Corrigan, an added starter, won the leading Pacitie Coast cup fixture, the Waterhouse Handicap, nt two miles and a quarter, from the heavily backed favorite Wire In in gallant style over a muddy track.

It was due to his former owners importunings that the horse was sent for the valuable trophy and Mr. Sehreiber evinced unbounded delight over his victory; saying: "I dont know which pleased me most, to have bred a-real cup horse, or- that he was named after the grandest turfman in America, Edward Corrigan." J. F. Newman got in today with eight horses. Don Domo was left behind to fill an early Ascot Park stake engagement. Jockey L. Fountain Is too ill to ride. Preservator.
