The one sensational Futurity that has ever been run was the cn" decidml at this course t-n-day. It was heruiatioonl beeau K1 Corrittun, owner the ooil Huron, r-fUtd to abide by the decision of the Executive Cotnuiittv of the club that his br.rse was not eligible to start, nd iuvi-ked tie aifl of the courts; it was ser national because the Colt tiwvt Bnajlv won carried the crushing import of 1 rH'Unds, and it was sensational liecause of the brilliant manner in which the contending rxs were ridden. When Ed Corriirsn was victorious In his lepal skirmish with the club and cured a mandatory injunction it was thought that there would not bo any further trouble, but the club officials wcr determined not to r-coirnize the borvs in any way whatever.

When his jockey, Overton, went to weiirh in, he was not alIowl to paws the ale, and then Mr. Corriean was fighting mad. In company witli his lawyer he demanded tliat hi boy re welched, wlucu was finally done. He wm not given a nuni-bef, however, and there wan no betting aainl him. Tiic colt ran.

finished second, and now Mr. t'orrigan wiU have to sue the club for the that bo-longs to the second h-irse. The day was one of the mort magnificent that has been enjoyed this yeas. Cool breezi-s. direct from the ocnn, wept through tho raud stand, and, io-Ptcad of fan.i, light overoouts were in d.nand.

The grounds never looked prettier, and there was only one draw back, and that was not a serial, one. The track was not fat. It was lumpy 11 over, wet in spots, and uch a thins as fast time was out of the question. It was without doubt the lurg.t crowd that ha over witiessed a taring at Slieepahen riy. The -dvanee guard put in an appearance about o'clock, and by ones and twos continue to arrive until noon.

Tln-n the rusli cotn-anenced Train after train rolled into the d-pot. and in a few moments a perfect Hrv'am of humanity was pourtns throuh the gate. The rich and tho poor, the fuddunable and the unfaal all wvr auAiuas to seo the Tteatest two-yer-old race ever run in this country, and 'liey jostled ech other In a fvid-natiiri" vay. As the i.o'r fr tle prt to commence approached, a epirlt of unrest seemed to pervade- ioinrnso throng, and it uiored hither and ttither with a force that, while quiet, was nreMj.til-le. Eiri't it would sway toward the laddock, then in tho direction of tin- ring, and w.

to him who attempt to br-nt it. There was con-slJetsble interest manifested in tlie race, lea iw the Westirn record-breaker, and Loan-taka, the Suhurban winner, were among th. entries. The East4-rn horse was th-' but neither was evr ia it. Correction, who was disracefullv lx-ai-ei at Vorrte ftirk tho other day by com-mou selling platers, led from ptajt to finish and won in a drive from Chesa peake.

The reversal of form, showed by Correction wa so startling that old raoe-eoers were dumbfounded, but the judges could ot anythiug wron; Hut it was not to see ordinary hor eontendinc ict thousnmi-dollar purst-s that the journey to tho track had been made, neither was it to see a lot of three-year-olds flght it out for the Dolphin Stakes, and when La Tosra galloped In an easy winner for the latter a sigh of relief went up. A wild ruth was at onoe made for the lietting rins and the yoene that followed was ind scribnhle. Tor the moment men wetm-d to lone all control of themselves, and nothing was thought of but betting. Soma wanted to back one horse, suuie another, and they all wanted tlx- st of th edds. I he pair, 1 1 is Hichnexj.

In the meantime I'ag- onet money had been rolling into tho tookiea' hands lu a regular ist.rewiio Jt ust there was 3 to 1, and at that tens of thousands of dollars were '1 he boo Us Mcod the onslaught inan- fi'lly. but at last they vveie cumpelle 1 to rub, and 5 to 2 wa th'" pri'e. Then there was Vorkville li-lle. She opened at ii to 1, and in a lew uunu -s it.

finally the clear blast of a buple was heard and the cry went up: Tliey're at the A wilil rush was ma 1" for the open, nd then every one vvait-d. eagerly clutching bits of pastelioard that- was to either enrich them or break them. In a few momenta Dash ford, wearing the pea-ocli blue and yellow sash of the Bashford Manor farm, and ridden by I.

When tlio upper (ml of the stand was reached the line was broken, and they all cantered to the post. Then com menced the real strain, l'awerfnl glasses were lveled at tlie horses, turee-tjuarters ef a mile away, and every mov cuM-nt was carefully watched. Up at the post the tension was almost as great, and everybody was anxious to get the best of the start, if possible; but Starter Caldwell was hound that there bli uld be.

no best. Now. Ih.vs he said, I'm going to give you all a fiur start, and I want you to help me." Come tack here, Murphy; what are you break- lug for? That's right, Lanibley; go down to the itaod with that- horse, and 1 11 drjp tie fiag." Jxxjk here, Taral. if you want me to give you the race, say so. way don you come back with tliat horse Now, the flrsx boy that breaks I'll set down for All -f a sudden there was a break, and shout, went ui: They're off." It was a false alarm.

however, and ba 'k the horses went to the post. There was one more false alarm, and then a shout that there was no mistaking went up. It gathered f-jree as it rolled, ana as it sped over tne hlirroundiag inea'lows, the echo camo ba. They're off They're ofT It wu tru-. Mr.

Caldwell had (-uigiit 'ihem all well in motion and hid secured a magnificent i-tart. Yorlrville Belle wis the first to show wilt her advau'ige wis slight, and Mirs Anna Lavish, Trinele and His High- mss were lippnl on hr, with the ret not a length away. Murphv at once took a n.straining pull on tin- Belle, tmt she was full of racing, and for a quarter she was in front, followed by Merry Mon arch, who was eipied by Huron, with Anna B. and Dtgonet next. hen Dago-tMt, witii a wonderful burst of speed.

took the lead, and His Highness and Hu ron tow moved up. As tbey swuiw into the stretch there was little to between Huron, His Highness. Vork- viile Belle, Pagobet, Mars and Bash-ford. The excitement was intne. Any one of a half dozen horses appeorvxl to have a chanee.

Suddenly Overton shot Huron to the front, ond although tlnT-i was not a man on tbe grounds who ha I a to on bim, they all cin'ered and yelled. hile the women frantically clutched th" nrnis of tlieir male escorts and scrf.iiiH'd, Huron." But Huton had not won yet. McJ. iushlin, crafty and alert, astride His Highneoe, had ssn Overton's move and sent His Highness after him, while llur- phy wss improving his position on Vork- ville Belle. In a few strides Huron and His Highness were on even terms, run ning lilt; a teitn and lor ti.eir lives, lapped by Vorkville IHle.

McLaughlin was like a huntlie of stei au-J at every stii s-eml to lilt his horse along, whil.j Murphy, whose yvllow fsjee was blaek with exoibtrient. was whipping and nutting and aorkville ISelle was cximing like cyclone.

(Special.) The trotting iu Kentucky was conducted at Lexington and Spring iield. The; port was of the very highest order, and a number of new performers were added to the list. Next week the Kentucky races will he at Eardstown, Bowling Green and T.iris. At Jlayvllli; last week tbe two-year-old colt Italph Wilkes" starU-d against tituo. and trotted a mile easily in making a break in which he lost one or two secindi, with the track being at the time tar sfroni in its K-st condition.

He finished strong. Time hy quarters: 35 1-2, 1:14, 1:50 nnd 2 2G J-4. Tlie i-st judges who saw hiai make his ln-licve that under favcrable. conditions he will, should he continue in gioi form, trot close to 2:20 liefore the winter frosts s-t in. Ralph Wilkes i handiome chestnut colt, foaled in April, lesv.

He was sired by Kel Wiikcs, dam by Mamhrino Fatchen, ennd dam by Imp. Ion. lie is a strongly huilt lellow, of gMd hie, and bone of the U-rt iiuality. In his ye tiling form he was driven a quarter in 50 seconds, and then turtvsl out. The first mile he went this year lie in 2 :34.

Shortly th was trotted a mi'e 3.4, another in 2:31. and afterward was driven in 2:28 1-2 and 2: 2:1. lie has been dnven the last ith in a fast -mi' a a 2 :14 tait, s'io a--in, that he has a-n ubuu-iance ot spe-sd. He is a colt of great constitution and endurance-, and does not appear to tin in his work. Whei.

he, Munhars and Annore together, at the Bneders' Octols-r meeting, at L-xiugton. tla-re will probably be une ol the ta-st two-year-old races ever witmssed. Ralph Wilkes' record was tin- fastest two-year-old record made this year, at the time it was made, and is one of the fastest ever made by a so carer in the setson. As he was in form, and easily capable of b-ntmg 2:30, and as young leases are liable to go vviong, it was determined feud him against the watch so as to make his dam and her i by other hor.K-s' standard. Balph Wilk.ss iis owned by Vr.

W. B. Gal breath, of this city. He was bred, foaled and tr.uncj at W. Framx-'s Highland Farm, in this connty, and was trained by Ths-dore Snedecker, who has jiroveu a v-ry succesaful colt hauiili-r '1 here has la-u much cximphiint about suppressing time.

A well known hre-uian, interviewi-d on the lust night, said: "I know of mveril m-staii-is, where very promising young tn t-ters, owned and starV.si by biveders, have been kept from obtaining a record uu-iler 2:50 by lx-ing beaten l.y some regular campaigner, that by suppression of lime has ls-n kept in the clas mis-ting after uniting to the injury of such good young trotters and the jiisti-lialde disgust of tlieir owners. It is slowly, but surely. Working a great injury to the general breeding interests of our country. Bns-ders are becoming discouraged and incensed at such corruption in the judges' itaiid. Only last wi-ek I suw a cise ol time-suppn-ssioii that richly merits 111 vtst igat lou and tbe inlliction of rigid judgtm-ut on the wrongdoers hy tla- American Association.

the race I refer to a really great horse was out hi 2:22 1-4, and, like p. square, honest-minded man, his owner accepted the mark on Lis horse and gs on trying to win the ra-. In the second heat a break or two renders it Impossible for him to win, hut he forces out another horse in 2:23 1-4. Up Into the stand, liefore tlie decision is rendered on the heat, rushes owner or driver, quite generally both, and luiM.rt lis- judgi-s to call it 2 :24 12 to keep their horse eligible to the 2:25 They 11 1 go the case us a possible doubt ti the time, and claim the Ix-nelit of the doubt. Au earnest friend among the jud-g- champions their cause, and the result is 2:24 1-4, when both official timers' watches agreed exactly on 2 1-4, supported by tho watch in the hands of another competent timer that wa 111 the also showing 3:23 1-4 There wan 110 liossihlo question im to the cor rectness of the time as reported to the judges by tl Ilieial timers, hut tho judges at once ignonsl their report and had the sturtr announce it 2:24 1-4.

It is holding The American and National Associations up to contempt, as well us forcing upon honest, souare timers the condemnation of the pul lie. In last k's case the book of the association will show that one of the official timers refusisl to attach his signature to tlie r.eord of that race in which the time was suppreseed. hut signed It us to the other two races in the ufternoou. This is not nn isolated case, but one of weekly occurn wher-ver the call-b I tlfty-live new performers to re port this week, as fellows: Anrtim, bv (Joldcmitr A. Alice Wilkes, by t.a:rtKita Wilkes.
