityis.'tho
potent reason for the looking up of
% .vst capital in cannon nnd small arms.
'I liu Pioiich keep three millions of
tiilo.i in their arsenals all the time
now. They IIOVIT intend to bo caught
again ns they were in the war of IS70
and I.S71. And they are right. They
are forced into their line of conduct
l > y tlio action of llioir neighbors.

Tlio Illinois Corn Crop.
The ollicial report of the corn crop
of Illinois of hist season strikingly ex
hibits the loss inflicted on that state
in this MHO crop by the drought.
The whole yield was 174,000,000 ,
bushels , against l fiO,000,00 ! bushels
m 1880 and . ' 150,000,000 bushels in
1.S71 * . The deficiency as compared
with 187 ! > was 170,000,000 bushels ,
which , at thu moderate price of 40
cents a bushel , would bo § 70,400,000.
It is impossible that so great a loss as
this can bo inflicted on the people of
a slate without being seriously felt.
Illinois is the largest corn producing
state in the Union , and Illinois farm
ers are exceptionally thrifty and
prosperous ; but other states have
suffered a similar loss in their grain
crops , and if the whole could bo esti
mated in figures it would bo an item
if serious proportions. The drought
was worst in the southern part of Iho
elate. Only eight counties in the
whole state show an average of 40
bushels to the acre , and they in the
central and northern portions. In
Iho southern counties the averages are
pitiably small. The highest are in
I'nion and Monroocounties 15 bush
els to the aero. The greater number
of counties run below 10 bushels
some ti , some 5 , and some ! ( bushels ;
nnd six counties show an average of
old } * 1 bushel to the acio , which is as
near nothing as a farmer can imagine.
The average for thu 1)4 ) southern coun
ties is only fiJ , bushels , and this on
lands capable , with voty moderate
cultivation , of yielding 40 to f > 0 bush
els ,
Corn is the chief , and , it may bo
said , the only feeding grain used in
the west. It is converted into swine ,
cattle , horses nnd mules. When it is
abundant these animals can bo raised
almost without limit , but when the
crop is short , as it was last year , Iho
entire live stock interest reflects the
cahi'iiity.
P'i'0l > THAT COUGH.
