Chicago, HI.
CHICAGO, July 5.-To-day tie plucky
managers of the Dexter Park summer
meeting had the satisfaction of seeing
an entire day Of perfectly beautiful
weather and crowd Of at least fifteen
thousand people in attendance. The
amphitheater was packed, the grand
stand completely filled, while at least fif-
teen hundred carriages full of people oc-
cupied every available spot inside the
running-tra and outside the trotting-
ring. The racing was good, and but for
an accident to one horse in the three
mile heat running race, would have
been the best of the meeting.
THE FIRST RACE
called was a running race of one mile
and a quarter, for all ages, carrying 100
pounds; purse $500; $500 for the first,
SlO0 for the second horse. or ten entries
seven started. They were Rocket, Har-
ry O'Faller, Lancer, Cape Race, Keno,
Lady Fairfield and Captain Davis's bay
colt. Cape Race was the favOrite by
odds of 100 to 20, and 100 to Is against
the field. But the field proved to con-
tain q better than the favOrite Cape
Race jumped into the lead at the start,
with Fairfield next and Rocket third.
Az the quarter-pOle Lady Fairchild
went for Cape Races place and took it,
while Rocket came up for the second,
cOllaring Cape Race and running
neck and neck with him to the pole,
where he succeeded in shaking Cape
Race off and taking second place, two
lengths behind Lady Fairfield, who was
running home in spleI did shape; and
though Cape Races driver urged him to
his utmost, he was obliged to content
himself with the third place, Fairfield
winning in 2:l6, Rocket second, and
Cape Race third.
THE SECOND RACE.
was trOtting race for a purse of $1,000
for horses that had never beaten 2:30;
$500 to the first, $50 to the second, $3.50
to the third and $500 to the fourth.
TOpsy, Hattie, Black Prince, Lady
Fox, Redwing, Country Boy, for
merly General Howard, Mia Cald-
well and Logan were the starters. Bet
ting in the pools previous to the start
was considerably mixed, Redwing
starting as first choice, Lady Fox second,
and Mia Caldwell third, at about even
prices, while the field sold for more
than all three combined.
A long time was spent in scoring
the first heat, but finally they were sent
away, with Hattie first, Country Boy
second, Topsy third, and Mia Caldwell
and Lady Fox close behind. At the
quarter-pole Country Boy took the first
place, and Mia Caldwell took the sec
Ond, with Logan close behind, and at
the half-mile pole ranging alongside,
Country Boy still having the lead; but
at the three-quarter pole Logan went
for him and set him back to second
place, and crossed the score in 2:26,
Country Boy second, Caldwell third,
Lady Fox fourth, and the Others strag-
Cling out behind, with Redwing bring
ing up the rear.
In the second heat Logan took the
lead, with Country Boy next, and Lady
Fox third. Logan kept the lead until
at the three quarter pole Caldwell came
up from somewhere in the rear, trOtung
80 f3st that before the stand was reached
she PASSED Logan and came in winner
Of tte heat in 2:27, Logan second, COun-
try boy third, and Lady Fox fourth.
Caldwell now came to the front in
the betting, and sold as favOrite against
the field, choice she justified in the
third heat by coming in ahead again in
2:274, Country Boy second, Lady Fox
third, Black Prince fourth, Logan fifth,
Hattie sixth, Red Wing seventh, and
Topsy eighth.
Everybody now rushed for Caldwell
in the pool. In the fourth heat Caldwell |
again lead, with Country Boy and Lady
Fox following in the second and third !
places. At the quarter the Boy left |
Lady Fox and trOtted to the half mile |
nearly tied with Caldwell; but here the !
mare shook him of and came into the |
home stretch a length ahead. Then. on
entering the last quarter, Red Wing, |
who had been gradually working up, |
came up and passed both Country Boy |
and Fox, who, just at the score, was
also headed by Logan, so that the finish /
was, Caldwell first, Red Wing second, |
Country Boy third, and Lady Fox
fourth. Time, 1921. This gave the 4
race to Caldwell, second money to LO-
gan, third to Country Boy, and fourth |
to Red Wing.
THIRD RACE.
The last race Of the day was three
mile heat running race for a purse of
$1,000. Intense interest was felt in it, /
and but for an unfortunate accident that /
brought it to an abrupt close, it would |
have proved one Of the turf
