Chicago, July 22.-This was the
greatest day Of the jockey club meeting.
and although the time made was not
As fast as had been expected. the vast
crowd in attendance had the eratiiica-
ton Of seeing st, Julian beat two very
f.st horses with ease. which was 30 ap-
uarsut As 10 convince the most casual
observer that he had extra links which
could be loosened. and which would
permit him to lower the record Of 2:l2i.
which he himself has made. Hickok
Is 50 confident Of his proweas that he
has offered for q remunerative purse TO
nut him against any trotter or PAGER on
the turf, and 1t Is not unlikely that n
race between this swift-footed trotter
and some Of the lightning PAGERS now
present here will be arranged before
the meeting ends In fact, such nego-
tiations are In progress II Is stated
that St. Julien has not broken since
last September. except once while In
practice, and then ON account Of
muddy track. Mr.. Hickok claims to
have driven him over the Chicago
track IN practice TO a lower record than
was ever made by any other horse.
The crowds cheered Justify when st.
Julian and the rest came ON the track.
The s25, 900 purse was about the only
money that was invested In this race.
Pool sellers were unknown factors In
It. The question was not what horse
would win, but how fast time the Call
fornian would make, and 50 when the
race was called and Darby started with
a slight lead In the first heat, there
was general surprise. It did not last
long, however, for before the drawgate
was reached. the coaster had placed
himself In the 'front.' Just here Hope
full made the first of n series Of bad
breaks, which proved disastrous 10 him
in every heat, and put him far back,
and Derby footed 1t behind st. Julian
until the back stretch was reached,
when he got at evens and In this posi-
tion they came around the upper turn.
Just then there arose q shout Look at
Hopeful Gomez" 'sSee him." and for o
moment all eyes were on that horse Of
the encouraging name, who with tre-
mendous bursts OF speed, shot his little
white legs forward toward the leaders,
overhauling them In an incredible shsrt
space Of time. He reached their
wheels, but could not last, and hale way
down the home stretch left his feet,
and the heat was gone from him, st.
Julian coming in first, Darby second
by half a lenth, Hopeful third. Time,
2l7i.
When the second heat was called fas-
ter time was expected. The horses got
away at the third trial, st. Julian and
Hopeful going very fast and taking. the
lead. At the first turn Hopeful made
his customary break, which was afro
eiously out Of place, just here, and
when he regained his feet was some dis
tarce behind. On the backstrstch st.
Julian allowed Darby 10 get on even
terms with him, but his manner was
like the cat which tribes with mouse.
At the upper turn they were stIll to-
gether, with Hopeful, who had trotted
very fast, close up. Just before enter
Ing the homestretch, the latter again
left his feet but quickly caught trot
again. The leaders went neck and
neck at the short distance stands, but
Darby right here left his pegs and st.
Julian trotted in easy winner, Derby
barely saving second place by q quick
recovery. Time, 1si.
