THE FUTURlTY RACE

/ New YORK, August 29-The greet Flu
! turity race, the richest stake race in the
| world, was run on the track of the Coney
| Island Jockey club this afternoon. 1t was
won by His Highness in liza Is, with
| Yorkville Belle second and Dagonet third.
The most sensational Futurity race that
! has ever been run was the one decided at
this course today. 1t was sensational be-
cause Ed CorrigaD, owner of the colt
| Huron, refused TO abide by the decision tof
the executive committee of the club. that
his horse was not eligible to start. and in
voked the aid of the courts: il was seusa-
| tional because the colt that finally won
carried the crushing impost of $50 pounds,
and 1t was sensational because of the
brilliant manner in which the contending
horses were ridden.
When Ed Corrigan was victorious in his
legal skirmish with the club and secured
mandatory injunction, it was thought
there would not be any further trouble:
but the club officials were determined not
to recognize the horse in any way what
ever When his Jockey (Overton) Went to
weigh in. he was not allowed to pass the
scale, and then Corrigan was fighting
mad In company with his lawyer, he
demanded that his boy be weighed, which
was finally done. He was not given a
number, however and there was no betting
against him. The colt ran, finished second
