From the present ouShola Washington
| lovers of the sport OF kines-horse racing
viii once more be treated Il, Il legitimate
| race meeting.
1t is now almost an assured fact that
| the Washington Jockey Club will hold a
| meeting next spring at the Bennings race
track under the supervision of the Jockey
| Club. Plans looking la this end have been
rapidly shaping themselves o { late and have
| at last assumed a tangible shape.
Since August Belmont purchased n con-
trolling interest in the club there have
been several rumors of pr'pesed meetings
at this track. At iirst IL was reported that
session would he heltis disfing the past
fall but this never came 10 anything and
the matter dropped from tile public no.
tice. Now ii has once more been brought
up, and at the annual meeting of the
Stockholders of the club. which Will be
held on Tuesday, December 10, the general
details OF the matter viii be arranged.
BELMONT WELL REPRESENTED.
Ben" HELEN and s. s. Rowland will look
after the Belmont interests at the meeting
and will doubtless make a proposal to hold
the meeting sometime about the middle
of next April. The meeting will in all Drnba-
billty run for twelve ur. fourteen da Vs.
but may possibly be continued for a fun
month.
Plans are already being made for ex-
itHsiNt OH tHt RruntiStand
and betting ring. Supi. German. Of Nor
rls Park. has been in town looking over
the situation and has in view several
changes. He prom oumced the track as
probably the best mile circular course In
the country. but is not at all satisfied
with the buildings, and win enlarge the
graDdstand, building II w,di M the stretch.
The bet ing ring VIII also be shifted, and
VIII probably lie placed onIhe spot " here
the paddock now stands.
As-to the track itself, it is not probable
that it Will be touched at all, although
there is a chance that it may be wIdrned
10 some extent. As yet DO work has been
done on the place. but If the weather re-
mains open the chances are that a force
OF workncn will he set 10 work AT once
10 shape things UP according to Supt.
GorTuan's plans
BOUND TO BE SUCCESSFUL
There Is no doubt whatever that the meet
ing VIII be success as the Bcnnlngs track
gained for itself II reputation for high
class sport, while under the management
OF those who had il in. charge before the
law prohibiting betting at the track was
passed. that was second To none in the
country. Solid. honorable business nlen
have alwars had the controlling power and
as the place was not run as "A mere InUney-
making scheme, such as the oGtia wed tracks
in Virginia, the character of the cling
was always kept clean.
The Washington people are heartily tired
OF the catch penny games across the river
of the beautiful course at BrnninEs. 1t
IS hoped during the present session OF
Congress tO obtain favorable legislation
allowing the place to run with the booiS
days in each year. This failing the meet
ing viii be Ecld with betting under the
system in vogue during the season Just
closed in Ne " York.

The SOCIAL REFORM.

We cannot, must not, ignore vice and
think that it will cure itself. 1t is not a
self-limited disease ''Gangren is not
good escharotic" Many forms of dis
orders affecting the body polite become
chronic and are difficult to handle. There
can be no question, however, as 10 the
ability of DR.. r. A. Walker TO cure chronic
diseases afflicting the individual His
record 1n this regard is without parallel.
THIS Is ONE.
DR.. Walker has hundreds of statements
from former patients, who have been
cured of nervous debility. Among others
is that of Mr.. j. B. Gation, resri.ut or
Congress Heights, who has been an en-
ploye Of the st. EFiztffieth Insane Asylum
for the past year, makes sworn statement
before Henry Stewart jr., notary public,
that he suffered for three years from ner-
vous debility; his entire nervous system
was unStruug, aud he felt constantly blue
and wretched; his memqry was rapidly fall-
ing, he would wake more tired than when
he went to bed M9nydoctors failed tohelp
him, but Dr. Walker cured him.
No less remarkable than the above are
hundreds of similar statements that can be
shown to callers, illustrating the unprcce-
dented success of Dr. walker In the treat
ment of all disorders of the brain and ner-
vous system, diseases OF the skin and blood,
catarrh, asthma, consumption, dyspepsia,
malaria, rheumatism, neuralgia, hemor-
rhoids, diseases of women, loss of vitality
and all affections of the lungs, throat,
heart, liver, stomach, kidneys, bladder,
bowels, and other organs.
Dr. Walker may be consulted free OF
charge, personally or by letter. hls wen
known sanitarium at 1411 Pennsylvania
avenue, adjoining Wizards Hotel, is open
daily for consultation and treatment. or
flee hours, 10 a m. to p. M; Wednesday
aud Saturday evenings, z to 8; Sundays,
10 to 12.
Names never published without owners
consent.
Charges for treatment very low.
