The Midway Vtcsories Monday.
The detailed accounts of the races at Chicago
Monday, as given in the home papers, put the
two victories of the Midway Park stable in q
much more brilliant light than would appear
from the dry and matter of fact report of the
Associated Press. 1t appears that in the 2:23
class. won by Minnie r., Buzz Medium, as
big favorite, with Tariff for second
choice, the Midway representative
selling in the field until after the
third heat, when the sharp 'uns, who had
been playing Buzz Medium and Tariff, did
some most lively hedging, but their CONVEX
sion to:the winner came so late they we're heavy
losers, the "suckers," as the outsiders are
denominated, going away with their pockets
well lined. Speaking of this race the Tribune
says: SIN the 2:23 class it was the general
opinion of horsemen before the Start for the
first heat that Buzz Medium could hardly fail
OF winning the race, as she has been very sue
cessful thus season, and until yesterday had
not met horse in her class capable of beat
ing her. The race showed, however, that the
mare was decidedly out of form, being very
lame forward, and not having her speed when
warmed up. Next to Buzz Medium. Tariff
was most thought of by the betting men,
but although a heat fell to him by
reason of a break made by Minnie e.,
he was never really dangerous. Minnie R., q
mare that was known to be very fast, but that
has not this season trotted in any races with
horses of her own class, sold lowest in the
pools, and consequently her victory, which
was q very easy one, occasiOned considerable
surprise. The mare was brought to the post
in very fine condition by "Knapsack" Nc
Carthy, and the style in which she reeled off
her heats in 2:19, 2:191 and 2:20, showed that
had there been anything in the race able to 60
the route with her, a considerable lower figure
would have been reached"
After the race, in pursuance of a previous
understanding with "Knapsack" Mccarthy,
part owner and manager of the mare, she was
sold TO Com. n W. Kits on, in whose colors
she trotted for $4,000.
The stallion race, so handsomely won by
Won Arnim, was another victory for the out
sicers, for while Won Arnim and Monroe
Chief sold on even terms before
the first heat, 5000 for each, the
"gang." encouraged by the good showing of
Monroe Chief in the heat, made him a rank
favorite at the ratio of $50 to $40, at which
figures the betting was forced. After
ly demonstrated that it was
mere play for Won Arnim to beat his competi
tors, the batting changed to 500 for him to
S25 against, but it was too late, and the
"gang" were badly left. In the first heat
Monroe Chief had the pole, Voltsire
second, J. B. Thomas third, and Won
Arnim outside. Commenting on the heat
and race the Tribune said: "The start was e
very good one, Monroe Chief having the pole,
Voltaire second place, J. B. Thomas third and
Won Arnim the outside. When the word was
given Won Arnim was on break, but trotted
out of it so fast that at the turn he took the
pole, closely followed by Monroe Chief,
Thomas poor third and Voltaire last. The
last two were never in the race, Won Arnim
leading the Chief three lengths TO the quarter
pole in thirty five seconds, but at the half, in
length in the lead. Around the lower turn
the Chief Tapped Won Arnim, and down the
homestretch it was head-and head race be.
tween the pair, Won Arnim winning by nose
only in 2:20. J. B. Thomas was a very poor
third and Voltaire just inside the flag
zine good showing made by Monroe Chief
in this heat caused his admirers to rush to the
pool-box and back him heavily, the result be-
ing that he soon sold $50 to $40 over the field.
When the word was given for the second heat
Mccarthy sent Won Arnlm along. being a
length ahead of the Chief at the first turn,
which advantage he had doubled at the quar-.
ter in 354 seconds, Voltaire and Thomas be-
ing already ont of the race. Won Arnim went
easily to the half in 1:1015, and spite Of all
Doble's efforts Monroe Chief was unable to
reach the leader, and in fact quit little in the
homstretch, the Minnesota stallion winning
easily in 2:20X, Thomas third and Voltaire
last.
The third and last heat was good one
Betting 500 to $25 on Won Arnin. As usual
Won Arnim was first away, and led all the
mile, doing the first quarter in $50 second:
aud the half in 1:1011. In the homestretch
Doble sent the Chief along for all he was
worth, but could not overtake Won Arnim
who won by neck in 2:20.
