Chicago. June 6.-McChesney. the vests greatest thoroughbred won the Harlem National handicap today If ever the stamp of quality was earned by a race horse 1t belongs to McChesney At every turn in the race he was winner.

 Smathers Is believed to have won $40, 900 | in the future book
 Flying Torpedo was the post favorite at 4 to 1. McChesney, because of the doubt cast on his ability to go on heavy track, went up to 1, and was not played to any extent.
 The crowd which saw the handicap was the largest gathering of the season. smathers scored a double victory. his two-year-old purchase, Dick Bernard, win ming the fourth race.
