Hopes ON the chicaxo Track.
CHICAGO. June 2a-The reopentng OF
Washington Park today means much to
the turf followers of the West. 1t has
always been admitted that 1t is the one
track that can be compared to the Eastern
courses in the merit of the sport 1t offers
AS feature of the opening those in
charge announce the thirteenth running
of the American Derby, and the indica-
tions are that 1t will bring contest in
keeping with those that have gone before.
The hope OF the West Is, OF course. c.
H. Smiths colt. Lieutenant Gibson. with
the Schorr entry, Sam Philips, to back
him up.
From the East have COME James. Pupil.
All Gold. and Waring. and the merit Of
the bid they will make is not underesti-
mated. II they are beaten it will be after
a great struggle.
Advance Guard, who won the Canadian
Derby at Fort Erie has host of admirers.
and Taral, who is here to rice him. is con-
fident of victory. Still. Lieutenant Glib
sons trial for the race, a mile and half
in 2:36 1-2 seems to give the latter the
better chance of the two.
James final was a mile and a quarter
in 200 Ia. This showing will deceive
many. as the colt is not a good winning
horse" In his races he will only do what
he has to do. Once he gets in front. he
hangs.
Sam Philips final was a mile and
half in 2:37 12, with something to spare
at the end. He is at his best and Tommy
Burns, who will pilot him is very conn-
dent Of capturing first honors.
One drawback to the day will be the
absence of public betting the open display
of odds having been prohibited by the po-
lice authorities. An effort viii be made to
introduce the system used on the Jockey
Club circuit. The innovation will be a sore
trial for the great crowds that will see
the race RIM

PORT ANGELES EASTERN r, r
Arrangements Have Been Completed for Float.
ing the Bonds.

Yesterdays Post.Intelligencer had
the following concerning the Port An
geles Eastern railroad project:
Arrangements have been completed
within the past few days whereby a
syndicate of Boston capitalists will
take the bonds of the Port Angeles
Eastern railway and furnish suffici.
ent amount of money to complete the
road, just as soon as a right-of-way
from Port Angeles to Olympia has
been secured. 1t is also assured that
the road will receive a subsidy of ST.
500 year for a period of twenty wears
from the city of Victoria to operate a
ferry line from Victoria to Port Ange.
les in connection with the railroad.
"The Port Angeles Eastern railroad
is on its feet at last" said G. C. Hatch
of Port Angeles, at the Northern last
night. "The delay has been caused
by lack of capital, but everything
has been adjusted now, and the road
will be running before the present
year is out.
"Mr. Gushing has secured sufficient
capital in the East to complete the
preliminary work, and the men inter
ested with him are preparing to move
TO Port Angeles this spring.
He has also secured a syndicate of
capitalists in the East, who have
agreed to take the bonds OF the road
just as soon as the right-of-way has
been secured for the full proposed line,
and grading has been done for dis
lance of ten miles from Port Angeles.
The right-of-way is now about COM
plete, and several miles OF the grading
has already been done, so that there is
no more trouble in store for the road.
"The big fight for the Victoria, b.
c., ferry has also been won. The
ferry line was made an issue in the re.
cent city campaign in Victoria, with
the result that the Mayor and nearly
all of the aldermen who opposed the
subsidy of a ferry line to be operated
by the road have been turned down
and officials friendly to the PROPOSE
ton elected.
"This means that the city of Vic
toria will subsidize the ferry line ST.
500 year for twenty years and that it
will be built in connection with the
road. The distance between the two
cities is eighteen miles, and no regu-
lar ferry is now operated"
