New York Sun Special Service 4
Chicago, April 28.-The managers Of the
Worth racetrack have bowed to the decision of
states Attorney Healy, which holds for them
the inevitable, and at meeting Of the board
OF directors today the race meeting scheduled
to be opened Saturday will be formally called
off.
III the opinion of racehorse men similar ac-
ZION VIII be taken by the directors of the Haw-
thorn and Harlem track and the track at WASH
lnston park. and the decision that will be
the sealing of the death of racing in Chica 90
this season.
among the more enthusiastic racehorse owners
ana bookmakers in the city there was hope
that the Worth officials would make some ef-
tort to c1rcumvent the decision of the states
attorney, but. however these hopes may have
peen bolstered up during the earlier stages of
the light, they were forever blasted yesterday
by statement issued by J. p. Wagner, man
ager and part owner Of the Worth track.
The Worth Jockey club has no intention of
attempting to conduct a race meeting il the
authorities of Cook county are opposed to It,"
he said, and from the attitude of the other
directors it was evident that he made the state
lnent after practically unanimous decision
had been reached.
Shortly after Wagner made the declaration
that means the end of the last hope for racing
In Chicago steps were taken by other directors
TO prevent the further shipping of horses to the
city. Word was sent to horse owners at Nash
Vile and st. Louis. who had made preparations
TO bring their stables here to stop all shipments
garding a probable move to the Hammond or
Roby tracks, just across the line in Indiana, it
Is not believed that any such step will be
taken. &c. r.. G..=o

shot up the hill at a pace which foreboded dire
results to both rider and machine. At. the
turns the ifty-horsepower steamer rode two
wheels and skidded to an extent which made
complete overturn imminent. Except at the
start the big machine set mile a-minute

DID, weighs 100 pounds and stands four feet
nine inches in height. He Is strongly, but not
bulkily built, and, looking at him when he is

he is capable of performing wonderful feats

that is astonishing. Recently at Schmer park,
says the Montreal Herald, he surprised 5000

adults would venture to take familiarities with.
He did not attempt any record feats, how
