BENNING RACES.
Intrusive a PrOhibftive FavOvifa In
the District Special


the District Special
What looked to be the feature Of the
days card at the Benning track Saturday,
the District Special an old-fashioned
heat race at seven furlongs, was made a
one-horse event by reason Of the very lib
eral use Of the blue pencil Intrusive, Death
and Godfrey being the only starters out of
an entry of ten. Intrusive was made a
prohibitive favorite and won easily, in
straight heats, Death being in the second
in the deciding heat, and therefore, in the
race. In the last race, handicap at seven
furlongs. Speedmas was given first place.
although to many people it seemed as If
Carbunele. the to favorite, had won
Charentus was third. A claim of foul by
Carbuncle's jockey, McCue, was disaliow-
ed. In the steeplechase, a close finish be-
tween the favorite. Gov. Budd, and the Is
to 1 outsider, Claroba, resulted in a head
victory for the favorite. Had Barry, on
Claroba, delayed his run a little later in the
race it Is probable he would have won. 1t
was a nose finish in the first race for
Charawind, and the second was rather
easily won by Col Ballentine.
