Army and Navy stakes Draw "a Distin.
gmIshed PnrtY-A Jnckex Hunt

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The seventh
day at the Bennings track was a pro-
Houhced SUGGEST The weather conditions
were Ialf, the air was fine, the track in
excellent condition, and the attendance
very gratifying, not only in the marked
superiority OF numbers, but in view OF
the fact that the ending OF the first week
proved the actual opening of a special and
fashionable epoch Of the legitimate rae
ing season under the auspices OF the
Jockey Club.
Among the prominent members Of Wash
ington society who graced the occasion
to-day were Secretary OF the Navy Hir-
bert, with Miss Herbert and several other
ladies', and good representation OF army
ana navy officers, who came partly In
honor OF the event OF the day-the Army
ana Navy stakes. Hon. Thomas Il. Reed
reiinquished for the day the burdens OF
the Speakers chair, and was out TO see
the flights OF the speeders. while the per-
sonnet Of others prominent in Social and
oiilclal circles gave assurances OF the in
creasins interest felt IN the occasion.
Mr.. August Belmont was also at the
track to-day, and in conference with the
club managers.
In the first race an unlucky tumble hurt
McCaherty' who was riding Kennel the
faNorite, and who, when about three
sixteenths OF a mile from home siding on
the outside, crossed his legs and fell with
the riders head and shoulders under him.
There was a general exclamation OF hor-
ror, but after lying some seconds beneath
his horse, the mucky rider was picked
up. Ii was found that he had suffered
some bad cuts and bruises on the leg
and face, but was not internally injured
and Is in no danger.
The next week will open conspicuously.
The gallant Henry OF Navarro will be
on exhibition on the track Monday. and
will probably be given a short gallop.

RO4NoKE AND NORFOLK.
The Mountaineers Play Brilliant
Game.

bdIhGs
ROANOKE, VA, April Especial
The MOuntaineers played brilliant game
this afternoon, the only errors IN Il
twelve-inning game being the mun Of a
difficult fly by Grove which cost a run,
and the failure Of Gochnaur 10 field a
grounder. Coons was knocked out Of the
box in the second and after three singles
and double had scored two runs without
nobody out, Chesbro retired the side IN
one, two, three order.
In the third he was touched for home
run, a double. and a triple, and two
more runs. After this he was invincible,
though the visitors had several good
chances to pile up runs.
A base on balls and a double in the
fifth. and the muff OF fly by Grove and
a hit by Mcfarland in the seventh scored
the last runs.
In the tenth Armstrong got TO first on
Gochnaur's error. to be caught trying TO
steal second. The triple by Turner
though only one man was out, failed 10
increase the runs.
In the twelfth Turner and Langford
made hits after two men were out, and
the business was settled when Wentz
struck out.
Three hits, an error, and a base on
balls netted the locals four runs in the
first, and In the eighth three doubles and
single brought I'm two more. Chesbr0
being called out at the home plate, though
he was clearly safe
In the twelfth. after n safe hit by
Pop" Tate, Wrigley knocked a fair ball
over the left-feld fence. near the foul
line. and though IL was clearly home
run Wood called It foul. Tate scored,
however, after Wrigley went out on
fly. by the safe hit Of Henry Tate.
The features Of the game were several
sensational stops by Wreley and Goch
naur and long running catches by Grove
and Tate. After the visitors Armstrong
and Mcfarland bore off the honors in the
field, and though Wentz had three errors
charged TO his account. he made several
fine plays
The score:
