TO IMPROVE RACING.
Benning Track Merged Into the West
chester Assimilation

New Orleans dispatches to the effect that
the Benning track had been purchased by
and the Washington Jockey Club merged
into the Westchester Racing Association
caused considerable comment in racing cir
cles yesterday and puzzled those who are
acquainted with the inside facts. 1t Is a
fact that has been known for some time
that the same set of men are practically in
control of both tracks. In view of this the
talk of a purchase seemed strange.
The &ist of the matter Is that the stewards
who control both courses have decided to
lend to the Benning course the prestige of
the Westminster associa TONS name and to
elevate the sport in Washington. To &C
compHsh this the plan evolved was to pro-
coed technically and have the Westminster
association obtain twenty years lease of
the Washington Jockey Club.
This has not yet been done, but there Is
every reason to believe that it soon will be
accomplished. After it has come to pass
the course will be improved, and next sea-
in size in order to attract the best class
up to the plane of that at Morris Park, or
at least nearer to it. The idea is to i'm
prove the sport and such move could not
fail to do so.
The fact that the same men are and have
been in control of both tracks renders alb
surd reports sent out SO worded as to imply
that the purchase" of the Benning track
was a move toward the formation of a
racing trust.

Long Term for Theft,

Sidney Davis, colored, was crossing the
White Lot yesterday afternoon with a bag
over his shoulder when he was stopped by
Mounted Policeman Creagh and questioned
about the contents of the receptacle. Davis
was little backward in answering, and
the officer investigated and found that the
bag contained a quantity of wire, and be-
cause he could not give a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION as to how 1t came into his pos
session Davis was landed behind the bars.
Later it was found that the wire had been
taken from the plant of the Potomac Elec-
trio Light Company.
When he appeared before Judge KiInball
today on a charge of theft Davis did not
deny the charge. and was sentenced to a
term of six months In jail.
