NEW YORK, May 10.—Despite the rain and mist which prevailed to-day, racing at Morris Park was of a most epirited character, several of the events being won by short heads, while in the last event the keenness of the strug- gle was accentuated by the judges announcing a dead heat between Colon- say and Hello with The Southerner third. Many who wagered on Hello were confident they would cash their bets, for they saw Colonsay continually in- terfere with Hello for a sixteenth of a mile. As Hello was thus forced into The Southerner, his rider was com- pelled to pull up about eighty yards from the finish. Hardly had the jockeys on the three placed horses passed the scales than Hildebrand, who rode The Southerner, preferred a claim of foul against both the others. The stewards then heard what Michaels and Phillips had to say and in a few moments the numbers were taken down and Hello was an- nounced as the winner with The South- crner second and Short Hose third. The last named probably found the task of conceding twenty-six pounds to Colonsay, of the same age, too hard. He r: fairly well for a mile. In the fourth race, the Harlem | Stakes, with selling allowances, there was another extremely close finish. Everybody in line with the judges saw Sheriff Bell win by about twelve inches {and the stewards saw it that way. The spectators at the left hand side of the stewards’ stand believed Unmasked won.

Only the gong | try. saved Thurston from going out. Thurs- ton’s seconds yelled “foul,” but Referee Eckhart justly refused to recognize the claim.

After the ninth round McClure was busy at his man’s stomach, and the fight ended with Mike hammering away. Thurston’s blows were cleaner but proved ineffective. There was no steam in them after the eighth round. The only time he seemed to affect McClure was in the third round, when a couple of rights and lefts shook up Mike. In the rallies McClure had the best of It, but the stronger. On the whole the fight was slow.
