IROQtTOIS, THE WINNER. '
New York, June I.— The Spirit of the
Times furnishes the following history
of Iroquois, the Derby winner: Iro
quois was bred by A. Welch at the Erden
heim stud, Chesnut Hill, Pa., and was foaled
in 1878. He "was purchased by Pierre Loril
lard, on joint account by the brothers, with
ten or twelve other yearlings. Among them
were Blaze 3, Spinaway and Saunterer. The
brothers subsequently divided the purchase,
and Iroquois fell to Pierre Lorillard.
He is a rich brown colt, with a blaze
face, and near hind foot white above the
pastern.-and about fifteen hands three inches
high. On the 30th of August, 1879, he was
shipped to Liverpool, and went from there to
Newmarket. He trained into line shape early
in the season, and ran with much success.
At the Newmarket second spring meeting he '
won the Newmarket two-year-old plate from
•even others. He was beaten at the Epsom
summer meeting for the colt stakes by Lord
Calthorp's Angelina, but at the same meeting
h°. won the two-year-old stakes. At Ascot he
was beaten by Mr. Leigh's Sir Charles, and at
the July meeting was beaten by a head by Lord
Falmouth's Balgal for the July stakes. At
the same meeting he won the Chesterfield .
stakes from Gothers. At the Sandown second
summer meeting he was beaten by Lady
Chelmsford for the Great Kingston plate. At
Goodwood he won the Levant stakes from five
others. He ran four other races, but he did
not win either. His recent effort for the 2,000 ,
guineas, when he was probably beaten through
mismanagement, by Peregrine, showed that
still retained his previous high form.
THE RACE.
The scratching of Cfimeliard caused others
to come to shorter prices in betting nt the
start, which was even on Peregrine and four
to one against Geologist. At ihe start Mar
shall Mac Donald took a blight lead of Culaden
and St. Louis. These three came on in
line clear of Cumberland, Don Fulano, Town
Moore, Geologist and Fortissimo. The next
lot were Iroquois and Peregrine. On passing
the mile post St. Louis, Tristan, Town Moore,
Iroquois and Peregrine were prominent, with
Don Fulano well up. There was little altera
tion in position to Totterham Corner, where
St. Louis was beaten, and Peregrine, after run
ning against Geologist and nearly capsizing
hini, took a slight lead. On entering
the straight and at _ distance from the
pole he looked like winning in a canter, but
Iroquois came on with a rush, aud, heading
Peregrine in a few strides, won cleverly, with
Peregrine second, and Townsmoore
third, followed by Schobil, Cum
berland, Voluptuary Tristan, Lime
stone, Geologist and Fortissime, in the order
named, and others tailed off. The track was
in good condition and very hard. The royal
party present at Epsom included the Princess
Louise of Cambridge, and the prince of Saxe-
Wieniar.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
Peregrine's appearance gave general satis
faction to his fanciers, and Iroquois seemed to
be in the best of spirits. His action was much
admired. After one break away a good start
was effected. When the horses were first seen
.it the top of the hill it was difficult to make
out from the grand stand who held the advan
tage, but coming down the hill Peregrine,who
was on the inside, had a fair lead, and his
friends began to shout, "Peregrine wins." As
they turned the corner Archer's colors were
pressing forward on the stand side. The
two leaders ran an exciting race up to the
grand stand, where Iroquois' nose showed in
front, aud he continued to get in until past the
judges' stand. The finisn was splendid.
Marshal Macdonald was ordered to make
the running for Don Fulano. He retained the
lead for a quarter of a mile when he was joined
by St. Louis The pair ran together to the
mile post, where St. Louis took a slight lead.
Marshal Macdonald, however, continued to
keep close up until the corner was rounded,
where both he and St. Louis were beaten. Vo
luptuary then took the lead, but dropped back
directly. Town Moore, Tristau and Peregrine
now came to the front with Dou Fulano and
Scobell next. Tristan was almost directly
beaten. Peregrine and Town Moore ran in
the order named to the grand 6tand, where
Iroquois showed in front and continued
gaining until part the judges' stand. Despite
this Don Fulano did good running to and past
the corner; the last five, in which he was in
cluded, were beaten a long way.
Details of the Race.
New York, June I.— Cablegram: Derby day
— as largely attended. Before the great race
there was a sprinkling of ladies, and here and
there the jockeys in bright colors lent an ad
ditional plcturesqueness to that which is per
haps the pleasantest and certainly the most
peaceful portion of the great course. The
norses, as they were walked about in the pad
dock, were followed by a crowd
of admirers, many walking alone
with the horses, examining their
points. Sometimes a favorite would be
brought to a stand under a little group of
trees in the center of a paddock, the shade of
which was peculiarly grateful. It was here
that the
FASHIONABLE JOCKEY, FRED. ARCHER,
qu'etly waited for the time when his American
mount should be ready. The entire string of
horses then performed tbe usual paddock
parade, walking round the ring preceded by
policemen. Iroquois, Geologist and Scobell
were eagerly scanned and the remarks seemed
unfavorable to the Yankee horse. One gen
tleman audibly remarked, "Iroquois looked as
if he would be easier beaten over
hurdles then on the flat" The favorite, Pere
frlne, did not join in the parade of the pad
ock. After the parade came the preliminary
canter on the course towards the starting
point. Archer, who rode Iroquois, received a
tremendous ovation on coming in to weigh.
He rode in six races out of 6even yesterday,
and scored four victories, including a dead
heat for the maiden plate on Black Lilly, filly,
besides which he ran second on Deer Wucher
er and Dreamland for the Ashland stakes and
the Welter handicap plate respectively.
He now heads the list of winning jockeys
this year with a total of fifty-two to his
credit. His successes last year at a corres
ponding rate were thirty-nine. When it was
rumored yesterday he would not ride Iroquois
the betting went from six to one down to nine
to one, but it recovered immediately
when it was known the celebrated
jockey would ride the American horse. The
AMERICANS WERE JUBILANT
over the victorious horse and his no less re
nowned jockey. Among those present were:
T. T. Walton, St. James Hotel, New York;
Capt. V. H. Hayne, Alexander Newburger, G.
Slossen, L. 81ossen, John McCullough, A. H.
Hummel, Pearl Icelinge (the last two named
being guests of Bir Dastly Howland Robbins
Campbell), Frank Uffner, Edwin Booth, Signor
Peragini, Maurice Barrymore and wife, and
George Drew.
THE NEWS IN NEW YORK.
New York, Junel.— The news that Pierre
Lorillard's 3-year old colt Iroquois won the
English Derby, was received in this city with
enthusiastic expressions of pleasure in sport
ing circles and at the clubs. At the Union
Club Pierre Lorillard stood in the center of a
crowd of 100 excited men, who congratulated
him upon the ownership of the first American
horse which has won even a piace in the
Derby. A little before noon a party from the
Union Club started for the Jerome Park races,
Lorillard's carriage being
DECORATED WITH BUNTING,
was greeted with cheers from different groups
of clubs and sporting men along the route.
For some time past American and English
critics have spoken highly of Iroquois, and
consequently he has been quite heavily backed
here . Twoweeks ago the Spirit of the Times
said: "In considering the chances in public
form we are nnable to assent to
the idea that any English-bred colt
ought to win the Epsom race
this year nor last. No one of them has raised
up to the form shown by Iroquois. His vic
tory to-day will make him one of the most
prominent favorites for the races at Ascot,
and Goodwood, and will probably make him
first favorite for the great St. Le^er race in
autumn.
lorillard's stake.
Newtort, R. I. June I.— lt ib stated here
Lorillard wins $2,000,000 on the Derby.
BRITISH JEALOCSr.
The Standard says: The success of Iroquois
did not seem popular, and all the cheering
was for Jockey Archer.
The Daily Telegraph says: Whether Jockey
Archer, Iroquois, or the Americans were most
cheered it is difficult to say, but a more
tremendous ovation has never been witnessed.
NEWSPAPER COMMENT.
The Daily Telegraph thus 6peaks of the
American horses this morning: During more
than a century no previous celebration of
what Mark Twain calls the great cockney
holiday has seen four American champions
arrayed among the starters. Patriotism
demands that the sy mpathies of Englishman
should rest rather with Peregrine and St.
Louis than with Iroquois and Don Fulano, but
it fairly may be doubted whether it would not
be to the advantage of the large
and miscellaneous army of men who
get their living off the British turf, that
the American horse should win . This after
noon Pierre Lorillard and Jas. R. Keene are
both of them conspicuous for wealth and en
terprise, and the triumph of an animal carry
ing their colors would be the signal for a
great transference of colts and fillies bred in
Kentucky, Tennessee, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, New York, or Vireinia,
from the new to the old world. It would be,
moreover, not a little significant of the in
fluence produced by tßs.recent successful per
formances of translantic horses in English
races upon the value of thoroughbred stock
in the United States, that a yearling colt has
just been knocked down in the State of
Tennessee under the hammer for 1,500 guineas,
by far the largest price ever paid in America
for a thoroughbred yearling. It is certain
that American colU will henceforward play a
more noticeable part in the two great 3 year
old races in England and France. Already
Keeue ha 6 a round reward for his spirited out
lay, seeing that the Grand Prix de Paris ap
pears to be at the mercy of his fine colt, Fox
hall . Nor let it be supposed that love for
thoroughbred horses is a taste but recently ac
quired by what Gladstone calls our "kin beyond
the sea." For at least a century and
three quarters the finest thoroughbred blood
of these islands has been transporfed westward
across the Atlantic. Among the winners of
the Derby the Americans have taken from us
Diomed and Saltran, John Bell and Spread
Eagle, Sir Harry and Archduke, Lapdog,
Priam and St. Giles. The list of other famous
stallions of Belgravian mothers which have
also gone west, is as long as the Homeric cat
alogue of 6hips assembled before Troy. The
United States has spent an enormous sum in
buying the best and finest of these animals,
and when, as will sooner or later inevitably
be the case, they meet with European success,
let no grudging jealousies be interposed to
mar England's gracious and cordial reception
of the well-merited victory.
The Times says: Iroqnois did not seem the
least distressed at the finish. It may now be
fairly admitted the Derby has changed from a
national to an international affair.
The News says: We shall not grudge tho
Americans their victory, for they have shown
great enterprise in sending thoroughbreds all
the way across the Atlantic. The triumph of
Iroquois was received with tremendous en
thusiasm. Among the drags was one con
taining John McCullough, W. J. Florence and
other well known Americans. The Derby is not
only a national but an international prize and of
the laurels won by America will not be be
grudged her by England.

ST. PAUL TO THE GULF.
Capt. Boyton at Lake City— A Rough Time
in Lake Pepin— Gen. Gerrard to the Front
as an Entertainer.
[Special Telegram to the Globe. J
Lake City, Minn., June 1. — Excitement
has been at fever heat to-day owing to a report"
that Capt. Paul Boyton was to pass through
the lake on his aquatic trip from St. Paul to
Cai^o. The lake has been covered all day by
every conceivable kind of a craft, from a
steamboat to a canoe, and the shores have
been thronged with expectant watchers.
About 11 o'clock the steamer Mary Morton
was seen to heave toward Maiden Rock
bluff, which indicated that the Captain
ha-1 been sighted, and was slowly
wending his way toward the gulf.
Not to be behindhand, your reporter procured
a skiff and hied him to the spot indicated, and
was met by the valiant captain and Mr. Cro
nau, where we learned that they entered the
lake at 2:30 o'clock yesterday, where they
were met by adverse winds, reaching Frontenac
at 10 o'clock last night. Arriving at Fron
tenac they were met at the shore by that esti
mable gentleman, Gen . Garrard, and cared for
during the night. After a refreshing night's
rest the party again took to the water.
The wind was still blowing very fresh and it
was found that the boat conveying their bag
gage was insufficient to stand the waves, and
a run was then made to the village of Maiden
Rock, where a change was made for a largtr
one, and the party proceeded down the lake,
arriving at Lake City at 2:20 o'clock, and ow
ing to the fact that the journey 6ince
morning had been accompanied by
excessive manual labor the party will
remain here until morning. With the excep
tion of weariness and considerable sunburnt
the health of both the captain and Dr. Cronau
is excellent. Both gentlemen speak in the
highest terms of the treatment they received
by the Globe while in St. Paul. The voyagers
were furnished a bottle of ale by the steamer
Mary Morton, which was thankfully received.
After once more reaching the current good
time is expected to be made by the captain,
reaching St. Louis, as he says, about the loth.

about quitting work. Many were knocked
down by flying debris. There were three
boilers in the establishment, all surrounded by
inflammable wood-work. Burning coals from
the furnace scattering in every direction, the
place immediately took fire. The flames ex
tended to a row of frame houses adjoining the
works. People from all sections hastened to
the 6pot. The fire department was promptly

THE ALUMNI.
They Propose to "Go For" Pillsbury and
Folwell— The Old. Prof. Campbell Bow
Revived— Trying to Run the State Univer
elty from the Outside — Programme for
Commencement Day.
There was little of interest at the university
of Minnesota yesterday. The afternoon had
been set apart for the meeting of the alumni
association of the university. Some of the
papers named the hour of meeting as 2 o'clock,
others as 2:30 and others as 3 o'clock. Conse
quently the members of the association strag.
gled In all the way from 2 till 3:30 o'clock, at
which hour the alumni convened to the num
ber of thirty-two at the class room of the pro
fessor of mathematics.
The opening proceedings were characterized
by considerable polite disorder, but finally it
was decided to go into the election of officers
for the ensuing year. Considerable time was
consumed in this operation, the result of the
balloting being as follows:
President— Stephen H. Mahoney.
Vice PresiJent— A. W. Rankin.
Secretary— Mrs. J. W. Miner.
Treasurer— Edward Chatfleld.
Toast Master— Adison Gage, Jr.
Poet— R. P. A. Nix.
Orator— W. M. West.
Some time was consumed in discussing the
advisability of electing an alternate orator, but
the matter was deferred.
Mr. Bassett reported that he and a number
of his associates had endeavored to find the
opinions of the alumni as to the advisability of
holding an annual dinner,and as the sentiment
seemed to be against it they had decided that
none should be given on the present occasion.
The subject of having an alumni dinner next
year was referred to the executive committee
with power to act.
The treasurer's report was submitted, which
showed a balance on hand amounting to
$37.25.
An <tlumnus reported that the petition pre
sented by Prof. Campbell had been considered
by the committee and by the faculty. The
latter body in secret session had rejected the
application by a close vote. While the com
mittee did not approve of the decision they
could but report the facte.
Dr. Sterritt proposed that as the faculty
saw fit to go into secret session whenever it
suited their convenience, the alumni emulate
their example. He made a motion that the
association go into secret session.
The motion was debated at considerable
length, three or four of the members objecting
to such an unprecedented arrangement. A vote
was finally taken, and the motion was carried
by a vote of about two to one. Whereupon
the reporters of the Minneapolis Tribune and
the St. Paul Globe, the only ohtsiders who
had graced the occasion with their presence,
picked up their hats — the latest style of $7
Bilks— and bade the assemblage a polite adieu.
Being ignorant of the reasons for secrecy,
the reporter of the Globe made due inquiry,
and ascertained that there has been, for some
time, a serious misunderstanding between the
faculty of the university and the alumni. Some
time ago Prof. Campbell was driven from the
university, it is alleged, through the machina
tions of President Folwell and Gov. Pillsbury.
Prof. Campbell was esteemed to be a very
competent instructor, and was a favorite with
the pupils and the alumni. His ejection from
the institution was thought to be a wanton
outrage, and the alumni has twice petitioned
the board of regents for his restoration. No
attention has been paid to their petitions,
however, but they are not discouraged, and
propose to move on the works of Folwell,
Pillsbury, and the faculty. What decision
they arrived at yesterday is not known to the
reporter, who did not consider it worth his
while to investigate, as he has learned that
outside interference with the affairs of an in
stitution of that description rarely amounts to
anything.
To-day will be commencement day proper
at the university. The class is a large one,
and tbe programme is, consequently, a long
one. It will embrace tbe following features :

London, June I.— The correspondent of the
Edinburg Scotsman says: The statement that
at a meeting of the cabinet Saturday a pro
posal was made to suspend all public meetings
in Ireland for six months to suppress the land
league is unfounded.
The Manchester Guardian's London corres
pondent says it Is not in the least likely that
the government has determined to deal with
the land league as an illegal organization,
but it is understood that communications
have passed since the arrival in Dublin of
Forster, chief secretary for Ireland, which go
to show the government are determined not to
delay using their powers under the coercion
act to crush intimidation. Forster will return
to London in time to attend to-morrow's cabi

SHOT.
A dispatch from Longhra, county Oalway,
says an agent has been shot near Woodford
for refusing to accept payment of rent on the
basis of Griffith's valuation.
SEAS AND DYING.
In the county of Waterford, where the riot
occurred yesterday, growing out of the sale
of tenants' interests in farms, the people parad
ed the streets all last night. About thirty
civilians are suffering from bayonet thrusts
and sword cuts, inflicted by soldiers. One
policeman died of his injuries, and some
mounted police are not expected to live.
MUST BE PUT DOWN.
The Times says the rumor that the govern
ment intends to adopt stringent measures for
abating the terrorism of the Land League ap
pears to have caused some excitement among
the leaders of the agitation, and Parliament
and the country have 'at length come to un
derstand that the League is an aggressive or
ganization, and that if the law does not put it
down it will put down the law. Terrorism
must be suppressed, whether it takes the form
of vulgar, threatening letters, or assumes the
loftier type of dictation.
THE CLONMEL RIOT. .
New Yobk, Junel.— A London cablegram
tells the story of the origin and progress of the
riot at Clonrael, County - Tipperary, Ire
land. When Moddart, agent of the emergency
committee, was leaving the court, he was re
ceived with groans and hisses. A priest was
passing out of the building when the crowd
made a rush to enter. A policeman, in the
confusion, laid his hand on the priest's arm.
At once a cry went up "Father Maker has been
arrested, crowd became fearfully" excited,
and the authorities at ; once concentrated the
full force of military and constabulary before
the courthouse. ' Bottles, stones and brick
bats were poured on the police, and soldiers.
Capt. SUck, resident magistrate, threatened to
read the riot act, and at that moment a police
man was knocked senseless at his side with a
stone. Oapt. Stack produced the act, and sev
eral priests implored him not to read it, as, If
he did, the consequences would be terrible.
The stone throwing did not cease, and as Capt.
Slack after reading the act pronounced: the
words, "God save the Queen," a stone smashed
the skull of another policeman standing be
side him. The unfortunate man died last even
ing. The police charged on the people with
fixed bayonets, and at the same time th% cav
alry dashed in among the crowd. The scene
was frightful and confusion followed. The
charge of the cavalry down the short etreet
was so impetuous 'that several horses
and riders dashed through shop windows
at the end of the street. The air was
filled ' with stones and bricks, and the fright
ened shop-keepers, who were endeavoring to
put up their shutters, were hurled to the
ground and ridden over. Several hussars
were unhoreed by the crowd and trampled
upon by the horses of their comrades coming
behind them. The charges through the
streets lasted fully half un hour. A portion
of the . crowd fled, while others fa«;ed the
charging horsemen, battering in their helmets
with stones. The hnssars used the flat of
their swords freely, the point and edge being .
strictly forbidden them. One huesar, in
charging around a corner, met with a
serious >* mishap.' His horse stumbled and
fell, and five or six of his comrades
following" swiftly fell over the prostrate horse
and rider. Before the men could recover
themselves their horses had galoped up the
street and the men had to defend themselves
from the mob until the were rescued. Owing
to the exertions of the* priests, several of
whom received many hard knocks, the people
were finally induced to disperse. A soldier of
the Forty-eighth regiment was so seriously
injured his life is despaired of. The doctor
states that the man, if he recovers, will be in
sane. About thirty citizens were seriously
wounded.
POLICEMEN KILLED.
Dublin, June 1. — Reports have reached
Limerick that three policemen were killed dur
ing the eviction riot in County Clare. Riot
ing in Clonmel was resumed to-day. All the
police and soldiers charged the mob, and
many people were ' wounded. The troops
finally cleared the streets.
It is rumored six persons have been shot
dead at Tulla, near Ennis. A sanguinary col
lision is also said to have occurred in tbe town
of Seariff, same county. The castle partisans
Bay the people are inflamed to such a pitch,
and are "so demoralized by agitation, they are
ripe for any mischief. They are also flushed
with partial success over both the civil
and military power, and are be
coming daily more daring. The
soldiery and police are incensed not merely
against the populace, but against the author
ities, who will not permit them to defend
themselves. There is some risk of this indig
nant feeling assuming a form dangerous to
discipline, and may lead to an irrepressible
outbreak of fury against the populace or acts
of retaliation upon the inhabitants of the gar
risoned districts. The war office has ordered
the barracks at New Ross, now occupied by a
troop of hussars, to be fitted with port holes
for musketry.
