Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, Oct. I1.-Horsemen are a
unit in their declaration that Big Ben
is a speed marvel. With 123 pounds on
his back in the third and feature event
at Worth to-day he took all the fast
sprinters into camp. AS in former
events he won as he pleased, with a
good length to spare over Floral King
and Mamie Hodge. Don Domo, the
gray streak" was beaten off.
Mont Tennes, who recently purchased
the big son of Ben Strome-Mint Julep
and won him out in his last start,
would not believe that Big Ben could
give away so much weight and defeat
these sprinters, so he allowed him to
run for the purse and did not back him.
on that account the odds on Big Ben
went up from even money to to 2,
which was considered out of line by
many who profited well on his victory.
Floral King rushed to the front at
the start, taking a lead of two lengths,
with Mamie Hodge second and Big
Ben third, close up. Turning into the
stretch Big Ben rushed into the lead
and Mamie Hodge also closed strongly.
Prior then called upon Big Ben and he
drew away and won easily by length.
