Heme years since an adventurous American, 3fir. Ten Broeck, went to England with his stables, and fared badly. In Morris’ auto biography (from which many of the facte in '.be article are taken) is the following account of Ten Broeck and his adventures in England: About fifteen years ago, a Mr. Ten Broeck, an American, took with him to England a stable of horses, for the purpose of competing for the trophies of the English tnrf. These thoroughbreds comprised Prior, Prioress, Le- ejmpte and Charleston—none of them, how ever, fit representatives of tho American race, and having all met with defeat at home; two. Iieeompte and Charleston, being but little bet ter than broken down. They were defeated in their first campaign, and though Prioress, in iho fall of 1857, won at New Market the - '•csarovilch stakes, after a dead heat with Qnecn Bess and El Ham, she was to ravorably weighted by the liandieapper, com pared with the other two dead heaters, that her subseqnen’ victory in tho deciding heat did not add much to the prestige of the American turf. Mr. Ten Broeck then im ported a fresh lot of American horses, and was somewhat more successful. With one of these, Starke, he won the Goodwood cup, and with Umpire carried off several of the two year old racers. Umpire in the folio ving year became a prominent favorite for the Epson Derby, hut in this great race was beaten. Beyond an unimportant attempt in ihe same direction, by Bobert Harlan, of Kentucky, nothing has been done to test the relative speed of the racers of the two countries. When Mr. Tea Broeck first carried his sta ble of race horses to England, some of the papers spoke of the affair as an international one, and of Mr. Ten Broeck as a representa tive American turfman. The truth is, he had never been a leading turfman in this country, and hardly knew anything about racing mat ters. America has had a hundred horses who could have beaten Starke and Prioress in their palmiest hours. Tho six or seveu horses of Ten Broeck were contending against fourteen or fifteen hnndred picked horses on their own gronnd, so that any one can understand that his experiment was no fair test of the relative speed of the American and English horse. Mr. Ten Broeck was one of the cleverest gamblers in the country, and had for years beaten tho most skillful nt their own peculiar games; but regarding racing matters he was deficient. By shrewd management, he got •ootrol of tbo Metaire course at New Orleans, and shortly afterwards msde that celebrated match on Lexington against time for $10,000. It has long been the opinion of shrewd turfmen that the match for the sum stated was no match at all, hut merely a hippndroming affair for the division of the gate money. However that may be, Lexington covered the ground inside 7:19j, the time specified, and gave to Mr. Ten Broeck notoriety as a turfman, which was what he wanted. Having gained his prestige, he embarked for England with bis stable of horses, which, in thst country, whatever may have been his antecedents, provided be has met his betting engagements, give to a man a social standing among turf men. Such a position gnve him a favorable opportunity for making his matchless skill at earda useful to him—an opportunity which he fid not fail to improve. He also made bis stable of horses a self-supporting institution. Aside from the few races which he won, the proceeds of which would not have sup ported him in his extravagant style of living, six months, be made his horses and his posi tion on the tnrf both profitable to him. He took care to make the acquaintance of such Americans visiting England as he knew would bo willing to back his horses, from na tional pride, or desired to back other horses on his judgment. The confidence of such be used to enrich himself. T«n Brceck, with his American ‘•gall,’’ proad of his acquaintance, and more than ready to be fleeced by him, could be seen together at Tattersall’s, at the sport ing clubs, or on the turf, where they would meet aristocratic looking persons, with whom the former seemed on terms of great int : mary. "How are you laying on your horse, Mr. Ten Broeck?’’ Or if ho had none st-rtiug, "What’s your favorite, Mr. Ten Broeck?” “What odds r.re you taking on him, sir?” Ten Broeck, after consulting bis betting book for a few moments, would drawl out, iu his habitually dispassionate lone, "I’m taking three to one, or five to two,” ns tho case might be. His friends would close by hooking him down for ftveml thousand pounds. These ; p -i > -r—■ * rq -t booking bets were but shams, and those ; xT Xv -Hi -c\- X making them with Ten Broeck, his eonfed-' O] cra'es, men moving, too, in the higher ' circles of society, for he was too shrewd to pnt himself in the power of common adven turers upon the turf, whoso -equivocal posi tion might at some future time throw dis credit on his own character. His bets, booked in the presence of his American "gulls,” would incite them to take stock with him in betting on a horse which himself and “pals” knew perfectly well had not a ghost of a chance to wiD. And frequently such bets were made, when it was well known to Ten Broeck and his confederates, that the horse would not start in the race at all. By such cunning frauds as this just related, and his superior skill at cards, he managed to sus tain himscli in England in splendid style for many ytars, and to return from that country with an immense fortune.
