MORELLO is MONARCH.
ONE MILE AND A QUARTER IN Two
MINUTES FIVE SECONDS.
HE EQUALS sALvATOR's FEAT.

Maid Marian Shoots Through the
Hot July Sunlight, Leads by
Fifteen Lengths ut the Quar-
ter, and Is Finally Beaten by
a Short Length.
CHICAGO, July 22.-The browning per-
Torrance of the Washington Park clubs
worlds fair race meeting was reserved
for the last day. This afternoon in the
Wheeler handicap the three-year-old
MOrello flashed through one mile and a
quarter of hot July sunlight in two min
utes and five seconds, thus equaling
Salvatore greatest feat. MOrello's race
is by far the greater, for the reason that
1t was made as three-year-old, carry
Ing eight pounds above the scale, while
Salvador made his record as a four-year-
old, carrying the exact weight assigned
him in the scale for age and sex. Mo-
relic carried III pounds, whereas his
scheduled weight would have been 100.
Salvador carried 122. Morello's per-
Torrance establishes him as the race
horse of the age. He was never whipped,
Jockey Miller scarcely touched him with
the spur. and. at the end toe great colt
was full of running and would not be
refined up for furlong.
The enthusiasm which greeted the
result was tremendous. Those who
had bet on other horses pulled off their
hats and shook them in the air, shout
Ing until the perspiratlon trickled down
their cheeks.
Scarcely second to Morello's perform
ance was that of gentle Maid Marian,
the stable companion of 70 Tambien.
Maid Marian was right at Morello's
flank when the race was over.
There were nine starters in the race.
The Kendall stable pair, Yo Tambien
and Maid Marian. was soon installed a
strong favOrite, and Morello was second
choice, his price advancing from to 5
to 219 to l. Thorpe was on 70 Tamben
and she was confidently expected to
win: Diablo, with only 113 pounds up,
could be had at 5 to l. The other five.
Ray S. Somersault. Bolivar Buckner,
First Ward and Aldebaran, were out
siders in the betting.
Maid Marian sprang out in front at
the drop of the flag, and sci such a pace
as probably no other horse than Mo-
relic could ever have overcome. She
was leading by three lengths at the
stand and by fifteen lengths at the quar-
ter pole. Holders of Kendall stable
tickets shouted with delirious joy, for
at the half the little filly was still out
in front and as full of go as runaway
locomotive. But all at once big bay,
with ears pressed back fiat against his
neck, ridden by a jockey holding on
tightly but doing no urging, moved out
OF the bunch and began to cut down the
lead obtained by Maid Marian. The
spectators recognized MOreilo, and there
was great and prolonged cheer. The
Maid did not decrease her pace in
the least, but MoreliO cut down her
advantage slowly and surely, until at
the head of the straight he was only
three lengths behind, and the others
We're out of the fight. Once straight
ened out for home Perkins for the first
time shook the leader up little, and
for half furlong she held her own;
but then MOrello's powers of endurance
began to tell, ana a sixteenth from
home he was alongside. Maid Marian
hung on gamely and was only beaten
by short length. 70 Tambien got
third money several lengths away.
There was. great enthusiasm over the
race, almost as much praise being
given to Maid Marian as to Morello.
When the time was hung up there was
prolonged cheering, which was renewed
when MOrello came back to the judges
stand. The time for the first mile was
1:3S flat, and altogether it was a memo
rable event.
Although it was getaway day only
two long shots won. Both of them were
two-year-Olds, and in the case of May
Fern at least the judgment of the uet-
tiers was bad. The time III each of the
mile selling races was very fast Bon
ME Byrd scored 1885,. There was a
great dump OIL Van Buren, in the last
race. 1t was his first race of the meet
