FINE srOCE-A LARGE ATTENDANCE TO En-
COURAGE \ NEW OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF YES
TERDAYs EVENTS.
The Bennings course had look OF
gayety and life yesterday afternoon that re-
called to many old timers the days of long ago.
The Trot,ing Horse Breeders Association of
Maryland and the District wero opening their
race meeting and friencs and relatives Of the
popular organization were ont in full force.
The 1905 and the 1 O'Clock trains from the city
brought full quotas of visitors while Baltimore
furnished big contingent on the Baltimore
special SO many carriages and other vehicles
have scarcely been seen at Bennings as lined
all the available space around tho sheds during
the afternoon The grand stand was fairly
dazzling with the number of ladies present,
their bright costumes seeming to harmonic
with the music which the full Marine Band
poured out only the Marine Band can pour
out music.
Altogether the first day NAV be set down
as Z success. the day was perfect. the crowd
large and the racing close. Ii the new associa-
ton showed fault it was in the slow manner
in which the races were started and the long
waits. With two races going. thelr heats dove
failing together. there should be scarcely any
interval between heats. That there con-
siderable delay Is shown by the fact that II was
found impossible to finish the last race. only
two heats being trOtted. The races today,
however. will be Started promptly ~ o'clock.
and the heats will be started much more
promptly.
THE STOCK EXHIBIT.
The display of stock by the members OF the
association yesterday was worth making the
trip to Bennings without the excellent running.
The stock was paraded before the grand stand
in single file. over fifty horses being IN the
line. The display was one calculated TO cause
surprise 10 people who have not kept abreast
OF the movement in Maryland and the District
toward raising Class of trotters to compare
with any stock in the country. The display
Yesterday was more than creditable from the
fiery stallion TO the strings of colts. Glen.
Ec;le had a fine lot in the line. while the De
Ga=ncndla stud did credit TO Its owner and
Maryland. Probably Mr.. W. W. Railey's coal
black stallion Volunteer created as much in
tercst as any exhibit. He is a magnificent
animal by Volunteer Jr., dam Ferd Butler
mare. and did great credit to Montgomery
county.
