HIS HrsHNEss WINS.
Exciting Finish in the Great Futurity Stakes
Other Racing Events.


The great futurity stake race was run a,
sheepshead Bay on Saturday afternoon and
His Highness, the blue-blooded colt owned BY
d. Gideon, showed in front of the field at the
finish. winning the richest stake ever run for in
this or any other country. This year the fu-
turity was worth $4,000 and heavens knows
what it will be worth next year. The legal
difficulties in the case Of Corrigan's Huron
were still further complicated by that speedy
westerner coming in second in the great race.
Huron, it will be remembered. had been dis
qualified by the club, but the courts
had reinstated him. The club, however.
still refused to receive Corrigan's entrance
money and ordered the bookmakers to make
no bets on Huron. Nevertheless, when the
twenty-five blue-blooded racers went to the
front for the great race Huron was among the
number and when amid a tremendous cheer
from u, 600 voices the horses passed under the
wire Huron was a good second to His Highness,
with Yorkshire Belle third and Dagonet
fourth. The jockey club, however, in their
decision ignore Huron and propose to pay
second money to Yorkshire Belle. Corrigan,
with seemingly clear case in his favor, will
sue for the second money.
