CHICAGO, Aug. 22.--The mighty East was
humbled to the dust to-day before Western
rabble of $4,000 persons hysterical with de-
light. Dsdain did it. Kingston, probably
the greatest race horse on the turf, and
Hamilton, said to be the cleverest rider in
America, pranced more proudly past the
grand stand at Garfield Park this after
noon than IL monarchs by right divine.
Swung out on an iron hook over the course at
the judges stand there swayed gently in the
sun silken scarlet and white gold tasselled
purse, Sc containing bit of paper good for
pretty prize had been hung up by the
Garfield Park Club to bring together
the best runners in training for battle royal
on the new track just built to the ground that
in years gone by witnessed the greatest per-
formances of Goldsmith Maid, Maud s., and
others scarcely less classic. 1t had been ar
ranged that the famous Chicago swayback,
Tenny, should uphold the honors for the city.
and much regret was expressed to-day that
Tenny's temporary bad form prevented the
plan being carried out
Nevertheless remarkable contest, it was
conceded, would of necessity ensue with
Kingston, known to be in splendid condition,
being chased by the Kansas City crack, Verge
Dor, the California record breaker Aloha,
and the fresh Kentucky beauty, Marion G.
Aloha looked fine and strong, but Verge Dor
appeared half asleep Marion CPS sides shone
like FURNISHED gold, as with "Dare Devil''
Fitzpatrick on her back, she slipped past the
admiring thousands on her way to the start
ing line. Kingston came up alone in the op-
posite direction from the other horses, and his
imperious bearing and the confident demeanor
of the supposedly invincible colored boy in
the saddle, caused instant and widespread
comment.
From start to finish no prettier race was
ever run. All were close together clear
around, and entering the stretch so closely
and swiftly did they come that the eye could
scarcely follow. An instant more and the
big Kentucky mare with the dashing Irishman
bestriding was seen to have the mastery.
Whipping and squirting they came, but in
vain. Such volcano of cheers as now broke
forth was probably never before heard on a
Western race course.
Fitzpatrick, painting, was carried in triumph
on the shoulders of the crowd, while be took
down the sill1en purse, handing it to farmer
looking individual in shirt sleeves. The latter
was no other than j. Milton Young, of Lex
ington, the owner of Marion G. He gave Fitz-
patrick an even $1,000 on the spot, while
Jockey Hamilton, standing by, gloomily
watched M. F. Dyers dressy son Charley
personally blanket the steaming, bloody
| sides of the defeated champion Kingston.
Hamilton rode Kingston furiously, but the
Kentuckian passed under the wire winner by
a clean open length from Kingston. Aloha,
who ran a surprisingly great race, was third,
length and half away, while Verge Dor
