Benning track yesterday the fifteenth day
of the autumn meeting of the Washington
Jockey Club. one of them being steeple-
chase at 21a miles. Two of those on the
fiat went to Mcintyre and the other two to
O'Leary, the best that OConnor could do
being to land Golden Link next to the win
ner of the last race, st. Simonian. Starter
Cassidy resumed his duties, but gave the
poorest exhibition of the meeting, leaving
Tobouret at the post In the first race and
practically leaving All Cold in the fourth.
Two favorites, two second choices and an
outsider won brackets. and the reduced
number of pencilers had a shade the better
of the public.
