Mulkey, the trainer OF Tim Murphy, 10 remove
his horse from he grounds. The trio are well
known In lIf0Tuia but This Is their first inYa-

full brother TO Oregon Eclipse and proba-
bly, quite as good Il racehorSe, must have
opened the eyes of racegoers in Chicago

six furlnngs in a field of five. and simply
romped home first by four lengths und er a
big pull. Pagan Tom King and Blue
Banner were each better favOrites, but
Hercules run them fairly off their legs
1t was rumOTed abont racing circles last
night that the reported sale Of Monowai to
Phil Dwyer, the prominent Eastern turf
man, for $4,000 was all myth. On the
contrary, that the local supporter Of The
turf, w. OBJ. Macdonough, had secured the
colt at the figure named, and tBat lie Is now
at the Arcade in sacramento. Ii so, yari-
Gus persons supposed TO be connected in
some way or another with the original own
ers of me colt must be guilty OF drawing
the long bow. One man 10 particular is said
10 have stated that he saw Dryers check
al the Palace Hotel in payment for the colt
The statements, too. that he had been sent
East must also be untrue. NJ. Macdonough
could not be found yesterday up to late
hour last night so no confirmation OF the
latest rumoT could be obtained.
