There were no flies on John Mylie,

GALA OPENING AT BENNING.
Fine Weather, Big Crowds and Fast
Track.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
RENNING RACE TRACK, March 25
Better weather could not have been or
dered for the opening day of the spring
meeting of the Washington Jockey Club,
and although Superintendent Lee threw
open the gates as early as IL o'clock this
morning, an almost continuous stream OF
patrons have been passing into the grounds
since. At o'clock, one hour before the
first race. there was fully 1900 people on
the grounds and the incoming crowd had
swelled to great proportions Many ladies
were among the interested spectators and
their bright costumes added to the merry
scene in and about the magnificent grand
stand.
Superintendent Lee and his assistants
were working up until noon getting matters
in shape for the opening crowd, and their
work reflects credit upon the management.
Everything was as bright and clean as the
proverbaI new silver dollar, and bouquets
of f1attering comment were showered on
the Jockey Club by the throngs Of spec
tatorS
The 5O-cent field innovation was watched
with interest and if the first day can be
taken as criterion the idea is a Hat
failure.
At 2:30 pm. there were exactly twenty
one persons by actual count inside the in
closure. and the pretty little stand was
almost deserted. This seems to indicate
that the Washington people are not stick
lers for price as long as the attractions and
accomm mOdations are firSt-class.
The track was a thing Of beauty for the
veteran followers of the races, and the
going will be fast. The sun has dried out
all the moisture and after the harrow and
roller had been over it nothing better could
be desired.
The scratches at 2:3O o'clock were: Man
o'War in the first; Silent Friend In the
third; Fonsaluca, Cormorant, Slidell and
Man o'War in the fourth, or handicap.
