The California Breeder and Sportsman,
In a recent issue, has the following 70 say
about the arrival OF Morello at the Bay
District track near San Francisco,
.,rhe long and anxiously looked Tor
F,ltrton stable Of Frank Van Ness arrived
al Bay District track yesterday. FRANK
Van Ness is well known 10 Californians,
and has many friends here or course ms
wonderful colt M0feilo was the centre VI
attraction for a large assembly OF morse
lovers yesterday, and viii continue 10 De
until every interested one has toasted
his eyes ON the bay son Of Eolus and
Cerise Morello was bred at bllershe'
Albemarle county, Va. His sire was
Eolus, son Of imp. bennington and Fanny
Washington, by Revenue, his dam, Cerise,
Is by Moccasin, son Of Macaroni, winner
of the Derby and sire OF the dam of
Ormonde lie is a seal-bay colt, with
black points. MorellO was good look
ing yearling, but on the cars on the road
TO the New York sale he was badly used
up so much so that when he was led
into the sale ring no one would DID on
the colt because his hooks were so badly
swollen that they were at least three
times their natural size. Mr.. bernard
boswell. a Virginian. knew about the
colts misfortune on the cars, and Just
as the auctioneer was about 10 order
Morello out of the ring boswell bid 800
for the colt, and TO his great surprise the
colt was knocked down TO him. Moreiio
was shipped back to Virginia and III
though he showed 20 be astOnishingly fast,
no one could be induced TO buy the young
ster. MoreIlo was taken TO Washington
and. in the races run, showed to be no
ordinary colt Several prominent own
ers tried 70 buy the colt by telegraph,
bur Prank Van Ness got in ahead Of every
one Van Ness had little money at the
time. but he hustled off 10 Philadelphia
and raised the 300 William NJ. Slngerly
becoming half owner in the colt AS
two-year-old Morelo started in seventeen
races and was first past the post in no
less than fourteen.
Frank Van Ness. part owner and trainer
OF MOrello, was a jockey when thirteen
years old, and after varied experience
got together a stable Of runners. AFTER
making great preparations to win for
tune" said Mr. Van Ness, my jockey
sold me out for a new coat and a straw
hat That so disguised me that l sold
my thoroughbreds and became a driver of
trotters.
Van Ness was again attracted 10 the
running horse business about two years
ago lie saw Morello run at Washington,
and was so infatuated with the son of
Eous and Cerise that he purchased the
colt for a mere bagatelle of what he
was worth. The wonderful triumph Of
Morello in the great Futurity made Van
Ness a rich man. as the stake was worth
some $50 600. Unlike many another winner
of the Futurity. Morello lived up 10 his
two-year-old form and his wonderful
triumphs at the Washington Park meet
ing stamped him as the very greatest two
year-old the American turf has ever
known, and his wonderful one mile and
a quarter at Washington Park, when he
equalled the worlds record, will long be
remembered by every one interested in
turf matters.
The Elkton string is as follows: Morello

Louis. and can ride at log pounds.
