A popular belief existing has been that
the great colt was named after the chet
of Delmonico's restaurant, New YORK,
which is an error, as the name Of his
! dam is Corise. the French for cherry,
and one OF the best-known varieties OF
! that fruit being called Morelo, the name
was bestowed on the son Of Cerise- In
| this case the choice OF nomenclature was
! left to Mr.. Temple boswell, OF trede-
| ricksburg. and is but an instance OF his
! many happy efforts in that direction.

there are many in the West who Will
wager that he cannot beat such field.

ring may Tacillate the followers Of
MorellO will remain loyal 10 their IA

I'm the Columbus stake also. Morello's ca
reer this season has been n series Of
uninterrupted victories, and such Is his
prowess that as a performer he ranks
second to no horse Of his generation.
Among the virginia delegation at the
Northern tracks. William Garth started
out Monday at Gloucester by winning a
purse race At five furlongs with Artil-
| lerv. on the same day at North Bergen,
| Robert Bradley and his friends thought
| they had n sure thing with his entries

| only securing second place each time,
| with such good performers ~ ClaTus,

got second money I'm dash OF four and
| a half furlongs AZ Gloucester with Nor
ton. son OF the dead King Bolt and Judge
| Hughes brood mare Emma Dreamer.
| Wednesday at Shcepshead Bay II was
thought that NJ f. Dwyer's three-year-
old colt Hammie, by Charaxus OUT OF
| Ethie by Eolus. had n good thing in q

few strides further, the chestnut son
Of Hyder Ali would have won. which

during twenty-six DAYS racing on the

/ never failed to score a place, winning
! five races, running second the same num-
Der and third once. Ada Blue, In the
same stable. came IN third i'm another
| place. while William Garth at Gloucester
| had his bank account increased by Artil-
lery winning his second race Of the week,
and that IN a gallop. which was repeated
! on Friday when the chestnut son Of
The Jacobite placed another dash Of five
furlongs to his credit. Friday ut North
Bercen saw Robert Bradley's bay colt
Miicet get third place in a purse race
at six furlongs. while Clarus was only
able TO get a like position in another
dash. which would indicate that he has
lad too much Of It, game and consistent
colt that he is, and needs a let-up
