THE VICTORY OF IROQUOIS.
London, June 5. — When Count great horse Gladiator won the Derby in 1865, the French rejoiced that Waterloo had been avenged, and the Americans in London just now are ready, in the exuberance of their enthusiasm over Lorillard’s triumph, to wipe all the traditional grievances against Great Britain off from the slate. The oldest frequenters of the Downs declare that they never heard such cheering as greeted Archer and Iroquois when the latter’s number went up. The average Englishman looked on without dismay at the American competition in manufactures and trade, and until Iroquois passed the post on Wednesday he laughed at the idea of the United States trying to conquer England at Epsom. The Sporting Life says: Iroquois, Archer, and the Americans were applauded all in one. The English betting public have lost heavily on Peregrine. The Americans did not make much, most of-'them having put their money on Farrel during the winter. Archer has received many valuable presents from the American Continent for the marvellous skill he showed throughout the race. •- »-r " ”
