The Chicago Trott,ng Meeting.


Thursday last the summer running meet
ing of the Chicago Jockey Club and Driv-
ing Park association came to an end, the
meeting, as have all before them since the
present euterprising and intelligent man
agement came into power, proving grand
success. Saturday next, the 14th, the
summer trotting meeting will be inaugu
rated. For this meeting, which
from the number and character
of the horses engaged, will undoubtedly
prove the most important ever held in the
country, there was total of 226 entries,
embracing nearly all the star performers
in the country. For the opening day, Sat,
urday next, the events will be the 2:19,
2:40 and four year old classes. In the
2:I9 class there are eleven entries, il
Guiding Fanny Witherspoon, DR.. Norman,
Romero, Tariff, Adele Gould, Minnie R.,
and Monroe Chief. The struggle for first,
second, third and fourth moneys will be
earnest. For the 2:40 class twenty nine
are nominated, among them Phallas, Min
pie Wilkes, Secret, and Mambrino
Sotham, all of which have
been tried and not found want
ing. Twenty four foals of 1879 have been
named for the Chicago stakes, the best of
which are Wildfower, Eva, AIgath, Eudy-
mion, Butterfly, ConNaught and Code.
The chief fight will be between the repre-
senUatives of California and Kentucky
breeding farms
The second day, Monday, there will be
the 2:23 class, with Tony Newell Kate Nc
Call, Meta Medium, Director and Harry
Wilkes among the thirteen entries and
probable starters; the 2:27 class with 20
entries, in which is Charley Browns st.
Paul horse Fearnaught, and the 2:3U pac-
ing class with 81 entries.
On Tuesday two of the Midway repre-
sentatives will appear, in Won Arnim in the
PLY class, with Monroe Chief, Edwin
Thorne and Charlie Ford as probable con-
testants, while Gem will probably be call
ed upon to represent the stable in the
free for all pacing class against Fuller,
Buffalo Girl, Flora Belle, Lucy and Rich
ball, the probable starters of the twelve
entries. There will also be special double
team and saddle contests on this day.
Wednesday the sport will be opened
with the 2:30 class, with twenty four en-
tries, including Tony Newell, Farce, Brown
Wilkes, Wade Hampton, Mountain Girl.
Rigolette an ! other good ones. Then will
come the 2:2I class with twelve entries,
and which should furnish
one of the hottest races of the meeting,
there being among the entries, Captain
Lewis, the famous plow horse OF last sea-
SOL, Wilson, Tariff, Joe Bunker, Overman,
Ewing, Buzz Medium and Harry wilkes,
in one of whom the winner will probably
be found. The sport of the day will con-
clude with the 2:25 class, twelve entries,
embracing Catchfy, Hardwood, Wilbur F.,
Lady Thorne and viii Benham.
Thursday will witness one of the grand
est events of the meeting in the 800
class, with thirty entries, in which
is found Majolica, Phallas, Mambrino
Sotham, Index, Felix, Strathlan, Durango,
Gus and Pilgrim. For this race Majolica
will undoubtedly be the favorite on ac-
count of his 2:17 in his first race, though
the 2:1S1I OF Phallas will undoubtedly
give him a good backing. OF the others
named all save Pilgrim have already
trotted close to 2:20. Pilgrim has not yet
started in race, but he has
shown repeats in better than 2:22
and he ought not to be the last horse, while
1T is by no means a fOregone conclusion
that he may not win first place. Then will
come the 2:20 pacing class, with fourteen
entries, the day concluding with the great
sensational event match between ST.
Julien and Cingstone for $1,000, the as
sociation adding $4,000, with $1,000 addi-
tional if 2:1O1 is beaten.
On Friday the programme calls for the

followed by the ive-year-old class, with
Phil Thompson, Bronze, Ed Geers, Ade-
laide, Bonita, Wllddower and Jay-Eye-S See
as the entries, the sport for the day Con-
Guiding with the three-year-oId class with
twenty-tiy entries.

day, with the free for all stallion race as
the great event, for which Won Arnim,
Monroe Chief, Santa Claus, Alexander

tered. The other events of the day will be
