OPENING OF THE
NEW CLUBHOUSE
AT
CHESAPEAKE BEACH.

One of The finest attractions re-
Gently thrown open at Chesa-
peai;e Beach is what is known as
the chesapeake Club The 10
cation of this beautiful building
is unsurpassed, having view
from its broad. shady verandas
of the entire bay as far as eye
can see. To be truly appreciated,
however, it is necessary for one
to visit this building and see the
extravaeant way in which it has
been furnished and decorated.
A restaurant and cafe is connect
ed Herewith. which for service
and cuisine is not excelled by any
club or similar place in Wash
ineton or elsewhere. This is open
to both ladies and gentlemen. and
those desiring to have everything
absolutely first class will not be
disappointed in the least. The
club rooms, located on the upper
floors. are open only to gentle
men members. and those wishing
to become members and obtain
the privileges of the rooms may
do so by making application to
the secretary at the club rooms.

had it been won by the fdvorito it would
nave been satisfactory enc. As it was.
Terra Firma was a heaviiy-played ia

good one. although there was a great
cheer as the winner returned to the
stand.
Otis. Aladdin, Little Scout and Glen

for the race. but the St. Louis betting
public did not think any one of the
quartet could beat the St. Louis horse.
Terra Firma, ard he was made the
choice. with the Bennett entry second

ceived considerable support, but Otis
was only mildly played.
Otis took the lead at the start and led
by length for mile. with Clearwater

quarter Otis had increased his lead to
two lengths, and as they turned into the
stretch Clearwater cried enough ard re-
tired. while Coburn brought up Little

GOSSIP OF THE TURF.

Tod Sloan was arrested in Paris few
days ago for speeding in his automobile
beyond the limits of the law. Tod pro-
tested and asked to be allowed to pay
a fine. but French justice said nay, and
Tod was compelled to spend several
days In Jail. which must have seriously
ruffied his aesthetic feelings.

Experts say that little d. O'Connor has
the making of crack rider in him. He

The remarkable reversal CT form that
race horses show at times frequently
leads to all sorts of rumors and sus-
picions. but in many instances these are
without the slightest foundation.
1t is the reversal OF form as much as
anything else that makes horse racing
uncertain. and It is its uncertainty
which makes it popular. II horses could
speak they could dish out the best kind
of paddock information. The poor
brutes can not tell how they feel. Their
affection has to be so serious that ii is
noticeable ere they get any attention.
No doubt many horse is sent to the
post when he should be under a sur
geon's care in his stable. and yet his
owner may be under the impression
that he is at his best. Naturally the
horse runs a poor race on that day, and
IL he feels his best the next time out
he shows wonderful Improvement. OF
course, one can always hear a lot of
talk about the horses, but the man
who goes along convinced that every
race is run on its merits stands a much
better chance of beating the races than
does the fellow who is always looking
for some one to turn a trick, and while
he is so doing the best horses are win
ming.
