A Light Attendance ON Account OF the Rain,
but Good Sport.
The rain Of yesterday again interfered with
the attendance at the Benning track, not over
1000 people being present. The card was a
good one. the stake event Of the afternoon being
the Deanwood stakes, for three-year-olds, at
one mile. But five started, and W. D. Jennings
Marshall. at to S, won rather easily. Mime
haha led under pull until the stretch was
reached at funeral pace, and there the chok-
ing she had received prevented her from doing
better than second. The time, L4s1s, indi-
Gated better than anything else the greatness OF
the contestants.
In the first race, for maidens, there was de-
lay Of forty-fve minutes at the post, waste of
time over a lot Of dogs that caused no end OF
complaint its effect being to put race-goers in
the city at least an hour later than they should
have been. Three o'clock is rather late to
start the first race, and if it was called half an
hour earlier the change would be greatly ap-
preciated.
