AT THE RACE TRACK.
Everything Ready for the Spring Meeting
to Commence Next Tuesday

W Sofnuhence Next tuesday.
On Tuesday next the regular spring meeting
OF the Washington Jockey Club will begin at
the Benning track. and if indications go for
anything the meeting will be one Of the most
successful ever held In Washington. Work.
men are busily engaged putting the track in
shape, and when the bugle calls for the first
race on Tuesday racing enthusiasts will look
upon one Of the finest tracks in the country.
The steeplechase course has been improved
and all that marshy land on the left Of the in
field, where the jumpers had such hard time
last year, has been filed in and is as hard
as any other part of the field. A brand-new
stable with all modern improvements has
Just been erected. and several more are IN con-
temptation. At present there are 341 horses at
the track. That is, there is that number Of
horses In Washington ready to race. OF this
number a good many at the old Ivy City
track, for the stable accommodations at Ben
ming were all taken long ago.
The horses are all in excellent trim and the
keying up Is going on all the time. From early
tins morning until the sun had shown a great
big piece of sky between itself and the horizon
the horses were speeding about the track. 1t
looked like a real race part OF the time and
there was many brush past the spot where
the trainer stood, watch in hand, noting the
performances of his fast ones.
