The popularity Of trott!ng in Chicago Has we'll
Attestcd yesterday by tho large attendance at
the Jockey. Club track, not less than 200 pco-
ple being present to witness the three cvonts On
the programmc,-a race for 2:20 horses, oua for
5-yeas-olds, md m exhibition of speed by Hope
ful 10 m attempt to beat 2:14. Not only was
tho crowd large one, but Il was also we'll salts
fed, each event being trottcd on It's merits, and
tho best horse tn each instance capturing the
rich money prize offered by the Club.
or THE RESULTS
Of the racce, there ts but llttlo to be said.
Everybody expected that Doncscttcr would beat
the 0po 1e'd TINT started against him in the 2:20
class, and 10 did 30 with ease, noyer being
driven at top speed during my part Of TIC
thrce miles. The dYcyear-old race furnished q
genuine surprise. So 10, whose wonderful two
ycarold record Of 2:81 Is still frcBh IN tho pub
lie mind, had accepted the handicap OF q year
tsha being but four), md was to meet Kentucky
Wilkes, Of whose speed wonderful
stories had been told. Both had been
going remarkably fast In their work,
and great things wera expected Of them. John
Bplan had been especially engaged to drive
30 20, while Frank Van Ness was secured by
The owner Of Kentucky Wilkes to pilot bis colt.
1t was thought that tho battle would bo con-
fined to these two ntone, but SO ovcrstladowing
were the previous performances Of 80 30 that
In the majority Of tho pools
Bile WAS DAHnED,
Wilkes selling atrone first choice. There were
others In the race, however, TINT found SUPPORT.
The Michigan delegation were strong In the be-
lief that Buffalo Bill would mako some Of
Tho more noted ones lowor their colors,
while d few put tl.eic money on
Capoul, q 5-ycar-old stallion by Sentinel,
bred by n. r. peppcr, Of Frankfort, Ky, .,Qaud
purchased not long ago by all Illinois goutid-
man. Two weeks ago he won good race at
Des Mo'ncs in straight heats, the time being
close to a:D0 In each hcat. Tho result proved
that they were right In their estimation of the
colt, since he won hnndiIy, losing tho second
heat because Of break When near the haff-mla
pole. SO So was completely out Of form, aud
was dissanced tn the first heat. Kcu-
tucky Wilkes WAS fairly out-trotted by
Capuu1, but his friends clnfm tint ho was not
tat bimself," and such would seem to bo the
cose, sinco a few mornings ago he was given
mllo in 2:23N, doing the work qntc handi'y.
