THE EXCITING FUTUR[TY
HIS RICHNESS WINS WITH YORK
WILLIE BELLE SECOND.

the Contest-The Starters
NEW York, Aug. 29.-Judge McAdam
of the superior court granted mandatory
Injunction requiring the Coney Island
Jockey Club to enter Edward Corrigan's
2-vear.old colt Huron in the contest for the
futurity stokes at Sheepshead bay. The
judge, in his decision, provides, however,
that the owner Of Huron must pay the $3.50
entrance fee and give bond of $1,000 to
secure the club from any damage. If the
horse wins, however, the club may decide
neverth eless that some other horse won, but
it would in that case be answerable 10 Cor
rigsn for damages if, in his suit against the
club. it be decided that the horse was eligi-
BILE for the race.
AT THE TRACK.
SHEEPsHEAD BAY, n. Y, Aug %
When Ed Corrigan was victorious In his
legal skirmish with the club and secured
mandatory injunction it was thought that
there would not be any further trouble, but |
the club officials were determined not to
recognize the horse in any way whatever.
When his jockey, Overton, went in
to weigh he was not allowed to
pass the scales, 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,
and finished second, and now Corrigan will
have to sue the club for S., $3.50 that belongs
to tie second horse.
Light overcoats were in demand. The
grounds never looked prettisr, and there
was only one drawback-the track was not
fast. 1t was lumpy all over, wet in spots.
and such thing as fast time was out of the
question. 1t was without doubt the largest
