but no greater than the Tribune's was
in this field over its contemporaries.

had or not has yet to be proven, but the
colt was very lame and finished abso-
lutely last, while Funalo won under a
pull from the handsome filly. Of course,
there has been no end of hostile criti-
cism over the race, and as the owner of
Morello is a man of shady antecedents
it is no subject of wonder that the
chronic growlers, who would kick if in

him out as target for their snarls.

"There was no inducement whatever
for him to win the race" growled 3
veteran sport, on the sidewalk near our

won but ten dollars with fifty. How

to tell his friends that Morello was fit to
60 for a mans life. and then put out
some man with $1,000 to s2500 of his

The defeat of the derby colt Cadmus
by that plain but honest colt Sir Reel
shows what good horses the Altos are to
run in the mud. Cadmus was the pick
of Palo Alto last spring, then Tom Will
Iiams took him east and that corpulent
gentleman was very confident of annex
ing the derby with him, but the colt
caught a severe cold, as did his stable
companion, Picton, who died OF pneu-
monia. Forfeit was paid on each, but
Major Corrington worked like a good
fellow on Cadmus and rounded him up
to a race, only to have him beaten by
Sir Reel, good but never great colt.
Cadmus, wien properly conditioned,
outciasses Sir Reel just as badly as
Morello outclasses Don Fulano.

SOME HORSE GOSSIP.

The defeat OF the great S.year-old
Morello (whom many believed to be q
better horse than either Salvador, Tam
many or Lamplighter) by good. COM
mon place colt like Don Fulano. in two
successive races, was more than an
ordinary ''fscer" for the talent at San
Francisco on Thursday last. Here was
a colt that covered mile and quarter
at the rate of 40 3-5 to the mile in a
field of IA horses, beaten by colt whose
best mile up to date had been 1:43.
True, he was conceding six pounds to
the black colt, but there was more than
that difference between them whenever
the son OF Eolus was in any kind OF
shape. He had always run well when
his trainer (who is also his owner) had
pronounced him right, and here he was
beaten by something barely above the
rank OF selling platter. You might as
we'll seek to compare Sir Bevys with
Donovan in England or Dunlop with
Abercorn in Australia.

On the former occasion when these
two colts met, which was in the Fame
Stakes at one and three quarter miles,
Van Ness told all his friends that Mo-
relic was short of work and advised them
not to back him as the black colt looked
fit for bruising race. in addition to
which he had shown a fondness for q
heavy track. SO on that occasion most
of the horsey eonnoisseurs let Morello
severely alone. There were seven starters
on that occasion and Morelio, though
beaten, was outrunning the winner very
fast at the finish. So the talent made
up their minds that the Fame Stakes
would key the bay colt up to bruislng
race. He stripped 80 we'll on the day OF
the race that odds of one to three were
first obtainable, but one to five was all
that could be had at the time OF start
ing. Don Fulano was quoted at three
TO one at the opening, but those who had
backed him in the Fame played him 80
finely apd persistently that his starting
price was five to two. The only other
starter was Dan Miller's filly Charmian
by Tyrant out of Unity by Onondaga.
whose figures were twelve to one straight
and five to one for place. Her hackers
