WASHINGTON PARK QUITS.
Banishing Of Bookmakers Too Much
for Chicago Track.

There will be no more horse racing at
Washington Park. Chicago, this year. and
a report Is in circulation that the track
where so many American Derbies have
been decided will be abandoned
After the city authorities prohibited bet
ting in any form at the track few patron
enough money was taken in at the gates
TO pay the employees Of the track, to say
nothing of the purses which amounted to
an average of $1,000 day.
After yesterdays races the directors of
the club decided to close the gates for the
present meeting, at least, and all stakes
proposition made to run some of the
stakes at the other tracks, but it was re-
fused.
When last years Derby was decided the
attendance was between 80 600 and 10000.
Last Saturday the crowd was fully $1,000
less. Monday not more than 81 500 was
taken in at the gates, against ten times
that amount on the corresponding day of
last years meeting. Yesterday less than
800 was received in paid admissions, MAX
ing the attendance the smallest that has
ever seen the thoroughbreds run at Wash
ington Park.
Whether the closing of WASHINGTON Parl,
will have any effect on the running of ees
on other tracks in the vicinity of Chicago
is not known. The Washington Park track
Is situated in the city of Chicago, and is
under the Jurisdiction of the city autiori-
ties. The other Chicago tracks-Harler1.
Hawthorne and Worth-are located outside
the city limits. Whether Sheriff Barrett
will interfere with these tracks is unde-
termined. 1t is not likely there will be any
more racing in Chicago until July II. when
Hawthorne opens for it's summer meeting

HERMIs HEAVILY BACKED.
His Owner Will Bet Nearly 800, OOo
That he Wins Saturday.

E. r. Thomas is said to have sent a
commissioner to st. Louis with about $780,
600 to wager that his horse Hermis will
win the $4,000 Worlds Fair handicap
that is to be run next Saturday.
Thomas commissioner left New York
with Jockey Redfern last night. and If
the st. Louis bookmakers will take his
money Thomas will bet the enormous
amount in one chunk.
Probably the largest previous wager was
made by "Plunger' Walton at Monmouth
Park. when he wagered $4,000 on one
horse in a single race. Hermis will carry
the hopes and also the wager OF many
eastern race-goers. Westerners seem to
be willing to take all the money the back
ers OF Hermis want to put up and many
bookings were made at II to 5.
With such a field as Hermis. winner OF
the Suburban: Irish Lad. winner of the
Metropolitan. second in the Brooklyn and
third In the Suburban: McChesney, Gold
Heels, the star of two seasons ago, and
Eernays. fanked by such prominent lesser
lights as Witful Judge Hines and Colo

be the best that ever faced a starter In
one event in this country.
The favorite of the west seems to he
Gold Heels. Reports from st. Louis are
that the horse is doing we'll in trial heats
and shows no sign of unsoundness.
Hermis. the champion of the east, ar
rived in ST. Louis yesterday in perfect con-
dtion for the Worlds Fair handicap. to
be run Saturday.
