1t was the most sensational Futurity
that has been run. The colt that finally
pounds, and the contending horses were
ridden in the most brilliant manner. Ed
Corrigan, owner of the colt Huron, had re-
fused TO abide by the decision of the eXecu-
tive committee, that his horse was not
eligible, and invoked the aid of the courts,
which granted him mandatory injunc-
ton. The club officials, however, decided
to light to the bitter end. When Jockey
Overton went to weigh to ride Huron, AS
sistant Secretary Rorke 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 refused 10 give Huron a num-
Der, and there was no betting against him.
Huron ran, finished second, and Corrigau
will now have to sue the club for the 50, 666
that belongs TO second horse, the club Of
| tc1als having awarded it to Yorkville
! Belle
| 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 ques-
| ton. The crowd was without doubt the
! largest one that ever witnessed race at
Sheepshead bay. They began TO come early
| in the morning. There was considerable
| interest taken in the races preceding the
Futurity, but when that was on hand mad
rush was made for the betting ring.
| Up at the post the tension was great.
Every jockey was anxious to get the best
of the start, but Starter Caldwell was de-
| ter,nined tnat, 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 well
in motion and it was a magihcent start.
! Yorkville Belle was the first to show, but
her advantage was slight and Mars, An
mia B.. Lavish, Tringle and His Highness
were quickly Tapped on her. At the quarter
! Dagonet, with a 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 Bash
ford. Suddenly Overton shot Huron TO
the front and while there was not a man
on the grounds VINO had bet on him every
body cheered. Mclaughlin, however,
quickly sent His Highness after him, while
Murphy was improving his position on
Yorkville Belle. In few strides Huron and
His Hlghness were on even terms and going
for their lives, Tapped by Yorkv.lle Belle
So it went on till opposite the stand,
when Mclaughlin gave His Highness the
whip. Despite the enormous weight the
horse responded gamely. Slowly, but
surely he forged ahead while behind him
Numbered the held. BY this time the
crown udu ueCOue uelrlouS, anu auIu tue
greatest excitement ever seen here His
Highness dashee in winner by a length
from Huron, who beat Yorkville Belle hall
a length for place with Dagonet length
away. The judges, however, did moi
recognize Huron.
