Another Big Day for Favorites at the
Benning Track Yesterday.
-FOUR OUT OF SIX THE DAYS RECORD
Trouble Between Jockey Club and
p-E
Turf Congress to Be Patched Up.
IN GEN ER A L

The meeting of the Washington Jockey
Club last spring was. among other things,
remarkable for the number of winning ia
vorites. The present meeting Of the club, if
the success of favorites continue, will be
even more remarkable in that respect than
that of last spring. Yesterday was the
ninth day of the meeting, and for the sixth
time favorites We're successful in four of
the six races on the card. No better evil
dence, it is contended by patrons of the
SPORT could be had of the honesty of the
racing. While the air was rather raw at
the track, another very large crowd was
in attendance, and as speculation was very
heavy once again the layers were hard hit.
Kinnikinic, the 2 to 1 favorite picked up 126
pounds in the first race, and finished a
neck in front of Huitzilopochtli, Death six
lengths back. The second race went to an
outsider. The Rogue, at 10 to l. he beat
ing Zenoide length and a half. Obliged,
the to favorte. third. Aisquith, the
even-money favorite, looked hopelessly
beaten in the third race but came with d
wonderful burst of speed in the stretch,
beating Borough length, he a neck in
front Of Maribet. Orienta, the 10 to out
slider, was the good thing in the fourth,
leading all the way, and beating Sadie s.,
the to favor!te, a length, Blueskin third.
A favorite, ,Oneck Queen at to 2. won the
Evelyn Bird third. Miss Hanover. the even
money favorite. took the sixth from Oreal,
also at even money by about length, the
100 to 1 shot, Decimal, third.
In view Of the threat of the New Orleans
Jockey Club to refuse entrance to horses
racing here after December 1, many of the
horsemen at the Benning track wish the
local meeting continued until Christmas.
President Rowland. it is understood. does
not care to ask further concession from the
Jockey Club. and it is probable that the
horsemen will petition the organization for
a license to continue the Benning meeting
until Christmas. 1t is not believed, how
ever, that the Jockey Club will permit rae
ing here after December g.
Jockey T. Walsh was fined $50 yesterday
for misbehavior at the post.
