GRAND PRIX DE PARIS.
Horses of Edmond Blanc Won All
Three Places in the Race

The Grand Prix de Paris. of 100000 francs,
distance about one mile and seven furlongs,
was run at Longchamps, near Paris, yes
terday in the presence of an extremely
large crowd. 1t was won by Edmond
Blanc's Quo Vadis. NJ. Blancs Caius and
Vinicius we're second and third, respect
lively. w. X. vanderbilt's Alpha came in
fourth.
Seldom. if ever, has the Grand Prix at
tracted a larger and more fashionable as
semblage. Favored by cool, though sunny
weather. the crowd began to gather early
in the day and by noon many thousands
were spread over the immense area Pic
MICS were held on the green Sward. Many
people, too, lunched under the green trees
in the Bots de Boulogne surrounding the
course. Before O'Clock the fashionable
visitors began arriving in large numbers,
and the Enclosures and grand stand soon
presented a brilliant appearance. being
filed to their utmost capacity by a gather
ing of almost all that Paris contains of So
cial celebrities. Among the many Ameri-
cans present were Consul General Gowdy
and Mr.. and Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt. Eng
lish spectators also were seen in greater
numbers than for many years, this being
attributed to King Edwards recent visit
and the consequent renewal of cordial rela-
lions between the two countries, although
the absence of English horses in the race
for the Grand Prix was much remarked.
Shortly before the cracks paraded for the
chief contest the president of the republic,
with Madame Loubet and their suite, ar
rived in open landauS, with liveried outrid-
ers and escorted by cuirassiers. There was
a rush to see them, and cheers were raised
as they drove into the paddock, where the
committee of the Jockey Club received and
escorted the party to the presidential stand,
in which the members of the diplomatic
corps and several ministers were already
assembled.

received M. Blanc and congra tulated him
on winning the Grand Prix, and soon after

Besides taking fourth place in the Grand

McCHESNEY A WINNER.
Western Thoroughbred Won National
Handicap in Easy Style.

McChesney, the VESTS greatest thorough
bred, won the Harlem national handicap
at Chicago Saturday. If ever the stamp OF
quality was earned by race morse IL De-
longs to McChesney. At every turn In the
race he was winner. Every step Oh the
way Jockey c. Gray held him where he
could gallop to the front. He ran strongly
and easily and scored as honest Victofy
as the turf has recorded. Galloping under
the wire. going almost as he pleased, ne
beat Gregor K. the popular three-year-oio'
by length and a half. McChesney's own
er, E. E. Smathers, gave Gray, the winning
jockey, the entire purse. The purse amounts
to 5000. The horses rubber received
$1,000. McChesney carried the top weight
of 127 pounds on heavy track not to his
liking, in a big field Of nineteen horses.
which was delayed seventeen minutes at
the post.
The race could not have been more truly
won. The start was good. Jockey Gray
injured in New York, did all and probably
more than that eastern rider could have
accomplished.
Gregor K jumped out into the front and
the big California colt Epicure Followed
him. and Linguist came next McChesney
was sixth. 1t was brilliant piece of
jockeyship on Gray's part.
The field did not string far out on the
backstretch. but ran nicely and fairly well
punched. Gregor X. kept the lead by a
length, with Epcure and Linguist close up.
Passing the half mile ,McChesney was sixth.
Jockey Gray moved him up little, not
quickly. but easily, naturally and handily.
When the big field had made the bend Nc
Chesney had quietly moved up to second
place. Only Gregor Il. stood between him
and victory. The cries of "McChesney
wins! began to come, and every stride
farther down the stretch told that the story
was true. Just sitting still and allowing
the horse to do his best was the part played
by Gray. Gradually McChesney came 10
the front He had the race won an eighth
of mile out Farther along he had a
lead of two lengths, and when Gregor X.
proved unable to gain Jockey Gray eased
up and won by little over a length.
For Gregor X. it must be said that he
ran good race. 1t would have been
greater performance but for the fact that
1t was overshadowed by the WONDERFUL VIC
tory of McChesney. Hargis ma1ntanied MS
speed and ran third.
The time of the race was 2.10 80, which
was good, considering the track and condi-
lions. The crowd could not get through
cheering the victor. There were renewed
rounds of applause every minute. The
placing of the floral saddle. the appearance

took 1t almost as a personal victory, as 1t

Broomstick and Irish Lad Winners
and Record Breakers.

Capt. s. w. Browns Broomstick with
Odom up. romped home an easy winner in
the great American stakes at Gravesend
Saturday. The Ben Brush-Elf colt was
hot favorite, closing at to s. He also
smashed the record for the race by cover
ing the five furlongs in leo fat. This rich
stake brought out a first-class field of
youngsters. Despite the fact that Capt.
Browns colt was carrying the heavy i'm
post of 125 pounds the public made him
hot favorite, with Whitney's Stalwart Sec
ond choice. Broomstick was first to show
a good start, with Baseful second. Round
ing into the stretch Odom let his mount
have his head, and he simply galloped home
a winner by two lengths, with Staiwart
second, two lengths in front of Tim Sulli-
van.
Irish Lad, the winner of the Brooklyn
handicap. showed himself to be the best
three-year-old seen in the east in some time
by his decisive victory in the Broadway
stakes. The Brooklyn winner was never
fully extended at any part of the journey.
He handled the 1876 pounds in fine style.
and, getting off in front made his own
pace and won easily by one and half
lengths from Flo Carlne, who closed with
a rush in the stretch.
The mile and one-sixteenth was covered
in LAT fiat, which is the fastest time this
race has ever been run in.

Elberfeld to Sue Detroit Club for I'm
lust SUSPENSION.

A special from Detroit says that the lat
est tangle in the Elberfeld- Barrow Angus
situat ton is the announcement by the player
that he will ask the courts to look into the
action of the Detroit club and furnish a
little balm for his wounded feelings, be-
sides returning to him the money held out
Of his salary as a fine. Elberfeld holds
that his professional reputation has been
injured by statements that he has thrown
games as well as by direct statement that
he disobeyed orders of his captain and his
manager. He has already consulted a
LAWYER who will decide on a plan OF ac-
ton before EIberfeld starts for his home In
Tennessee on Monday next.
President Angus is saying nothing, lgnor-
ing the player and declining to discuss fu-
ture action of the Detroit team. He ana
Barrow are both working for the trade py
which they may get some 1nneld talent IN

Comiskey said the walters strike made II
