1891Society Society was not represented ami amid no fourin flouring hands graced the infield The drives approach ¬ ing King the Hawthorne track are of the best the railroad facilities unequaled but the race ¬ course is on the West Side Aristocracy may make its money on one side of the river and spend it on the other Thats Hats nobodys nobody busi bus ¬ ness The West Side courses having no weighty financiers able lawyers great newspaper men or cunning politicians interested in their wel weal ¬ fare declare their purpose cold turkey and acknowledge that without betting racing can ¬ not exist The result is that even such a mighty turf event as that of yesterday is a thing of a day and its promoters are considered by alleged reformers as bad men in the community The real lovers of racing will flock to any spot where is presented the actual article and Hawthornes Hawthorns big race drew a large number of citizens from racing centers widely separated and remote from Chicago It is only the sporting man who nowadays braves the perils of the hold ups and comes to Chicago to spend his time and money Therefore conspicuous by his ab ¬ sence Spence was the country merchant a man that in the days when policemen shot at thieves and murderers instead of plunking targets for medals occasionally dropped into town to at ¬ tend the races But the crowd was a huge one and as on Derby Day jollity everywhere was the prevailing condition conditionJinks conditionings Jinks at the opening of the betting being posted at 4 to 1 caused general surprise to the uninformed and these men putting on their money were injured by the reports spread some days since to the effect that the Stallion Stakes was practically over before the horses went to the post The fact was that the book ¬ makers knew that Pat Dunnes Dunes filly had spread ar foot in her work on Friday The owner was utdecided undecided all morning as to starting her and although cautioned by such a good judge as J H McCormick as to the liability of mining his filly the plucky Dunne applying all known applications of cocaine etc to the injured foot finally sent Jinks to the post The trio of Messrs Messes Fleischmann Freshman was opened as an entry at 4 to 5 but at once advanced to 11 to 10 The prices first posted varied but little Jinks re cec cc ing King slightly There was a straggling pay on all the horse but Miss Marion was neglected 1 as Baney Barney Scbreiber Schreiber did not think she fancied sticky going and had been on his knees all the night previous praying for rain to make the going sloppy Fleischmanns Freshman entry drifted to 13 to 10 at the post and a irifle virile of 7 to 5 might be had hadThe hate The horses went to the post in gallant style even Jinks not favoring her injured foot and none could find fault with his champion The size of Jockey Maher was much commented upon it being unusual to see a 92 pound boy riding a favorite carrying 118 pounds for Alpen Galen was the well touted animal to do the trick He certainly looked like a good racehorse as nodding his splendid head and like Yo Tambien Ambient turning his blaza blaze face to the grand stand he moved lazily on in the center of the parade Dr Eichberg Iceberg was the last horse to reach the post A line up was quickly effected by Bruen Braun and at the first attempt a perfect start was made all the horses nearly aligned across the track The Barrister moved to the front in the first few strides but was quickly outrun by Miss Marion The latter could never shake off Alpen Galen the favorite sticking within two lengths until the first threeeighths where Miss Marions Marion effort to draw away widened a gap which in the next eighth was again closed and the pair raced into the homestretch the filly leading by two lengths only Dr Eichberg Iceberg had been fourth Jinks fifth at the half mile ground on the backstretch but The Barrister falling away the crippled filly headad headed Dr Eich Erich berg and showed third eight lengths be ¬ hind Alpen Galen As the flying leaders gave out no signal of distress the race was now seen to be between them solely Miss Marion kept the lead until nearing the last eighth where Alpen Galen closing with her Rutter Ruttier dent the filly to the whip He put it down with excellent judgment as Alpen Galen showed ability to go on and looked around to see where the others were Finding nothing near the others were ten lengths away Rutter Ruttier reasoned that he could lose nothing by driving home and he set to work with whip and spur to such effect that at the last sixteenth Miss Marions Marion nose was at the leaders flanks Here Alpen Galen bore in slightly and Maher proved himself a cool and capable jockey by straightening up his horse before a foul could occur From now on to the wire the horses ran almost stride for stride and Alpen Galen won nose and tail Both finished closely on the inside rail and Rutter Ruttier claimed foul which Judge Rees did not allow The presiding judge said that the claim was made in a half hearted manner The boy was most likely taking a dying chance Dr Eichberg Iceberg finishing near the outside fence got the third money but was beaten off by those ahead of him in fact he had a tight race with Chancery for the position several others being close up causing a fierce drive on the part of Jockey Bill BillNemo Bill Nemo Memo a horse that opened at 30 was backed down to 8 to 1 for the first race but Marcato Mercator ruled favorite at 3 to 2 The bookmakers were kept busy by a steady play on Sir Hobart and Chauncey Chancery Fisher was nibbled at but all other horses advanced in price The track was heavy and holding and in his preliminary Nemo Memo ran well but the best he could do at any stage of the race was to show third at the far turn The start was excellent but Neome Nome fell back in the first few strides the lead being taken first by Moch Mooch then by Prestar Restart and the two named were first and second to the upper turn where Marca Marcia ¬ to joined them and Chauncey Chancery Fisher fifth was six lengths behind Prestar Restart The latter led on suf surf ¬ ferance france from Marcato Mercator to the final sixteenth the favorite then going on and winning handily from Mr Easton who came from nowhere and beat the tired Prestar Restart for the place Herman Kahn a long shot was fairly well up in fifth position I For the second race Timemaker Tidemark was opened by the new bookmakers at 6 to 5 but very little money was taken from the eager crowd of spec ¬ ulators mulattos even when a big 1 was placed opposite the name of Mr Schorrs Scorers horse and 4 to 5 was the quotation for bets as large as f50 Verify and Mary Black were held at 4 to 1 each and in the book with the favorite barred the former stood at 6 to 5 Mary Black at 3 to 2 Against Nivoce Invoice Sugar Cane and Jim Brown 200 to 1 each was laid Timemaker Tidemark refusing to join his field was finally left at the post Realizing that it was a start J McDonald sent out Timemaker Tidemark after the other horses which were many lengths ahead of him The favorite ran a most ex ¬ traordinary tsarina race and finally finished third about four lengths behind Verify the winner Nicholas a new comer led away from the post Mary Black second Verify third At the far turn Nicholas stopped and looked to be willing to get out of the track On the upper turn Mary Black was passed by Verify who led easily the balance ot the way Mary Black was lengths ahead of Nivoce Invoice at the last threesix threes ¬ teenths tenths but the long shot of J Delongs Belongs plugged along while Wishards Wishers filly driven hard at the last hundred yards stopped to nothing and not only Nivoce Invoice beat her handily but Timemaker Tidemark got up in time to win third money in the last strides Nivoce Invoice at one time was 60 to 1 place 10 to 1 show and went to the pos at 40 and 10 and the holiday crowd naturally given to long shots hurt the bookies considerably considerablyHosi considerably Hosi Hoi went out and was not caught until a half mile from home where Winslow laid off from six to ten lengths behind all the other horses was waved on by a rubbing cloth in the hands of his trainer who stood in the infield and he ran from last to first place in a sixteenth of a mile Bethlehem Star had been lying close be ¬ hind Hosi Hoi and he now cut out after Winslow the pair leaving all others far behind A short drive at the last eighth and the old horse outlived the younger one winning as he pleased by several lengths
