Good Events Run-TOday's Card.
With early morning elements that
threatened outdoor enjoyment the sun
cleaned through the clouds at noon, and
induced a good attendance at the races
over the Benning course yesterday.
There were many more people present
than on Saturday, decided increase in
the number of ladies being noticeable, but
the promise of pleasant weather was not
fulfilled. The atmosphere was damp and
chilly, and after the third race many left
the track, a majority of the ladies being
among the departures. AT the opening
there were probably $500 people present
The sport was not of an extraordinary
kind. though interesting throughout, good
fields for most of the contests and close
finishes being the order. Though the
track record for a mile and sixty yards
was broken. the feat was not regarded
as phenomenal one-at least il created
but little comment. The best previous
performance was that of Requital a year
ago, when, with lis pounds up, he covered
the distance in las 1-5. Yesterday, with
1G2 pounds the Milltown Stables good
| horse Kinnikinic, four years old. the same
| in years as Requital when he made his
track mark, ran the distance in l:41 1-5,
eciipsing Requitals race an even second.
Dony Maher was again the favorite
| jockey. He had four mounts, landed two
! winners and rode good second. One of
| his firsts was on Red Spider a siX-to-one
shot. The other was Kinnikinic, ia
wi =
| in the first race, he could do no better
than get home fifth. Clawson had six
| mounts, and rode two winners-Lady
Lindsay, a decided favorite, and Royster-
er, also a favorite.
The track was again deep and forbid
fast work, except in the case of Kin
nikinic, who seemed to like II. AS for
the starting-it was again of an excellent
quality. In only two races, the first and
second. each of which had eleven horses
face the flag, was there any vexing de-
lay and both fields were sent off after
four false breaks.
The only unpleasant occurrence of the
day was when Mt Washington went
down just after passing the half mile
post in the mile race He sent Cunning
ham under the fence like shot and fell
like a butchered OK himself, and lay for
minute as though he had gone the road
of all flesh, but finally he rounded to, re-
gained his feet and was led away appar-
emily none the worse off for his mishap.
Cunningham, too, did not show life for
moment but he finally came around all
right, and will be ready for work today
The first event was at five and half
furlongs for 1895 non-winners of all ages.
| There were thirteen entries, eleven of
which went TO the post. Maud Ellis, with
| 10i pounds and Maher up, was the choice
of the talent, at odds of II to 5. Duoro
brought 4 TO /, and Ianlon had numer
Gus supporters at to /. The others rang
| ed in the betting from u to ! to 60 to l.
| The field, after four false efforts, got
away well together, Philac being the on
| ly laggard. He was fully four lengths be-
| hind before he got TO going. Maher kept
Maud Ellis well up with the bunch as
| they went into the first turn. Around the
turn, into the stretch, Tinker and Han
| lon led the way, and between this pair lay
the race to the wire. Hanlon beating
| Tinker out by a nose, while DogtoWn got
the place Maher finishing fifth with the
| favorite. Dogtown paid to / for the
place. Time, Ill 1-5
| The second was another five-and-a-haf
| furlong event. Again there were thirteen
entries and eleven starters. There were
! twenty-six entries originally in the first
event 1t was divided and two races made
| of it so that the conditions that con-
,
race Tappan, with 112 pounds and Cum
ningham up. was to favorite, New
berger brought 4 to /. the next best price,
| while Queen of Beauty sold at to !.
There was considerable maneuvering be-
fore the field got the word. When it was
given Maher shot to the front with Red
Spider, and for a time it appeared as
though ne would make a runaway race
of it. Coming into the stretch. 'Tappan
| nd though
would make the Spider run hard race If
he won,- but he weakened perceptibly. and
Sagacity forced the going, Red Spider
beating the filly out a short half-length
and Newberger taking third money. Tap
pan finished fifth. Red Spider paid for
l. Time, ITO 1-5.
LADY Lindsey. Maize O., Exception, Lepi-
da. and Frances Booker faced the start
er for the third, six-furlong race, for
2-year-old fillies, non-winners of $3.50 La
dy Lindsey. with Clawson up, was made
a top-heavy favorite. and won the race
as she pleased, Exception getting sec
ond and Frances Booker third money
Time, lis.
The fourth was a selling race of one
mile for 3-year-olds and upward. Again
there were eleven starters. The bettors
made Maurice, at to 5, the favorite. At
lantus brought 4, Doggett Z, and Niger
Baby to l. The others ranged from lO to
100 to l. The second effort saw them off.
Her Own rushed to the lead. Maurice
was in the ruck three lengths back.
Without noticeable change the lot passed
the quarter, the half, the three-quarters,
and into the straight path home Here
Maurice began to close on the Daily mare.
At one hundred yards from the wire he
was on even terms and easily beat her
home by length, Niger Baby finishing
third. his supporters getting to ! for
place money. Her Own sold at 20 to to
win. and to l for the place. The time
was LAG 2-5.
Five horses went to the post for the
fifth race. selling, for two-year- -olds, non-
