CHICAGO, August 2S.-In his trial

tion mile, the great Directum did
no better than 2:lG15. Yet the
track and weather sEzere the best
for record breaking o. the week. 1t

light. Something evidently is wrong
with the black wonder, although horse

whether the owners OF the horse are
merely reserving him or whether he Is

was given two warnings up before MS
formal trial to-day, and 10 one
of these was Credsae with going
in 2:OS5I, dgure that
the official timers refused to
confirm. The last quarter was said to
be in 3O15. The chief feature to-day
was the victory of JOHN L. Gentry In
the 2:OS pace, in straight Leafs. The
time was the fastest of tae meeting
2:O71I, 2:O7lI, 2:OS. Fer The opening
heat Hal Bradon was al almost prohlo-
live favorite, to being the best the
books would make. Ct9 6Ooknaker

each of the others payi@s out small
fortune on Gentry. Tn, latter paced

the great attraction is the match b.
tween Robert j., 2.J44 and Joe

The track to-day was in good shape and
the weather propitious. In all races
the favorites Jared badly. In the 2:l4
| class trotting, CobwebS, the former
champion OF the Grand Circuit was
backed heavily at $50 against 500 for
| the lot, but she proved no match Tor
the strong field. Billy R. tired after
winning .the first two heats, and Aunt
Delilah won the race in three encoun-
ters with the field. Daisy de Spain,
the winner of yesterdays 2:l9 pace,
was considered cinch at 500 against
$40 for the field in the 2:26 pace
race, but she was not good after
winning two heats, and Claytona
| trotted of with the honors, pushed
hard by Grace Willis. The favorte in
the 2:27 trot was Little Tooe, selling at
s25 against SIS for the field. Happy
Lady won in straight heats, though
Little Tobe crowded her hard each
time, and made it very pretty race.
