Twenty Years Ago Today Chief Turf Events of June 12, 1904 Sunday, no racing. Notwithstanding the highly sensational and unfair efforts of some of the Chicago newspapers to make it appear that trouble is likely to occur at Washington Park next Saturday, nothing of the sort need be apprehended. The Washington Park club numbers in its membership many of the best citizens of Chicago and its officers are law abiding citizens. It is their purpose to carry on a race meeting peacefully and in good order as in past years.
