FIRST SPRING. EVENT
At BENNING TRACK
Large Fields Assured for the
Coming Meeting.
Horses Now ON Ground backward In
Training on Account of Bad
Condition of the Course.

The announcement of the entries for
the first of the spring handcaps to be run
on the opening day of the Benning meet
ing leaves little to be desired, and the
| Washington Jockey Club is to be con-
| graduated on the quantity and quality
of the candidates A better lot could not
have been expected. and it assures for
| this special feature the best field that
ever faced the starter.
There will be many conjectures and sur
misses as to what horse will be accorded
the post of honor in being allotted top
weight but all have faith in the Judgment
and skill of Mr.. Vosburg the official hand
icapper of the jockey club, to treat all
fairly, and make 1t possible for every one
OF the thirty-seven entries to have a
chance to win.
Many of the horses entered in this event
are now quartered at Benning, but the
| track is in such bad condition, owing TO
| ice and snow, that they are at least three
weeks backward In their training. and
unless warm rain sets in and thaws out
the track, SO that the horses can get some
actual work, il will be almost impossible
to fit them for this special race
This would practically mean the winning
OF this handicap by some one of the can
didates now racing at New Orleans. and
who viii come up to Benning right on
edge. or by horses trained elsewhere
where the conditions have been more ia
vorable.
The Washington Jockey Club is doing
everything in its power to hasten mat
tiers by picks, shovels, salt, and harrow
disks. but it looks now as if warm rain
is the only thing that can afford any i'm
mediate relief.
All the horses at the track are doing
well and seemingly in splendid condition.
with not an invalid among them Shed
work is all they have gotten so far and
this will not fit horse for racing. and
no trainer can actually estimate whether
his horses have got their speed until he
gives them actual track work. AS the time
approaches for the opening OF the meet
ing. should the track ever get in good
condition, Benning will be pretty lively
spot.
Horses are arriving every day by the
carload. The latest arrivals are as fol-

and we've already begun shipping out-of-

There will be a great variety of these
/ things, at all sorts of prices, some of

! Prince Henry button, containing a photo
graph of the Prince, with tiny representa-
tions at the sides. of the German double

American flags crossed, that will sell for
three cents. From that they will run
to five cents, and up.
Among the many things offered there
will be a souvenir button with pictures of
Prince Henry. Miss Alice Roosevelt, and
the yacht Meteor. Here is an oval, medal
lion-like button. with a picture of the
Prince, with a gold rim around it, There
will be badges and rosettes of the German

And we are looking for a great sale
for them. Not approaching in amount, of
course, that of the sale of badges and but
tons in a Presidential campaign, with its
interest extending for a considerable
period of time, and over the whole coun-
try. But there will be a great demand
for them for a time, at least, at those
points where the Prince touches in his
journeyings.

ERNE IS ANXIOUS
TO MEET CANS
Wants to Arrange a Fight
With the DuSky Boxer.
His Recent Statement Does Not Ex-
His Failure at Philadelphia.

Lightweight champion Erne has given
cut written statement Tor publication.
but the Buffalo Evening Times says
there is little new in il. and adds:
He fails to give the inside facts and
does not tell what the job to do him was.
Erne says he is satisfied to take all tho
blame in order to shield two or three per
sons whom the plain truth might hurt.
Regardless of this fact Frank ought to
lay bare the exact facts. Unless there
was something wrong on Erne's side ii is
hard TO see how the truth would hurt
these mysterious two or three people.
His Friends Stick to Him.
"Erne's friends in Buffalo are sticking
TO him, and even those who have never en-
tertained a high regard for him have
ceased their labors with the hammer since
he announced his intention of pursuing
Cans until the negro consents TO fight
him. Erne is anxious to meet Cans, and
will make any reasonable concession in
order to induce him to accept the offer
of the International 4. c., of Fort Eric.
Manager Herman said last night that nc
had heard no more from AL Herford, Cans
manager, but stated that he expected to
get word of some kind today. Herman has
made a guarantee offer of $4,000 for the
battle.
He Has Clean Record.
THE Buffalo public has confidence in
Erne's integrity. He has never been
mixed up in shady ring transaction
since he began fighting ard his record
speaks for itself. He has been accused
OF fixing a fake with Cans, but so far not
particle OF proof has been adduceI to
substantiate such claim. ErGe denies
the charge in most emphatic manner,
yet he declines TO give out the real facts.
He has placed himself in a bad light, but
by fighting Cans. whether he wins or
Loses, he viii square himself. in a meas
ure, without telling the inside of the
Philadelphia affair.
Not Afraid of CAMS.
Some have been unkind enough TO de-
clare that Erne is afraid of Cans Such
statements come from the ignorant and
jealous. Erre has showed that he stands
in fear Of no man anywhere near his own
class. He has always lodged easy gar.e
and went after the hardest game he could
find When he was shown where he could
make a tour of the country and clean up
s2G.oGo by meeting second raters. ne was
indignant and refused absolutely to enter
into any such an arrangement
1t will not be Erne's fault if he does
not meet Cans, and if the latter does not
accept Manager Herman's cffer of a 50. 600
guarantee then who shall we say is the
coward?"

 Will Gain their Liberty.

St. Louis, Feb. 1o.-Established prece- dents of the United States army were Dverthrown and the freedom of nearly 10 men now confined in Federal peniten- tiaries was assured by a decision render ed by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals today in the case of Peter C. DeIning, former captain of United States Volunteers, against Robert w. McClaughrey. warden of the Federal pen i.entiary at Fort LeaVenworth.
 Deming was inprisoned'on on the sentence of court-martial composed of nine reg aIar army oftlcers, convened by General N. R. shafter. March IS. 1850 The opin- ion of the sCircuit Court, written by .iuuge alter $. sacborn,' is that the court-martial which sentenced Deming acted in vioation Of Article v of the Articles of ar. which provides that of- fcers of the regular army shall not be .'onpelen to sit In coiirt-martial for the trial of officers ana soldiers of other forces.
 me essential question, as stated in Judge Sanborns ulfnIoD. is whether the volunteer army is tne same as the regu- lar army. or whether Il Is one of the other forces mentioned in Article T. The opinion establishes the fact that the volunteer army is at all times distinct from the regular army.
 Deming will be released from the Fort Leavenwortn pcnitentiary within sixty days. and all other former members of the volunteer army who are confined in Federal prisons on sentences inflicted by court-martial of regular officers will also be liberated as the result of today,s de; Cision. it is stated. F. A. Roster. United States District Attorney. estimates the Number of such cases at 200.
 Deming was a Captain in the Subsis- tence Department Of the Volunteer army He was commissioned under the act of is9e. providing for the enlistment of sol diers for the Philippines War. The charge against him related to his ac- counts. The court-martial composed of nine officers of the regular army, dis missed Deming from the service and sen- fenced him to three years in the penten- tiary. This sentence was affirmed by the Secretary of War and approved by the President
