opening day of the Chicago racing asso-
cations regular spring meeting.
The new track is located at Hawthorne,
Thirty-fifth and w. Forty-eighth-sts.,an and is
great improvement upon the track used
by this association last year. The two
story grand stand has seating capacity
of 10000 and is fitted in the most APP
proved style. The track-as all new
tracks are-was springy and slow. As
early as ii o'clock trains began to arrive,
and by 2:30 o'clock, the time set for the
first race, there was fully 10000 people
present, including many ladies. The
weather was cloudy and threatening.
The feature OF the day was the Chicago
derby tor three-year-olds, $40 entrance;
$50 to start, with g, 500 added; one and
one-quarter miles.
After two races had been contested the
twentv.one bookmakers doing business
marked the following starters, Jockeys
and odds for the derby: Nero 122,
Narvce, 10 to 8; Silverado l22, Hill,
to- l; Dundee 122, Lawrence, to /;
Brookwood III, Kiley, 6 to /. Roseland
and Glenrush, who were named last night
as starters, were scratched. The crowd
shoveled tons of money on Nero, the gen.
eral impression seeming to be that he
could not lose.
The bugle sounded and the horses can
tered by the stand TO the post. The spec
tators cheered and seated themselves TO
see the race. The horses were sent away
at the first attempt on even terms. Sill
verado Immediately jumped to the front
and at the stand was leading Nero by two
lengths, Brookwood last. In the turn
Nero ran like wild horse, and when the
back stretch was reached had taken the
lead from Silverado by half length,
the others punched, two lengths
awav. This order was maintained until
the far turn was reached, when kiley let
loose on Brookwood and took second
place from Siverado. When the stretch
was reached Nero was in trouble and
Brookwood was gaining ground rapidly.
A sixteenth from the wire Brookwood had
forged ahead and coming strong won
| easily by two lengths. Dundee made up
lot of ground in the last one hundred
yards and beat Nero a length for the
place. Silverado was two lengths behind
Nero. Time 2l7. The winner is owned
! by Ed Corrigan.
