CIose-This Afternoons selections.

Jockey Club attracted a great crowd to
the Benning track yesterday afternoon.
Fair weather prevailed and the course
was in splendid condition, the time for
equal distances being much faster than that
made on Saturday. Generous odds were
gwen by the boOkmakers in all OF the
races and the finishes were close and eX-
citing.
The one ugly feature of the day was the
questionable handing of Miss Hanover by
Jockey Jenkins in the second race. But for
a strange move in holding back the mare
at the turn she would have won handlly.
The mare was heavily backed, and large
amount of money changed hands on the
final result.
The following horses were scratched dur
ing the day Princess India in the first
race Difidence, Decimal, and Jugglery, in
the second; Matanza Strangest, Weller,
and Our Nellie, in the third.
Eighteen horses were entered in the first
event They got off at the second break
with a good start, and Langdon slightly
in the lead. Coming around the back
stretch Aratom8 forged ahead, closely
pressed by Uncle Louis The latter, admir-
ably ridden by II. Lewis, went to the front
and won cleyeTly, with Aratoma second
and Tyrba a good third. The rest were bad

Only four starters lined up at the post
in the second race The flag dropped on
a fair start, with Cupidity slightly in the
lead and Fleuron close up. They ran TINS
way into the stretch, when F'leuron, well
ridden by O'Connor, took the lead and won
a good race by a half length. Elsie SKIP
was bad third. Whatever chances Miss
Hanover had were simply ruined by the
riding Of Jenkins, who made no effort 10
get off with the mare but took her 10
extreme outside, where It was impossible
for her TO win. 1t was an ugly looking
ride, and after being weighed out, jenkins
was called into the judge stand and asked
for an explanation. 1t is not known what
the excuse was but the immediate action
of the Judges was TO decline all entries of
the owner. T. b. Alexander, during this
meeting II was said that the speedy
mare was lame, but she showed no signs
OF this going to the post. Jenkins was
permitted to ride in two other events dur
ing the day. The result:
Second race-For two year old fllies; six
furlongs. Fleuron (O'Connorl, to /, IL
