Helen Nichols Captures the Rich
Queen Isabella Stakes,


CHICAGO, July flames J. McCaffer-
ty's Helen Nichols is evidently in better
form than any other member of the
Southerner's string, which thus far this
year has failed to keep up its 1892 repu-
tation. Today the filly won the Queen
Isabella stakes at Washington park
easily. She had to race for half a mile
as hard as filly ever raced. and then
her only rival, Maid Marian, who
Wednesday eQualed the worlds record
at mile and seventy yards,
dropped behind, and the race for
first placewas over. The stake waSworth
S13,540 TO the winner, and there we're
nine starters. Helen Nichols was ia
vorite at to 10, Maid Marian 7 to and
the others not considered. Helen
Nichols and Maid Marian ran like
pair for four and half furlongs, each
meaning to run the other off its feet.
and they were fifteen lengths in front of
the field when the Kendall stable FLY
gave up the fight. The half was COW
cred in 49,, but the remainder of the
race was so slow that the time for the
mile was only 1929. Helen Nichols
won easily. and Darevela beat the tired
Maid Marian for second place.
1t was coed day for favorites. Joe
Blackburn managed to capture the
opening event in fast time after Martin
had extricated him from several bad
tangles. The two-year-old race went to
the California colt, Peter the Great,
first choice in the betting. He was first
away. and won easily. Hi Henry, the
half-breed WHO beat Peter Monday and
who carried much money today, was un-
placed. Hasty, with good backing,
won the fourth race from Sill
veradO. the favorite. who was
the chief pacemaker. Hasty made
his race just before the finish.
Tim Murphy set fast pace in the first
heat of the three-fOurths of mile race,
but was caught at the wire by Glee Boy.
Old Guido. with light weight up. was
kept back in this heat and won the next
two as he pleased. Tim Murphy's race
famed him. The judges reserved their
decision on third money until Monday.
The high class of horses at the track
was revealed when Loudon, in selling

worlds record at mile and sixteenth
