OWNERS HANDICAP RUN.
Base Ball Opening Somewhat Hurt
the Attendnnce at Benning.

The opening of the local base ball season
somewhat decreased the attendance at the
Benning track yesterday, the seventh day
of the third spring meeting of the Wash
ington Jockey Club The card was a large
one, and the racing was about the best of
the meeting. Two favorites, Lucid and Her
Own, finished in front, the other races be-
ing taken by an outsider a second and
third choice. The speculation was quite
active, and it, was about even break be-
tween the public and layers. Tabouret
showed a marked improvement in form,
and the stewards inquired into 1t. Dalyi
Lepida was first in the race for maiden
two-year-old FLIES, and on the strength of
her race Saturday was played to a very
large extent. The fourth race resulted in a
great finish, Her Own beating Wordsworth
head, he a nose in front of Passover.
Doggett in the last race would not try
little bit. and was next to last all the way.
The barriers were used for the first time
during the meeting, and the starts were
made much more promptly, greatly to the
satisfaction of the crowd.

Record Of the Clubs,


Little Miss Elsie Brown, Captain Browns
daughter, threw the first ball into the dia-
mond as start-off for the season of 1898.
Jack Doyle was given great send-of by
the Washington fans when he came TO
the bat in the second inning. The cheering
started as he walked toward the plate,
and. as one of the park attaches approach
ed with magnificent horseshoe of roses.
the applause was redoubled. Jack tipped
his hat several times and then flew out
to right.
Reliable Jim McGuire's drive to center
was beatty, but he married its good eff
feet by being caught off of third and run
down. Jim is rather heavy to pull off such
play as was started. the idea being to
score from third on the throw down to
second; but desperate chance was neces-
sary and 1t failed-the luck Of base ball

The Washingtons and Baltimores have

test being shifted to the oyster city. Din

while Hoffer or Nops will be on the rubber

With the Senators regular infeld in po-
sltion the Orioles would have scored about
three runs in yesterdays game, but would
have won. nevertheless. on account of the

ties. AS the late lamented Charley Byrne
would say, Waltz The Senators have
started the season badly handicapped, but
will soon be in condition, and then look
out. The admirers of this seasons aggre-
cation should not be discouraged over tw o
defeats under present circumstances.
Umpires Snyder and Curry officiated at
New York yesterday notwithstanding the
edict of Magnate Freedman that the for
mer would not be allowed to enter the
grounds. Captain Joyce has placed him
self on record as being opposed to the new
rules, and it is claimed he will have to be
put out of the game for a week or more
TO bring him into line. How different We're

day. They were winners from the start
and every decision made was all right
Mr.. Joyce was lucky that Mr.. Lynch did
not umpire Saturdays game. as about

WHAT is A

Briefly, it is one that can be quick
ly removed from the rim and opened,
and therein it differs radically from
the cheaper forms OF tires that are
Cemented to the rim and cannot be
opened. The advantages OF a tire
that can be quickly taken apart in
the event of a puncture in order to
find the SOURCE OF the trouble
are manifest.
The Dunlop Detachable Tire is

erect a largeIce plant heredur-

in for the express purpose Of
making refrigerator ice, and not
for domestic use. as the ice made
by this company from the Ty-
CART Valley river water can not
be excelled in the country for
purity. The company claims that
the river water hereis not ct for
ice making, and they win drill

Plans for the new plant are now

will compel quick response at all

exciting Incidents crowd one an

sometimes obscure the dialogue,
but increase the enthusiasm Of
