WHEELER HANDICAP.

RinG-Miss GoIightly Won Del
mars Mound City Stakes.

CHICAGO. July 1s.-In a marked reversal
OF form. Jack Ratiin. at p to l, won the
Wheeler handicap at Washington Park to-
day over heavy track. The race was the
feature OF the closing day Of the meeting.
Like most OF the fixed events, it proved to
be big upset. The winner was never con-
sidered as likely to land and was not given
tle slightest attention in the betting ring.
Jack Ratlin won by a head. Gold Bell
made a stronger bid at the end and would
probably have been. first with a stronger
rider than Reed. The winner ran last on
Friday TO poorer horses than he beat to-
day
Jack Ratlin led all the way. The pace
was so slow that the race was turned into
a sprint at the end. Jack Ratlin is purely
Splinter and won for that reason. AT
the head of the stretch Jack Ratlin had
lead of three lengths. Both Gold Bell and
Flying Ship closed on him, but could not
catch him. Lucien Appleby. the favorite.
was never contender. He ran near the
end OF the field all the way and finished
next TO last. The Wheeler handicap was
worth 5000 to German and Bauer, who own
the winner.
The Lakeview handicap. the closing two
year-old stake event. went to Captain 5. 5.
Browns colt Proceeds, good mudder,
