SENSATIONAL EVENT.
It was the most sensational Futurity
that has been run. The colt that finally
won carried the crushing impost of 130
pounds, and the eontending horses were
ridden in q most brilliant manner.
Ed Corrigan, owner Of the colt Huron,
had refused to abide by the decision OF
the executive committee that his horse
WIS not eligible, and invoked the aid of
the courts, which granted him a manda-
tory Injunction. The club officials, how
When Jockey Overton went to weigh to
refused to pass him. Then Corrigan
was wroth. He sought his lawyer, and
in company with him demanded that
Overton be weighed. The club officials
gave in and weighed Overton, but re-
fused to Huron a number, and there
was no betting against him. Huron
ran and finished second, and Corrigan
will now have to sue the club for 1906
that belongs to the second horse, the
club officials having awarded it to York
vile Belle.
PERFECT DAY AND LARGE CROWD.
The day was perfect, but the track
was not fast. 1t was lumpy all over,
wet in spots, and fast time was out Of
the question. The crowd was, without
doubt, the largest one that ever wit
messed a, race at Sheepshead Bay. They
began to come early in the morning, and
there was considerable interest taken in
the races preceding the Futurity, but
when that was on, mad rush was made
for the betting ring.
At the post the tension was great.
Every jockey was anxious to get the best
of the start, but Starter Caldwell was de-
termlned there should be no best, and
roundly lectured the boys. Nearly half
an hour was consumed before the crowd
finally set up the yell: ''They're off"
They were. Caldwell had caught them
all we'll in motion, and it was
A MAGNIFICENT START.
Yorkville Belle was the first to show,
but her advantage was slight, and Mars,
Anna B. Lavish, Tringle and His High
ness were quickly Tapped on her. At
the quarter Dagonet, with wonderful
burst OF speed, took the lead, and His
Highness and Huron both moved up.
As they swung into the stretch there
was little to choose between Huron, His
Highness, Yorkville Belle, Dagonet,
Mars and Bashford. Suddenly Overton
shot
HURON TO THE FRONT,
and while there was not a man on the
grounds who had bet on him, everybody
cheered. Mclaughlin, however, quickly
sent His Highness after. while Murphy
was improving his position on Yorkville
Belle. In few strides Huron and His
Highness were on even terms and going
for their lives, Tapped by Yorkville
Belle. So it went on until opposite the
stand, when Mclaughlin gave His High
ness the whip. Despite hir enormous
weight the horse responded gamely.
6lewly but surely he forged ahead while
behind him thundered the field. BY
