BENN1NG RACE TRACK, November 10
The continued cold weather and COMPARE
| lively poor card hurt the attendance at
Bennng today.
Three of the events have selling condf-
| tons. and there is neither a handicap nor
a stake to vary the monotony. Many OF
| the patrons stayed away in anticipation OF
stomorrow's big card, and this also helped to
keep the numbers down.
| The track is thoroughly dried out and is
| now at it's best. The specials brought In
| only fair crowds from Baltimore and Phila-
| delphia.
Following were the scratches bulletined at
1:45 p. M: In the first. Pittacus. The Cap
tain and Margaret Kent; in the second
| Pompano: in the third. Cryptogram: in the
| fourth, Bar lie Due; in the fifth Baikal and
| Gaviota.

| dith Campbell 90 NeiD. to and out first;
Red Damsel Burns). 8 and 2, second: Sam

!. but Master Prim took the lead as the turn
was reached and held on easily to the end

Consistent Racing.
Five fayorites gladdened the hearts Of
the betters yesterday and made the book
makers sad by earning decisions. The
horses are certainly running up to form
and far only the best horses have won.
| In one two instances better riding by
| the jockeys, might have landed differen.
winners, but the best ponies have won in a
great majority of contests. During the four
| days of racing eighteen first choices have
landed first money. If this sort of thing
continues the talent will ride home in
paTlor and the "bookies' will be glad
| to cling to the bumpers.
After the last race had been run and
hundreds of persons had crowded the cleo
| trio cars to journey, home, the power gave
| cut and there was a wait for about forty
| five minutes. Many started to walk home
| but by the time they had made half of The
walk to the city the cars started running
! again and everybody was restored to good
humor. Cen Haywood was among the
pc destrianS.
H. l. dTiIln was given a QOSe OF MS own
medicine yesterday after Trepan had Won
| the fifth race. Tommy has had an ex-
| asperating way of bidding up horses and
Alex. Shields took a hand in the game yes
terGay, bidding Trepan up to 81 800 which
| was $500 over his entered price, and secured
the runner
| Just how hard the bookmakers are being
| hit at Benning be CLEANED from the
fact that on the opening day f1fty-eignt
| were lined up ready for business, while yes
terday there remained but thirty-four.
