M'CHESNEY RAN SECOND
IDOL OF THE WEST DEFEATED EAS-
lily BY THE MINUTE MAN.
McChesney Closed Strong I'm the
Stretch, bat Vas Never Able to
Catch the Flying Leader.

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Minute Man, a
two-year-old owned by ]. f. Madden, ran
the fastest mile run in the East in four or
five years at Sheepshead Bay to-day. The
game son of Juvenal-Semper Paratus not
only ran a remarkably fast mile, but also
beat the great McChesney, the idol of the
West. He went the distance in 1:3S AS. AL
though the Smathers horse was defeated,
he ran an excellent race considering that
this was his first start in nearly two
months. The race itself was a procession,
the Minute Man jumping ava I'm front,
opening up a gap. holding his advantage
to the end and winning by two lengths.
McChesney closed very strong in the
stretch, but was never able to catch the
flying leader. THAN. the only other starter,
was beaten off. The Turf handicap, the
only stake event on the card, was won by
Florham Queen. Summaries:
