A SLAUGHTER
OF THE FAV0RITES.
RANK OUTSIDER WINS HANDICAP HANDICAP
BenninE oniciaIs suspend IA Jockey
for an Incompetent Ride
Rose of Mays Good Race
Under Had Conditions.

One of the best cards of the meeting
was run of at Benning yesterday, and was
mainly remarkable for the slaughter OF the
favorites. the suspension OF a jockey for
an incompetent ride, and the winning of
the handicap by an unlooked-for out
slider.
| The first race on the programme was for
all ages, non-winners in 1901, and brought
together a very ordinary lot Eighteen

a good one from start to finish, the winner

looked like a very bad ride. Shea, who
rode the filly, was CT ;eI to account by the
! judges, aId set down fer three days for an
incompetent ride. The boy while not much

tunate that he was treated so leniently by
the judges.
One Of the features OF the day was the
steepIechase, carded as the third race It
resulted in as good contest and finish as
was ever seen in a race of this kind. The
| contestants were all good. clean jumpers,
making no mistakes and taking their
fences without the slightest trouble. The
finish was a grand one. Cousin Jess Sc

Rose Of May gave evidence of her quail
ity in the dfth event. She won a good
race after she looked hopelessly beaten.
Taken by an Outsider.
The sixth and last race on the card,
handicap at mile and a sixteenth was
the biggest upset of the day. There were
only four starters 1t looked on paper as

This was Daly's frst win of the meeting,
