BETTER WEATHER,
Also . Larger Crowd mt Benning Races
Yesterday.

Yesterday was typical racing weather
and the largest crowd Of the meeting Jour-
neyed to Benning to witness the sport fur
nished by the Jockey Club. The presence
OF the fair sex in large numbers enlivened
the scene somewhat, and the sport was ex-
citing. Only two favorites were able to
win, and four outsiders, one a Is to / shot
landed winners. The program opened with
five furlong dash for two-year-olds There
was considerable delay at the post, but
when they did get off the race was never in
doubt. Dart won, with Hartford a close
second, and Eliza Ann, third.
The second race was a split Of the first
the distance being the same for two-year-
olds. Fatality opened favorite but when
the wire was reached he was third, West
Park winning. and Little Mat securing the
place.
The third race was heavy weight handi-
cap, six furlongs. William T. was tipped as
the sure thing Of the day and big wad Of
money went in on him. The winner turned
up in TERRIER. who was carrying top weight
Mask was second and Correction third
The next race was a disappointment to
the owner of Restraint, old Father Bill, who
thought his horse could win sure, after its
great performance at mile but Anne
Bishop, who ruled a strong favorite, was
never headed and won in hollow style;
Plebeian second and Restraint third.
The talent kicked long and strong over the
result of the next race. 1t was a one-mile
event for beaten horses. Bessie Bisland
ruled favorite. The race was an exciting
one between Sulross and Marguerite and
when the horses passed under the WIRE
Sulross had apparently won. Up went the
numbers on the board. and they indicated
Marguerite as the winner The crowd could
not understand 1t, and the judges were
hiSSp6 W. O I'd LOT mad hat
Sulross had fouled Marguerite and had been
disqualified. Shadow was second, but the
judges made a palpable error in placing
Bessie Bisand third, as Tommy Dixon was
entitled to the place. The last race was
selling race, with the distance six furlongs.
Addie was a strong favorite, and Capt.
Brown next in demand. The winner turned
up In Milt Young. Is to / shot: Addie
second and Capt. Brown third.
