The fine weather of yesterday had the
! tendency TO bring out tile largest crowd or
| the week to the Benning track, among
| them being a large number OF the fair sex
/ who helped 20 give the grand stand ana
| club house a most attractive appearance
| The card offered. although small in the
| way of field, was good in quality and the
| persons who made tile trip TO the track
were rewarded by their journey, as they
Witnessed some excellent sport.
The only tning TO mar the days sport was
| the unfortunate acciuen which befeii owner
| trainer anu Jockey, Jonn McCalIeity. ne
| hal the mount Oh Kennel, VINO was Il not
fayoriJe for the opening event. When com
| ing through the strttcn naIf way beUweentHe
! three Xteen tbs anu last rurionG pole,
| Kennel was beaten and McCafierty was
! auodJ To 20 10 The wnip when tine morse
! crossed his legs and fell, McCafferty being
| unuerncatn.
CARRIED TO A HOSPITAL.
| The horse made no effort TO get up and
| McCafferty, who had been stunned by the
| fall, remained underneath until the crowd
rushed to his assistance, and pulled the
| horse up. McCaffsrUy was taken into the
| starters wagon, with his face ana head
badly bruised, and taken To his stables. IL
was at first Thought that be was not In
jured beyond sight shaking up and the
| bruises THAT he had received about the
head and face.
Later in the day his condition became
serious and lie was taken To the Emergency
Hospital in this city. The doctor VINO was
attending McCafrerty at the track sand that
The true nature OF AitCafertys injuries
could not be known until late today. He
was removed To tie Providence Hospital.
The feature OF the days racing was the
A rniy and Navy handicap for three-year-nds
and upward at mile. Hawarden was Tie
favoriie and was heavily played To capture
the event. He suCcee0eo In Iandlns the
money after a desperate drive from Inter
mission, with Hanwell good third. Tie
latter swerved very badly i'll tile closing
furlong, and but for this would have won
the race.
THE SAGE RAN WELL.
Despite the poor showing made by the
Sage at his last race, he ran very close
race for first choice in the opening race.
AT the finish he could not come within
sIricking distance OF the winner ana WIN
Elliott won easily.
Tie three-yeaF-Old event promised good
contest, but when ii came tu racing RuSsier,
from the Morris string, rushed to the rIont
and stayeu there TO the end, winning pulled
to walk from Lizzie B. III.
The Army ana Navy Haudicap, OF course,
came next OIL the program, and When Jen-
Mugs horse. Hawarden, came in first the
visitors in the grand stand nearly went
wild with delight.
The fourth race was good betting
affair. Prig, who has Just come from
New orleans, was played TO win the event
from 6 to down to TO o.
MADE A STRONG BID.
He made bold bid fof the money but
the best he could do at the finish was
! third, both Mirage and Factotum beating
him oEt.
Kilkenny was withdrawn from the fifth
race, which was steeplechase, leaving IL
walkover for May Blossom, who was the
| only other entry. Another steeplechaSe
| was made up ana it had May Blossom and
HpllaS as starters.
The former was hot favorite at to
| B, and sne never gave her baCkcrsa a chance
to be uneasy as she was in front from
START to IinISH an a5 the end was an easy
| winner by six lengths. This made two
races that she was the winner Of
Hellas' race was the first that he ever
| run over the stick and he ran goodrace.
