3 i THE HUGUENOT IS DESTROYED AT SEATTLE, j Full Brother to Henry of Navarre An Interesting Turf Career Runs Mile in 1:381. A dispatch from Seattle says that The Huguenot severed a tendon in one of his forelegs at the Meadows on Saturday and had to be destroyed. The Huguenot was a full brother to Henry of Navarre. He was a chestnut gelding, by Knight of Ellerslle, out of Moss Rose and was eleven, years old. In many respects he was a remarkable racehorse. He began his racing career as a two-year-old In 1897 as the property of L. S. and W. P. Thompson. He made his first start In the Laureata Stakes at Morris Park, on Tuesday, May 18, 1807, finishing unplaced. He scored his first victory at Sheepshead Bay, on August 27, 1807. As a three-year-old he won five races out of nine starts, his victories including the Withers Stakes, the Carlton Stakes and the Brooklyn Derby, In which he carried 122 pounds and ran the mile and a half in 2:37. He went amiss in the fall of 1898, and for three years he was turned out on a New Jersey farm. One day Jimmy Rowe took a look at him, remarking: "That fellow has more than one race in him yet." So Rowe took him up and handled hlmcare-fully during the winter of 1901-2 and In 1902 he won three races out of five starts for him. In 1903 he got to the post only once, finishing third. In 1904 he passed to F. M. Kelly and won two races. In 1903 he raced In the colors of W. Walker. He then became the property of John J. Mc-Cafferty and was the medium through which C. E. Durnell brought his charges against McCafferty at Ascot Park last March. Durnell bought The Huguenot after he had won a selling race; immediately declared that the horse had been drugged and requested that veterinarians be sent to examine the horse. On their report McCafferty was fined ,000 and suspended for one year, Durnell also being fined and suspended in like measure on charges brought by McCafferty. Durnell took an appeal to the Pacific Jockey Club and both he and McCafferty were ruled off the turf. After this The Huguenot passed to Schubach and Co. They took him to Seattle and won eight races" out of eleven starts at the present meeting. On August 2, The Huguenot ran a mile at the Meadows in li38J. Here is a record of his performances: Year.
