JENNINGS OPENING DAY
LARGE ATTENDANCE AND 4 NUMBER
OF INTERESTING RACES.
Bettors Were Generally Happy. as
Four Favorftes Came in First
in Six Events.

Fine weather, very large attendance
| and well-t1lied card were the features Of
/ the opening of the fall meeting Of the
Washington Jockey Club at the Bennng
| race course Saturday afternoon. and as
favorites were successful in four of the six
events the public had still another reason
for leaving for home in a pleasant state Of
mind The track was in fine shape Kin
nikinic equaling the track record, 1.29, in
the stake race at seven furlongs, while Nc
Addie, in the opening race, at six furlongs
came within half a second of the track
record for that distance, running it in lib
The improvements made on the grounds and
buildings heretofore noted were highly COM
mended and added greatly not only to the
attractiveness of the course, but also to the
comfort of the race-going public. In addi-
ton to the throng of regulars the attend
ance included people prominent in To-
cal, official and social circles, many ladies
being present on the grand stand and in the
club house.
Outside of the jumping race, steeple
chase at two and half miles, the various
events furnished excellent sport. In the
steepiechase but two started, Gov. Budd
at l to 4, and Facile at to l. Facile fell
after going about a mile, but was remount-
ed and ridden out for second money. Judg-
ing from the way in which she ran, 1t Is
doubtful If she could have been beaten had
she not fallen. McAddie, a 2 to 5 favorite.
won the first race easily, and In the second
Chaos, at 5 to !, got a flying start and beat
the to l favorite, Sentry, a length. Kin
nikinic and James were about equal in the
betting in the fourth race, stake event,
and the old horse beat the three-year-old
by nearly a length. the weight stopping the
latter Little Daisy. the l to favorlte,
captured the fifth race and Speedmas,
owned by a prominent local business man,
lasted long enough to take the last race,
the odds on her being 20 to l.
