II fayorites keep on winning at Bennins

meeting opened, the close-down VIII Drins
general mourning, for the public, with few
except ons, are Increasing their bank
rolls on every race. Yesterday three
fayorites and two heavily played second
choices, scored winning brackets, and the
wall that went up from the line when the
last race had been run was long and
loud one.
Some of the plungers found the day
unusually profitable, Pittsburg Phils mem
orandum showing he had won on four
Of his five investments. His commission
on Premier was a tremendous one, and
it more than took away the profits brought
the layers by the defeat of Harrington.
The days racing was unusually inter
esting and a crowd OF generous proper
tons Were on hand to enjoy it. The
shower which blew up while the horses
We're at the post for the third race drove
the occupants OF the grand stand in the
rear seats, but it soon cleared again, and
the closing event found everyone back
in their old places
FIRST RACE A SURPRISE.
The day began with a surprise, Mar
shall being compelled to lower his colOrs
10 Declare, who, on Tuesday, he had
beaten easily. At first glance the rcver-
sal OF form looks too startling to be true,
but anyone who watched the race carefully
could readily solve the problem for the
soreness which Declare sho wed on Tuesday
was missing and it was, OF course, bound
to help his chances. There was strong
play on Find Out and for a time he made
a bid worthy OF this support, but in the
final drive he failed To stay and third
money was his share of the purse.
Purse Proud closed favorite for the sec
ond race, but so well played We're the

against him. Hamilton was on him, and
he rede an excellent race. He kept him
well placed for the first half Of the jour
ney, then moved up, and in well-timed
rush landed him first AT the finish.
Junk, newcomer beat tDiaDa'sDaughter
head for the place The Alien and Kin
varra, both of whom were heavily played
were beaten off. The latter is a fine-lo"k-
| ing colt, and as his work has been promIs-
ing il m ay be his showing was not his trle
form. He ran very green.
Billy Dunohue and his friends were very
| sweet On Harrington's chances for the
| third race, and they found many excellent
| judges that agreed with them, the odds
| showing a decline from 8 to 5 to 4 to 8.
He ran u good race, but not quite good
| enough to win, for when the finish was
| reached Premier, Sloane up, was two
! lengths in front Of him. The price against

MISS PRIM A GOOD ONE.
| Miss Prim was first home in the fourth
| race, which was I handicap at six furlongs
| for two year-olds Her victory stamps her
| a f1lly OF no mean merit, for she did not
| get away any too well, yet at the finish
| LittlefIeld had her under 4 nice pull. Sue
| cessful, who was fun OF run. was second.
| As To the third horse, the official placing
| was Naughty Girl, but nearly everyone
| near the finishing line believed Arabian
| was entitled To the position.
| The Swain rated first choice for the
| closing event, but he was only one of half

| cut loose. When it came to racing, how
| ever. he had things all his own way, max

| was closing fast, and he will he n hard
horse to beat the next time he starts.
