! Yesterdays races over the Benning
course brought another hard shock TO the
turf talent. Again, as on the previous
day, the knowing ones succeeded in land
| ing but one winner in five events, and
this, after many members of the contin-
gent had wasted their capital on Lady
Lindsey, a l-to-2 choice in the first race.
| The weather at noon was fairly promis-
ing and a good crowd of spectators and
| spectators, numbering fully 1000 per-
sons, We're on hand As on former days,
| there was lusty array of bookmakers
doing business. but after the first race,
| which fairly dszed the choice-takers,
| there was not the activity shown that
would doubtless have followed had Lady
| Lindsey made good the confidence impos-
| ed in her.
| Again Starter Mars Cassidy called
out many words of compliment Turfmen
on all sides admit that his work with the
| flag. many times trying and difficult, is
| of very high order. Yesterday ne per-
mitted no tagging, quibbling. He sent
| the fields away with aiacrity and justly,
| and before o'clock had the crowd home
ward bound.
| The only trouble of the day occurred
| during the fourth race. Maher, on Com
| pensation, come home with an easy lead
of a length from Strongest, ridden by
Clawson; Leando, third but on dismount-
! ing, Clawson complained that Maher had
| fouled him in a way that could not be
overlooked, coming into the stretch, and
| McCue who rode Leando, also made a
vigorous kick, declaring that Danny had
: given him, too, a long way the worst
of it, Certain ii is that there was much
|
as they rounded for the run home, and
the judges taking the testimony Of Claw
son and McCue, which Maher did not dis
pute with vigor, prompted by righteous
ness, disqualified Compensation and gave
the race to Strongest, placing Leando
second and Tyrshena third.
Six horses went TO the post for the first
race They were Duoro, Death, Lady
| Lindsay, General Mart Gary, Passaic and
Exception. Lady Lindsay, with Clawson
| up. was made TO favorite. Gary,
| O'Leary, was next best liked at to 8.
| Exception sold at 20 and for the place.
| Duoro and Passaic brought 100, and
| Death 200. Lady Lindsay went TO the
! front with rush and lead the way
around the turn to the stretch Duoro
| hanging close by. Coming into the
| straight Gary came fast, and, col
| laring the favorite, who had shaken
Duore off, raced her home. Clawson ply
| ing the whip at every stride, put fruit
| lessly, Gary winning out by length,
| Exception third, two lengths behind Lady
! Lindsay The distance of the race was
| six and a half furlongs. The time was
| 1:2l 2-5 which, according TO the card,
| was one-tenth of a second faster than
| 1t was ever before run over the Benning
| course. The best previous record was
| made by Lyceum, III 1892, when with 1d5
pounds that horse ran ii in 1:2l L. Gary
/ carried the same weight yesterday.
| There were fifteen entries for the second
| race, two-year-olds, non-winners of $500,
eleven facing the starter. Meehanus, with
| Maher up, attracted the bettors and he
was made a to 10 favorite. Roysterer
| and Tyran shared the good opinion of the
knowing ones for second place, each
bringing and to for the place. VII
| lage Pride brought 10 and 4. The others
ranged from 20 to 100 That the talent
! had this event pat was shown by the
result. But it was their only consola-
1 ton for the day. Maher took Meehanus
| to the front at the start and kept him
there; Roysterer, Clawson up, second:
| Tyran third. Village Pride finished
fourth. The time was 1:03 1-5.

| two pounds overweight, and Maher up
was fayorite at I to 8. Judge Wardel
brought the next best price, 8; Little Land
and Fleeting Gold, each, and Tabouret
| Z. After two or three false breaks they
were sent away, Judge Wardell, with
Clawson up. quickly taking the lead, the
| favorite struggling along in the bunch
| two lengths behind. Going around the
| turn Wardell eased little and allowed
the others to come up. but when squared
| away for the run home though hard
| pushed by Tabouret, he ran steady
| strong race, winning by a good length,
| Tabouret second and Protus, at 100 to /
| and 30 for the place, finishing third
