The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-11-19

Taking advantage OF the delightful
weather yesterday afternoon a large
crowd visited the Benning track, which.
IN consequence. took on an appearance
nearly as bright and busy as the opening
day. The visitors all seemed anxious to
get look at the crack animals who have
made their names familiar and their own
ers rich during the season which will be
brought to close when the present meet
ing closes on December s.
A number of the horses were given
props for events to come. Among the
number was Imp. She is not nearly SO
high in flesh as when seen here at the
meeting last spring. and shows signs of
hard seasons campaigning, but for all
of that she will doubtless be heard from
before the meeting closes. Warrenton,
Brisk, James, Decanter, Gen. Mart Gary,
Asquith, Oneck Queen, Dread. Alsike,
kirkwood, The Puritan, Rinaldo. 1sia,
Knight of the Garter, and number Of
others were all given work outs.
Nearly every animal now Quartered at
the track is fit and ready for the hardest
kind of a race. The meeting will close
the racing season in the East, and every
owner will try to clear up good lunch
of the money before the meeting closes.
Consequently every race will be to win.
and high grade sport may be looked for.
A big contingent of New York racing
men are expected to arrive from Gotham
this morning, together with number of
the regulars who were absent from the
pavilion on Saturday. The Washington
Jockey Club is to be congratulated on the
suspicious opening of the meeting Every
thing possible to render the meeting
success has been done by the officials, and
judging from the generous attendance on
Saturday their efforts are appreciated.
Todays card is good one. Each event
will bring fairly large fields before the
starter. With pleasant weather an en-
joyable days sport is a surety.
