"CHERRY AND BLACK"
winner, Australian Star, a five-year-old, carrying io8
lbs. On May 8 David Garrick appeared for the Ches-
            ter Cup, 2/4 miles. He was within a
DW'id tGahe'c  pound of being top-weight, he having 122
Chester Cup  lbs. to Mazagan's 123 lbs. But David
            Garrick was not to be denied this time.
Staying was his forte, and the distance favored him, he
winning easily by two lengths, conceding I3 lbs. to the
second horse. He started for the Epsom Gold Cup,
I Y2 miles, an odds-on favorite, and ran second to
Merry Gal; and thus the career of the "cherry and
black," which had begun at Long Branch in I 873, ended
at Epsom in June, 19oi.
