WON A PURSE OF $4,000.
MORELLO TIE WINNER OF THE
GREAT FUTURITY RACE.

and Spectators Confident That He
Would Not Win-A Couple OF Fast
Ones Left Behind in the Great Strug-
gle for First Place.
SHEEPsHEAD BAY, Aug. 27.-The great
Fusurity has been run and won by horse
that under ordinary circumstances would
not have been permitted to leave his stable.
Morello this afternoon, beneath a clouded
sky. before 10000 spectators, and over a
track deep ia mud, captured the great event
by two lengths from August Belmonts
Lady Violet. While the winner stood at
the post before the race bad started saliva
fell from his nostrils TO the trAc ks in pro-
fuse quantities, and the so or 100 people
who had journeyed to the post to see the
seventeen contestants begin ths Futurity
struggle thought Trainer Frank Van Ness
must be crazy to send his colt to the post in
such condition. They were amazed be-
! yond 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 MOrello's
| victory demonstrates, first, that he ls an
exceptionally game animal. and secondly,
| that this years 2-year-olds are worse than
bad lot. There was a good start, with
Lovelace 10 first place Oh the rail. He was
| outspeeded in the opening sixteenth by
| BelIad JAnR, d colt on which Hamilton was
| endeavorlng to make runaway race. At
the bend into the homestretch proper, or at
the end Of three furlongs, Morello was seen
to be breaking through from the bunch.
| At the half-mile post he was at the Bella
| donna colts neck, and Hamilton began to
whip Keene's colt in desperate but futile
effort to retain first place. Nearing the last
-
| the air and came down with vicious severity
| on MoreIlos side. From that point to the
finish it was no race al all, Morello easily
| outspeedlng his opponents aud winning,
| eased up in the last dozen strides, by two
lengths. in l:l2 Is, corkiug good time con-
siderinR the heavy condition Of the track.
| Lady Violet beat Belladonna, colt, by a
neck for second place. The first two horses
| were the faYOrites.
WHERE THE GLORY WENT.
AS a great horse race it was failure. all
the glory going to the winner for his game
ness IN running such race in the face OF
h's severe attack OF influenza. There we're
two very angry jockeys at the track wlen
the veteran rider, William Hayward, was
lifted into the floral chair adorned with a
horseshoe bearing the word "Futurity,n in
pinks. They we're Jockeys Fitzpatrick and
isaac Murphy. Fitzpatrick has ridden
Aorello in nearly all his races and
1t was his great desire to throw his
leg over him and win the Futurity. Besides
he was to receive $1,000 if Morello won.
Gideon & Daily, who have the first call on
Fitzpatrick, gave him to understand that
he could ride the colt, and he knew nothing
to the contrary until this morning, when
the firm notified him that he would have to
| remain on the ground and they would start
Annie f., a colt, and did not PROPOSE to
permit Fitzpatrick TO ride any other horse
IN the race. Fitz was too heavy to make
Annie f. colts weight, and Slmms was
given the mount.
The other aggrieved jockey is Isaac Muir
ply. Murphy is under contract 20 the
Ehret stables, which started two candi-
dates in Sir Francis and LidEerwood. Ehret
refused 70 let Murphy ride either one OF the
colts and also declined to let him ride
Morello. By this action Murphy lost all
| chance OF receiving a S., 900 fee.
The trainer of Morello was in a state Of
mind. Both Fitz aud Murphy had prom
ised to ride his colt, but at the last moment
| neither could obtain the necessary per-
mission from their respective trainers
| Fortunately Billy Hayward was disenEaged
and he accepted the mount, for which he
| will receive 81, ZOO.
From day oreak until sunset the sky wore
a threatening appearance and CAUSED fall
