T W Dunworth has returned from
his three weeks trip to Chicago with
three inches Of Windy City tan on his
broad Celtic features, also with his rich
Limerick hrogue intact and the Tip
perary smile that has made Austin Loft
tus irresistible among his female acquaint-
ances. And that Is going some. While
Mr.. Dunworth thinks the Windy City a
big hustling town and all that. he ex-
presses himself as being contented 10
live the balance Of his days in Washing
ton.
While absent. he spent two Saturdays
at the crack Chicago Driving Clubs
track and witnessed the matinees, which.

horses beat them a city block in the way
OF speed and good looks. As Mr.. Dun
worth Is a generous patron Of our own
Speedway and an excellent Judge OF
horsehesh. his opinion is worth some
thing. For what they have got and for
what they enjoy, the Chicago horsemen,
he says, pay literally and cheerfully.
Again, he says the classification Of horses
at the Chicago meets is more wisely
done than at this point, and that when
any decision or any changes are made
by the judges. as to classes or rigging.
the word Of the judges goes without pro-
test
Only nonprofessionals drive in these
matinees. and every owner drives his
horse and teams as If he were trying for
the NJ. and NJ. stakes. instead Of for the
mere honor OF winning Another fea-
ture commented upon by Mr. Dunworth
Is the important fact that the finishes
are close In all Of the classes. all OF
which arouses the widest excitement
among the people in the grandstand.
Good music is furnished at every enter
tainment. for which those interested pay
out OF their individual pockets without
murmer.
And while dealing with Mr.. DunwOrth S
experience at the Chicago Speedway. il
is well 70 recall 70 mind that in view
OF the fact that a number Of local horses
are already promised for the Labor Day
races at BenninE September 5. it will
soon be time 10 get our own Speedway
in condition in order that the horses
that VIII be entered can be worked over
H. AS matters now stand, II is prob
able that those who wish 70 use the Po-
tomac Speedway for the purpose Of con-
diuoning their horses for the Labor Day
meet will have 20 contribute toward plac-
ing the track in condition out Of their
private pockets. This. no doubt. they
will gladly do, as they are all men OF
means, take pride in their horses. and
race for honor and glory rather than
for mercenary purposes.
Mr.. Dunworth has decided 10 help the
labor people out by entering Gentle John,
and will call him In from the country
this week. Michael Morris and John
Morris will enter every horse they own
that is old enough 10 race. and state
that they only regret that they do not
