Dexter PARK Races.
CHICAGO, July 25.-TO-day's race at Dex-
ter Park between Goldsmith Maid and
Judge Fullerton against time has been
looked forward to with great interest by
sportsmen and those interested in the turf,
but the outcome was very unsatisfactory
to all who witnessed it. A crowd of about
1000 persons were present.
First heat the Maid came in ahead,
making a mile in 2:29A. Fullerton be-
haved very badly, and followed far behind.
Second heat was taken by the Maid in
2I9a,, but she broke twice during the race;
Fulie. ton also breaking Third heat
was won by the Maid in 2:25a4, Fullerton
tagging as before. A heavy wind interfered
some W hat with the trOtting, and the track
was not in prime condition, but the crowd
could not consider these facts as an excuse
for the miserable display they witnessed.
