The Bennings meeting, from all &C
counts, opened very successfully. The
fields were very heavy in the several
events. and Starter Mccain had so
much trouble in getting them away that

dark to run the steeplechase and that
event was declared off. Thu races were
very interesting. n twenty-one book
makers attended to the want Of a large
