SHgKPsHEAp Bar. August T.--The great
Futurity has been run and won by horse

not have been permitted 20 leave his sta

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 to
the track in profuse quantities, ana
the fifty or one hundred people that
had iourneved 10 the cost TO see the
seventeen contestants begin the futurlty
struggle thought that Trainer FRANK van
Ness must have been crazy TO SEND MS colt
TO the post in such "A condition. Ihey
were amazed beyond description 70 learn,
upon their return TO the judges stand,
that this same colt had won the $19OO
prize by two open lengths from Lady Vio-
LET. Morello's victory Demonstrated
that he ~ an exceptionally game animal,
and secondly, that this years 2-year-oids
are worse than bad lot.
HE RUNNING.
There was a good start, with Loyeiace IN
first place on the rail. He was out
spesded in the opening sixteenth by the
Belladonna colt. on which Hamilton was
endeavOrlng to make runaway race. Az
the bend into the home-stretch proper, or
at the end of three furlongs, Moreilo was
seen to be breaking through from the
bunch. At the half mile post he
was Mt the Belladonna colts neck.
and Hamilton began TO whip keene's
colt in desperate but futile ct
fort to retain first place. Nearing the last
furlong-pOst Haywards whip went up IN
the air and came down with vicious Sc
verify on Morellos side. From that point
TO the finish il was no race at oil, MOrello
easily outspeeding his opponents and WIN
ning. eased up in the last dozen strides by
two lengths IN liz l-5. corking good time,
considering the heavy condition OF the
track
Garrison rode one of his old-time finishes
on Lady Violet, but she has met her mas
ter and could only struggle in second,
beating the Belladonns colt neck for Sc
cond money. As great hOrse-race II was
a failure, all the glory going 10 the winner
for his gameness in running such grand
race IN the face OF his severe attack OF In
fuenza.
ANGRY JOCKEYS.
There were two very angry jockeys at
the track when the veteran rider, William
Hayward, was lifted into the floral chair,
adorned with a horse. shoe bearing the
letters Futurity" in pinks They were
Jockeys Fitzpatrick and Isaac Murphy.
Fitzpatrick has ridden Morello in
nearly all his races, and 1t was
his great desire to throw MS leG over
him and win the Futurity. Besides he
was 20 receive 81 ,O00if Morello won. Gideon
| aud DAILY. who have first call on Fitzpa-
trick. 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 the Annie L. colt and did not pro-
pose to permit Fitzpatrick to ride any
other horse IN the race. Fitzpatrick was
too heavy to make Annie +. colts weight,
and Simms was given the mount.
The other aggrieved jockey 10 Isaac
Murphy. Murphy is under contract TO the
Ehret stable. which started two candidates
in Sir Francis and Lidgerwood. Mr..
Ehret refused to 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 the $1,000 fee.
HAYwARD's LUCK.
The trainer of Morello was in state Of
mind. Both Fitzpatrick and Murphy had
promised 10 ride his colt, but at the last
moment neither could obtain the neces-
sary permission from his trainer. Fortu-
nHtely Billy Hayward was disengaged, and
be accepted the mount, for which he will
receive the $1,000.
From daybreak until sunset the sky
wore threatening appearance, and caused
| falling OH in the expected attendance
from $4,000 10 10000.

bv Major boswell, and sired by imported
Moccasin. Both his dam and his sire went
out from the Bulltield farm. Mr.. Bernard
boswell bought Morello as a faulty yearling
for SlOO he being badly spawned in both
hind legs. He trained and developed him,
aud last spring sold him for $1,000 to Mr..
Van Ness and Mr.. Singerly. of the Phila-
delphla Record.
Mr. boswell was at the races yesterday
