Washington's gentlemen riders were
given another opportunity TO show their
ability as jockeys yesterday, when the
Amateur Cup race was run at the BEN
ming track. The occasion brought out an
other large crowd, and many ladies were
Tin the clubhouse and grandstand to cheer
the horsemen.
Society was again prominently repre-
sented. a large number of its devotees
occupving seats on the clubhouse lawn
Old Georgetown. College incidentally
achieved another victory, for the winner
of the race. Cheval dor, was ridden by
| Alfred Devereauv. freshman Of the class
OF 1905 Mr.. Devereaux rode capitai

All of them no doubt did the best they
could. but Mr.. Devereaux seemed to be
the only one capable of helping his horse
at the finish, but with better rider en-
Mistress it is probable that CheFal UT
would have been second.
The bright skies and warm Winds were
a welcome change from the cold and damp
weather of the past few days. and the
crowd therefore took much more inter-
est In the afternoon sport. Whlle there
were no close finishes, all Of the events
were interesting and as the talent plcKeo
four of the seven winners the bookmak-
ers again got the worst of the afternoon
encounter. The cup race furnished the
closest finish of the day, but in the fourtf
and fifth races the winners had to do theil
best to get home in front.
Poor Lot of Maidens.
A poor lot of maidens lined up in tn,
first race. fifteen horses, the largest helt
of the meeting, going to the post. Not
withstanding the quality of the horse
and the fact that it was a maiden race
the books were very slow in laying price
against the horses.
Finally they chalked up even none
against Gum Honey, who showed a mas
of speed in his race last week. He foun
few takers at these odds but when tn
layers advanced the price TO to l, ther
was a rush to get aboard and Gum Hone
was heavily played. There were numer
Gus tips out, however, and Lithium wa
played for a killing, being backed fror
20 TO / down 10 to ! at the ciose IN
DAILY pair Odds and Ends and Father DeI
Sunnyport. Flo Russell, and Rossair a
had friends, and the race was H'ei
betting affair
The start was a good one. considerin
the large field. with Lithium the first I
show. Flo Russell second. Gum Hone
was off 9th but when he turn was react
ed he had worked his way through TO II
front and rounding into the stretch was
length in front.

denly and Flo Russell took up the ru

teenth from home, when Directum, at

captured the race. Flo Russell beat Gu
Honey for the place, the latter tirii
badly.

Talent All at Sea.
The talent had Il hard time chocs
between Blue Delft and Tom Maybin

was a slight fayorite over the NO
