PAT MORRISSEY -IS KILLED Gallant Old Horse-.Is, 8hot After the Sixth Race Talent Plunges and 'Wins. on Step Around and Capable. W. D. Randall's Illilouon won the $1000 Irvington handicap yesterday aft ornoon. The chestnut gelding: simply galloped around the rest of the start ers, and he finished a length and a half In front of Forest King and a head in Xront of CoL Anderson, -who many thought had the race won. The race, from a close-finish standpoint, was a disappointment, for the son of Tiger set his own pace, talcing the lead at the Etretch, and was never in any trouble after he passed the grandstand the first time. Jockey Crosswalte had nothing to do but sit still on the speedy Illi louon and win as . he pleased, while Forest King and CoL Anderson fought a brilliant battle from tho pad dock to the wire. A large crowd saw the running of the Irvington handicap. The day was" ideal, and the track was in exception ally fine shape for the biggest stake event of the meeting. Starting Judge Mulholland was in rare form, for each Held that faced him were on their good behavior, and not in any of the seven events were the horses at the ' barrier more than a minute or two. It was also a pleasing day to those who journeyed to Irvington, for they left the racetrack with the dollars jingling j in their pockets and thoroughly satis- j fled that they had enjoyed a day of splendid sport. Pat Morrlssey's Last Race. ! The only thing which marred the day's sport was the killing of Pat Morrissey. This game old breadwinner was cut down in the sixth race and had to be killed shot like a mad dog. The best part of the death of this good old racehorse is that he met his death like a gladiator, with his head high in . the air and his eyes looking straight into the dying sun of the day. It was a death that either man or beast might be justly proud of, and as tho leaden message of death ended his earthly ca reer and his racing days, he was gazing head up and eyes to the "Great Eye of the Lord" unafraid. Not half of the 5000 people who saw Jockey Holbrook pull up Pat Morrissey just after he rounded the second turn into the back stretch, knew that James Ryan's meal ticket had started on the journey from which no one returns. So Intent were the spectators on the horses that were racing in front that they did not see poor old Morrissey gimplng along, struggling to go on , after the onward rushing field. Some, however, saw the gallant struggle that the son of Lord Clifton was making to follow the fleeing horses in front, and a murmur of pity went up from those who realized that he had broken down. Yet they did not realize that all the tendons of his hind leg had been severed,- and It was not until Jockey Holbrook had dismounted that they knew that the injury to the horse with the Irish name had been serious. Then when the coach that is used by Starting Judge Mulholland drove to the stand, and after taking up a veterinarian, it drove post- haste to the backstretch. Game Old Horse Shot. After a careful examination of the horse the veterinarian saw that there was no -chance to save the horse's Ufa and he ordered him shot Tho horse was suffering the agonies of the untold and in order to distract his attention he was offered a drink of water, but he refused It and then from the pock et of one of the group was drawn a shining revolver. Its muzzle was placed close to Pat Morrlssey's head and the leaden message of death crash ed through the "poor animal's brain, and he died without a struggle. Only the muffled report reached the crowd in the grandstand, and half of" them left without knowledge of the race track tragedy that ended the racing days of one of the gamest and most consistent racehorses that ever looked through a bridle. One thing which distracted from the death of Pat Morrissey was the gentle men's race, which was won by Milas, with E. M. O'Brien up. Mr. Lazarus, riding his own horse, Morengo, was second, and Mr. MacRae, on Frank Pearce, was third. When the entries on this race were posted it was a fore gone conclusion that Milas. would win. The one-eyed jumper could have won if he had been ridden by a park po liceman, for he was the class of his field. All that Mr. O'Brien "had to do was sit still. Morengo and Frank Pearce had a gallant struggle from the stretch home, but for Pearce be ing absolutely left at the post, he would have beaten Morengo with ease. Getting off last, Pearce was five lengths . behind Milas at the first quarter, but on rounding into the backstretch the old campaigner began to climb over those in front, and at the half he hookr ed up with Morengo. Tho top weight, 175 pounds, and a disposition to take the overland route at the turns told on the bird, and rounding Into tho stretch he was willing to chuck it. MacRae shook him up and he came on. Dut ne was stopping badly at the wire, Two Jockeys Divide Honors. Jockeys SulJIvan and Crosswalte di vided the winning honors of the dav. Little Sullivan won the first two races and Crosswalte, on Illilouon. won the Irvington Handicap and the fifth race on Danzll. Sullivan began the day wun a win on Algaretta, a 4-to-l shot, ana Dut tor tne clever ride which Sulll van gave the mare she would have been beaten by Amasa, who the talent thought had It over the Strobel horse. Amasa was off flying, but he nunc: like a hungry uncle after the straighten ing away irom home, and A Powell. although he tried hard, could not make him stay in front. Young Pepper had a host of followers, but he was badly messea aoout ana Fltzpatrlck gave him a wretched rlae. Step Around a Good Thing. Step Around had it on those -who started with her in the second race, and Sullivan put her over for his second vic tory of the day. He made his move at the right time, but he drove the St Georce mare to the limit in order to stall off the vicious rush that Maxtress made under the grandstand. Step Around was touted as the good thing of the day, and tne cooKies came in for a belting when the winning numbers were hung up. "These pencliers also got a bumping In the third race, which Capable won. Tho name caught the fancy of the crowd and with out attempting to look up past perform ances they bet their money on the name and 'not the horse. Jockey Tullett brought him home a winner. After winning the handicap Jockey Crosswalte came right back in the fifth race and won on Denzel. The Deceiver gelding beat the barrier and won the race In a gallop. Denzel opened at 5 to 1, .but when the stable tip vemerged from the underground tho money poured In, and at post time the bookies were hang up 7 to 2 and sorry to take the money. Denzel was off next to last, but the chest nut gelding had the'-Cspeed, and when Crosswalte got him going he ran over the field and finished in a. romp. Mrs. Henry Stover's St Philippina, that uncertain daughter pf St Carlo, who, three times out of five. Is apt to be left at the post won the sixth race, a mile. She beat Pastmasterv Goldfinder and the rest of them "with an ease that was shameful, and Instead of finishing by four lengths could have beaten the rest of the mutts, in the race" by. a furlong had Smith set her. down.

"That i3 not the way to do business. As I said -yesterday, Corbett will be allowed to play with San Francisco until we are instructed' not to play him, and what we will do then I am not at liberty to say." Suspending Joe, Corbett at this time, when his services were so badly needed by the local club, created a sensation In baseball circles. It seemed to be the sentiment of the fans that this National, agreement was a bad business and that the Pacific Coast League would be bet ter off if it were an independent organ ization. It is open talk among the league of ficials that the workings of tho agree ment are unsatisfactory, and an opportun ity to null it would be 'welcomed. It the Nationals force action on the Corbett case, it Is generally felt that the Coast League will act arbitrarily and sever its agreement with the Easterners. BELDAME NEVER HEADED.

King Edward's Selection as Godfather toHeir Creates Good Feeling. ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 20. The selec tion of Emperor William and King Edward to be godfathers of .the heir to the Russian throne has created an excellent impression and Is considered to be an especially happy omen of the future relations between Russia and Great Britain. Both Prince Henry of Prussia and Prince Louis of Battenberg, personal representatives of their respec tive sovereigns, are understood to be bearers of letters to Emperor Nicholas.
