SHEEPsHEAD BAY. Aug. 27.-The
great Futurlty has been run and won by
q horse that under ordinary conditions
would not have been permitted to leave
his stable. NoTeilo this afternoon. be-
heath clouded skies. before only 10000
spectators and over track deep in
mud. captured the great event by two
lengths from August Belmont's Lady
Violet. While the winner stood at the
post before the race had started. saliva
fell from his nostrils 10 the track in
profuse quantities. and the fifty or hun
dred people that had journeyed to the
post 10 see the seventeen contestants
for the Futurity struggle thought that
Trainer Frank y an Ness must be crazy
TO send his colt to the post in such con-
dition.
They were amazed beyond description
to Learn. upon their return TO the judges
stand, that this same colt had
won the $4,000 prize by two
open lengths from Lady Violet. Mo
rello's victory demonstrates two start
ling facts. First. that he is an excep-
tionai!y game animal. and second,
that this years twO-year-0lds are VERSE

with Loyelace in first place on the rail.
He was outspeeded in the opening six
teenth by the BelIadonna cotton which
Hamilton was endeayoring TO make
runaway race. At the bend into the
home stretch proper. or at the end of
three furiOngs. MoreilO was seen TO be
breaking through from the bunch. At
the half-mila post he was at the Bella
donna colts neck. and Hamilton began
10 whip Keene's colt in desperate but
futile effort TO retain first place.
Nearing the last furlong post Hay
wards whip went up in the air and
came down with vicious severity on
NIorello's side. He then took line in
each hand and began to ride the game
son OF Eoius. who was right at home in
the mud his daddy loved so well. From
that point to the finish il was no race at
all, MOrello easily Outspeeding his op-
pOnepts and winning, eased up in the
last dozen strides. by TWO lengths in
1:12 Is. cOrkIng good time considering
the heavy condition of the track.
Garrison rode one of his o!d-time
finishes on Lady Violet, but she had
met her master and could only struggle
IN second, beating the Beliadona colt
neck for second money. As a great
horse race it was a failure. all the glory
going TO the winner for his gameness in
running such grand race in the face
OF his severe attack OF influenza. There
were
Two Very Angry Jockeys
ct the track when the veteran rider.
William Hayward, was lifted into the
floral chair. adorned with a horseshoe
bearing the letters "Futurity' in pinks.
They were Jockeys Fitzpatrick and
Isaac Murphy. Fitz has ridden Mo-
relic in nearly all of his races. and it
was his great desire to throw his leg
over him and win the Futurity. Besides
he was to receive a fee of $1,000 if
Morell0 won.
Gideon IL Daily, who have first call
on FitZDatrick. gave him TO understand
that lie could ride the colt. ana he knew
nothing 10 the contrary until this morn
ing, when the firm notified him that he
would have to remain on the ground, as
they would start the Annie colt.
and did not propose to permit
Fitzpatrick TO ride any other horse
in the race. Fitz was too heavy to
make Annie F'S weight. and Simms
was given the mount. This explains
FitZ's not riding MOrello. also his loss of
$1,000 that surely would have been his
had Gideon Il Daily give him permits
sion TO ride Morello 10 victory.
The other aggrieved Jockey is Isaac
Murphy. Murphy is under contract to
the Ehret stable, which started two can
GldateS III Sir Francis and LedgerWood.
Mr.. Ehret refused to let Murphy ride
either one OF the colts. and also declined
10 let him ride Morelio. BY this action
Murphy lost all chances of receiving the
$1,000.
HayIvard's Great Luck.
The trainer of Morello was in a state
of mind. Both EitZ and Murphy had
promised to ride his colt. but at the last
moment neither could obtain the neees-
sary permission from their trainers.
Fortunately Billy Hayward was olsen
gagged. and he accepted the mount. for
which he will receive the $1,000. The
friends of Fitzpatrick and Murphy are
tonight denouncing the Ehret and Dalv
and Gideon people in very strong terms,
while FltZ and Ike are mad clean
through over losing the $1,000. From
