run therein and although deponent has rendered behalf
OF said Corran the said o $3.50, in order that SAID

est basing refusal the claim that orc Carter de-
cared 70 the said jockey clu0ming the summer Of 1891
that out Of said race Carter was not the
agent OF Cogsn at said time did said Carter at such
time have any connection with the stable OF the sa Cor

Futurlty stake is valuable worth about $4,000 III
eDnents opinion and the defendant adyertses it TO be
worth at least $50 900. only would the stake be Of
great value plaintiff If Sad horse Huron won It, but the
value CT horse would be increased.
No injury whatever to the defendant by per
hitting Huron to enter contest, while the damages
which the plaintiff will sustain will be rrearabe and
compensated asceraned in proceedings al
law The plaintiff has begun this action to obtain a
mandatory injunction requiring the defendant TO permit
said to enter into the contest known as 1.-THE Futur
fty' and that the said defendant its agents and
wants be enjoined interfering with the said horse
o. preventing the said horse from engaging in the said
test
J. Sergeant Cram. who appeared for the club said
that the horse had been declared out BY John j. Car
ter secretary and agent Of General Jackson. There
had been no notice Of the transfer The horse sent
to the club MIR. Cram declared, the rules Of the
club required Besides this he told the court that The
horse had been lame for time aud for that
the owner had decided not TO run him in the Fuuy.
But wher he recovered and wen good in
,he West the owner suddenly decided to run him for
the rich Futurity Stakes. The Jockey Club mad not
delayed its decision until hour before the
was TO be rum Mr.. Cram said, but had held meet
ing that morning and decided not TO admit the horse
The club had also sent similar decision TO Mr. Cor
rigan about year ago.
Judge McAdam thought the easiest way out Of the
difficulty would be to let the horse run. He might
not win and then the trouble would all be averted
II he did come in first then Mr.. Corrigan and the
Jockey Club could fight the legal battle afterward
The counsel insisted upon decision. however and the
Judge said that he would hand down by 10 O'Clock
this morning.
President Lawrence and, in fact all the officers Of
the club declare that far as they are concerned,
they would like to have Huron in the race that his
presence would tend largely to increase the public iu
terest in the Fuurty, and consequently enlarge the
sttenAance. But in accordance with racing law they
cannot, in justice to other owners, permit Huron to
enter into the contest.
Huron sold in March. 1890. and declared in the
following May by j. J. Carter. Mr.. CoIrigan declares
that Carter not authorized as the agent of Gen
eral Jackson TO declare Huron out Of the Futurty
Carter makes affidavit that he was.
Just about year ago COrrgans secretary tcle-
graphed from Chicago to the Coney Island Jockey
Ciuo TO know If Huron eligible for the
futurty There is doubt about the nature OF the
reply The clubs counsel say that negative an
swer was sent while CoTigan's lawyers maintain that
they have no knowledge of any whatever being
sent.
Mr. Corrig&n arrived here late last night and
met at the ST. James Hotel by Mr. Hummel who is Of
tne opinion that his side will prevail, and that Huron
will start for the Futurlty
