q Nose at Chicago.

Chicago. June 9.-John A. brakes
Savable. at present the favorite in the
future books in the American Derby,
gave McChesney a beating at Harlem
in one Of the most falsely run races OF
the year. Savable had only a nose to
spare over the Harlem national hands
cap winner at the wire, and in one more

The defeat of McChesney was due to
poor racing luck. Rounding the first
turn Eva G. swerved across in front or

Smathers horse down and causing him
to lose a dozen lengths. Before Gray
could get AIcChesney in his stride again
Savable and Jackful were a long way
in front. 1t looked almost hopeless

again, but he gradually wore down the
leaders, raced into second place at the
far turn and then set out after Saw

the stretch McChesney moved like Il

his whip until just a fraction Of a sec

line losing ground at every jump, but
