luz at w dS1AlSNOb oAAs
The trotting meeting to be given by
the Northwestern Association Trotting
and Pacing Horse Breeders at Washing
ton park, Chicago, beginning to-day and
continuing the entire week, gives prom
Use of the grandest weeks turf sport of
the wear. The best horses known to the
turf will compete, embracing the stables
of Budd DOble, John E. Turner, John
Splan, McHenry, John DickersOn, ROdy
Patterson, G. w. Williams, etc. The
number of entries to the tTOtting classes
lover 200 have never been approached
by an association in America. AXtei,
the phenomenal th~Tee-year-Old, is now
at Washington park, and will start
during the meeting, probably Wednes-
day to beat the champion record,
2:l4%, made by him at Cleveland, 0.
The programme which the association
has published is well worthy of the pat
rOnage Of the public. The 2:40 trotting
class has tW%enty-four nominations, and
if sixteen of these nominatOrS signify
their intention to start, the asso-
citation should divide the entry list and
offer two purses. The five-Year-Old
stake has only three entries, Brown.
Eminence and Sally CoSSack. The two
mares are fast, but Brown has already
a mark of 2:1S& as a f~Our-year-old, and
is credited with a private trial in PIG,
ohe should win this stake. In the 2:25
trotting class there are sixteen entries,
and if only eight of them respond to
the starters bell a great race may
be legitimately expected. In the list
of entries are Linda Sprague, Nubbins,
FreestOne. Geneva, Maudlen, Harrison,
Maud T, Billy Mack and Indigo. In
the stake open to horses eligible to the
2:35 trotting class there are sixteen
nominations, and the race should be of
more than ordinary interest. The ia
vOrite will be the fast three-year-old
AllertOn, but he will have Minneola,
Victoria Wilkes. Poem, Alric, Black
Victor and other good ones to chase him
out. In the -two-year-old stake there
are twelve nominations. in which AL
mont Rather, MOnon, Prairie Chief,
Pilot Medium, Hambrino. Sentinel
Wilkes. Red Cedar, PhallaS, Grand
Sentinel, Don COssack and other
noted SireS are represented. In this
dozen of highly bred youngsters the
famous young stallion Brown Cedar
will probably be the favorite. The 2:20
pacing class has secured a superb entry
list. and should afford a grand contest.
The nominations are Turk Franklin,
Bawley, Rocky Ford, Lower Stoner,
American Girl, Elgin Girl. Lillian, Fin
ley and Billy the Kid. On public form
Lillian should win the race. The Cor
ton stake. eligible to horses of the 2:l9
trotting class, has seven nominations,
the most prominent of which are
Kit Curry, Lady Bullion, Thorn
less and Seymour Belle. The three
year-Old stake has eight nominal
lions. They are SalOme, by Grand
Sentinel; KiscO, by Pilot Medium;
Tribute, by Tribune: Rostok Cossack
and Dora COsSack, by Don CoSsack; OPP
timist, by HambrinO; Peter Hardwood,
by Hardwood, and Virginius, by PhaIla-
mont. In this list there is the material
for a good fight. The. 2:29 trotting class
has nine competitors, and if they all
come to the post the spectators will see
a horse race. The entries are Magma
Wilkes, by George Wilkes; Baby Mine,
by Paramount; Regulator, by Rocker;
Maud Medium, by Happy Medium;
passenger Boy, by Legal Tender;
Virginia Evans, by Kentucky Wilkes;
Med, by Robert McGregor: j.
Wilson, by Stoner Boy. With this list
1t need hardly be said thatthe 2:29 class
should supply a great contest. Sixteen
nominations have been made in the 2:32
trOtting class, and again we have a
plethora of trOtting talent. The nominal
tions are Sir AIbin, Robert, Emma
Balsh, Agitator. Harry Medium, Lou
White, Kinsman, Prize, Brick, Alcali,
Laura Belle, Frank Sprague, Jack High
tower, KeOkee, Arcadiau and The Nun.
The fO%ur-year-Old stake will bring to-
gether nine performers, all well known
to the public. They are Harry Noble,
by Frank Noble; Satilla. by Almont
Rather: Leslie, by VOltaire; Phalla-
mont Girl, by P~hallamont; Embassy, by
Ambassador: Strathbridge, by Grand
Sentinel; Girfiue, by Pilot Medium; Di-
plomacy, by Don COssack, and Wyan-
dotte, by Ambassador. A full dozen
will come to the call for the 2:21 trotting
class. and the entries promise a race of
the first magnitude. Cleo, Roy, Williams,
LOngfelloW Whip, Frank Middleton.
Sally COssack, Stratnlan, Lady Bullion.
Mulatto, Eminence, First Call and AL
mont are the entries. and everyObServer
of trotting sport will at nee recognize
that with such a list of competitors a
great race must enSue. The Brewster
Stake, for horses eligible TO the 2:27
trotting class, has secured fourteen en-
tries, including such good performers as
So Long, Nubbins. Elisha, Gold Ring,
stake will derive its principal in
terest from the fact that the phenom-
enal and inVincible Axtell is one
of the nominations, though with
him are BismOnt, Earl McGregor,
Brown, Moody and Williams. Axtell
