Chicago Races.
MICHIGAN HORSES WIN BOTH RACES
WEDNESDAY.


The Chicago Tribune of the goth
inst. says;
The two races on the regular pro-
gram of yesterday were won by Mich
igan horses, and in consequence of
this fact the large delegation of
bucolic gentlemen from this section
were unusually happy last night, hav-
ing won every bet which they made !;
and it is but justice to say that they
backed the successful horses with a
liberality that will eventually land
them in the poor-house. In the 2:a7
race, which was first on the card,
Jerome Eddy sold two to one over
the geld before the start. His driver
made no effort for the first heat,
which was taken by Matte Graham,
but the next three were captured in
easy style by the Michigan stallion.
Black Cloud, Detroit horse, that
was at one time owned by the late
Gen. Custer, managed to win the a:2I
race after hard struggle with William
H., who took the second heat i'm
2:I8H. Unalala, a full sister to st.
Julien, was we'll backed in this race,
but lacked the speed to beat either
Black Cloud or William II.
pHE 2:27 CLASS,
with which the sport began, had six
starters, the lot including Catchhy,
Aldine, Largesse, Nhiad Queen,
Jerome Eddy and Matte Graham,
who took positions from the pole in
the order indicated by their names.
Jerome Eddy was a hot favorite,
selling about two to one over the
field in the pools. The start was a
good one, but before the turn was
reached Aldine had the pole, with
Matte Graham second, Naiad Queen
third, Aldine fourth, and the others
out of it. They trotted thus to the
quarter-pole in sc seconds, and down
the backstretch these positions were
unchanged. Just before the end of
the first half mile, which was done in
r:IIH, Matte Graham took the lead
from Aldine, Catchfy going into
third place, and at the head of the
homestretch she looked like winner,
but broke just before reaching the
distance stand. Matte Graham and
Aldine had fighting finish, Batche.
lor's mare winning by neck in
2:2IM. Catchfy was a good third,
Jerome Eddy fourth, Largesse fifth,
and Naiad Queen distanced.
Matte Graham and Jerome Eddy
now sold even with each other in the
pools, bringing $500 apiece to $685. for
the field. When the word was given
Matte left her feet and after being
caught went to another break before
reaching the turn, Jerome Eddy TAX
ing the pole. HE set sail for the
heat at once, opening up big gap
on the others, so that by the time the
head of the homestretch was reached
the rest were six leagths behind him,
Aldine being in second place.
Jerome Eddy came along and dis
tanced Catchfy in 2:2a, the rest be-
ing inside the flag.
Jerome Eddy won the third and
fourth heats easily enough, although
a break at the FIRST turn in the last
heat sent him to the rear for little
while.
Fanny Robinson, William H.,
Black Cloud, SCOTS Thomas, Pilot
r., and Unalala started in
THE a:2I RACE.
In the pools William II. sold for
500, Unalala 500, and the field $50.
Black Cloud had the pole, Pilot r.
second place, Fanny Robinson third,
Unalala fourth, SCOTS Thomas fifth,
and William H. the outside. When
the word was given Black Cloud out
footed the rest of the party, being
clear of the rest of the party at the
first turn. William H. broke at this
point, SCOTS Thomas being in.second
place, a length behind Black Cloud
and the rest strung out. The first
quarter was trotted in IS seconds,
and the heat NAV be summarized by
