The Chicago Derby.

CHICAGO, June 26.-The weather was
very good to-day and the track fast. A.
happy combination of circumstances made
the opening day at Washington park very
attractive one, both to the public and the
betting men and the association. The rae
ing was much better than the average, and
the betting was good, not one favorite win
| ming, those that invested in the French
| mutually getting large returns, and the
attendance was beyond description. The
DerDy,ln Which most interest was taken, re-
suited in complete surprise. Silver
Cloud, after many disappointment when
ne was thought good, won when least ex-
pected, neither his owner, trainer nor
Jockey thinking before the start that he
would win. Haggin's entries continued
the tavorites to the last, although it was
known that the horses were not doing well.
In fact Mr.. Haggn declared before the race
that he did not think he could win. Blue
Wing ran as if he was stale. A few who
have never overlooked Silver Clouds per-
torrance last year
WON CONSIDERABLE MONEY.
The very large attendance was of the
most respectable sort, and good order and
much enthusiasm was the leading feature
of the day.
