The American Turf-Wonderful Trotting.
CHICAGO, July 15th.-This was the ninth
and closing day of the Chicago Driving
Park summer meeting. The events on the
card for the day were the conclusion of the
2:27 race, in which six heats We're trotted
Yesterday, and & race open to all trotters.
The weather was cool and cloudy, with a
light breeze. The track was fair. Unfor-
tunately the attendance was limited, as one
of the most sensational performances of
the year was witnessed. On the last day
of August 1873, at Hartford, Smuggler
trotted mile in 2:154, and from that day
to this that figure has stood as the best
record for stations. For years all the great
trotting stations have been shooting at
this mark, and their fame and value have
gone up in the ratio of their approach
to it. Last season Phallas trotied in 2:15I,
and it was admitted to be but question OF
time when he would obliterate Smugglers
performance. That time came to-day, when
this great son of Dictator and Betsy Tot
wood trotted full mile in 2:134 in the
fourth heat, after having won the two pre-
ceding heats in very fast time thus beat
ing Smuggler's record one and half sec
onds. This is not only the fastest stallion
time, but the fastest fourth heat ever

was trotted in 334 seconds, the half in :074!
the three-quarters in 1:40l. The first and
second quarters were trotted at a 2:15 gait,
the third at the rate of PIP, and the last
quarter at the rate of 2:13.
The first race, for the 2:27 class, unfin-
ished yesterday was won by Adelaide,
Frank Landers second, Prince third, Lyn-
wood fourth. Time, 2:21-2:1S3-2:204-
::2144-2::242-2:21.
The second race, free for all trotters,
brought out four animals whose breeding
in all respects is gilt-edged: Phallas, by
Dictator, dam Betsy Trotwood; Fanny
Witherspoon, by Almont, dam Lizzie
Witherspoon; Catchfy, by Administrator,
dam Cachuca; Clemmie g., by Magic,
dam by Ned. In the light of past perform
ances, and of the result of the race, it is
difficult to understand why the hackers of
the VIGOROUSLY unreliable mare Catchfy
could have made such strong favorite of
her before the opening of the race, that she
sold two to one against the field.
