A NARROW ESCAPE.
The "iardley-bred Encounter, a brother to Energy ana Enthusiast, was a proof of what care and patience will sometimes do. Mr A. W. Cox gave 2,!>oogs. for this son of Sterling and Cherry Duchess at the Newir.nrket Jv.'y Stakes of 1801, and he made such an exhibition of himself in the July Stakes the following year that Mr Cox most seriously and emphatically expressed his opinion that the only effective cure for such incompetence was a bullet, to which he proposed to treat his expensive purchase. His friend.Mr T. J. Douglas, however, rescued the 2.300g5. worth by offering to take the colt home, and see whether he could not be made into something. To Sussex Encounter was therefore conveyed. At first Mr Douglas kept him at his own place for a while, and afterwards sent him to Findou, where William tioater put him Into work, and as a four-year-old he commenced a move than usually successful career by winning the Long-stock Plate at Stockbridge.
