The Favoritcs Pretty Generally
Beaten-To-Day's Entries.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The rain put
the track i'll good condition, and there
was a large attendance despite the
threatening weather. The afternoon
was all that could be desired. Nc
Laughlin was not mounted yesterday
nor to-day. He has gone to New York
to consult physicians and try to get
ready for the Brooklyn meeting. His
stomach is out Of order. His rival.
Snapper Garrison, has had two success
full mounts, and this diScourages Me-
Laughlin. Sir Dixon has been shipped
to New York for the Brooklyn meeting.
The probable starters tomorrow for the
National handicap will be: Favor, 100;
Richmond, lis; BeSs, 106; Panama, 105:
Speciality, 100; The Bourbon, 9S; and
Klamath, 90. This will be the last
stake race of the meeting and it should
be good contest, and Favor wi |
win. To-day was anybody's day.
The favorites were knocked out
and calculations went all wrong. Book
makers are rotund and happy and anna
teurs are called home on borrowed
money. The foreign legations were
present in force, but the senators and
congressman stayed in town to hear
Ingalls, assault upon Voorhees,. The
Chinese were in full panOply of Orien-
tai Splendor, and they spent their money
royalty on their favorites. Horse rae
ing is game in which long flowing
sleeves are worth no advantage, and
hence the CelestialS lost money in bulky
packages. The Japanese were on the
ground, but they are modest, unassum-
inn int u, I
not, or win or lose, no one knows but
themselves. Jennings will ship all his
stock to Louisville on Thursday and
will not enter another race during this
week. He has cleared $50, 900 already
and will not strain or push his flyers too
soon. Tomorrow will be the greatest
day of the meeting, probably, as eXcur-
sion trains are bringing in thousands of
country men and women.
