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.
