Another Coup by Beard at Benning
Track Yesterday.
BEGGAR LADY TURNED THE TRICK
New Cup Defender to Be Built in
Boston by Financier Lawson.
FRAUDS PROBED

Yesterdays miserable weather for out
door sports kept the attendance at the
Benning track down to small numbers
Close observers of the patrons would have
quickly noticed that the attendance was
made up for the most part of regulars, very
few ladies Drawing the raw weather. While
the attendance was small the bookmakers
had little to complain of in the way of
business. as the betting was exceptionally
BRISK. The favorites in the betting once
mere made good showing three of them
coming in first in the six races. The track
was a sea of mud but it is constructed so
substantially that the going was fairly good
under the circumstances.
Frank d. Beard and his confederates
made another OF their sensational hauls on
Beggar Lady in the second race which
was for maiden FLIES two years old She
was entered in the name of r. Woodward,
who is said to be friend of Beard and
is trained in his stable. 1t was Boards
money that was responsible for a cut in her
price from 80 to to to /. This was. of
course, only the track commission, and
there is no telling what the pool rooms
We're asked to handle
Her merit was not overestimated, for
after leaving the post the twelfth in
field of thirteen she worked her way to the
front and won running off at the end or,
as one of the railbirds put it, She
just trifle of about forty pounds the best
of the field" Protege was second and
Dactyl third.
The three favOrites that won, pushed their
noses to the front in the first. fourth and
sixth races Scratches brought the number
OF contestants in the first race down to
four. and Carbuncle selected to carry
the money. He made good, winning out
by half length from Godfrey. But four
horses also started in the fourth race, and
Sadie s. had only The Rhymer to beat
She did this rs of
and landed the money for the talent. In
the closing event Magic Light was chosen
to finish first, and he proved to be the
right selection. DraughtsmaH started off
to make a runaway race of it. but after
leading by many laps began to come back
when the mile post had been reached.
From there to the finish Magic Light began
to creep up. and when he crossed the line
was something like five lengths to the
good. Draugntsman was fully twelve
lengths ahead Of BOSDhorOus. with Sir Dick
away back and Silver Fox just coming INTO
view. 1t procession of the spread
eagie sort.
George Buffers I Know was SO full OF
ginger in the second race that ne ran away
twice, making the circuit of the track both
times before being stopped. He finished
last, of course.
