CUT WIND LIKE ARROW

People out Mt. Pleasant way who were
returning to their homes after Easter serv-
ices last Sunday had their attention at
| tracted to a fashionably dressed man,
| perched upon the seat of a stylish brough-
am, urging spirited horse to farther &C
| ton.
He had a derby hat drawn partially over
| his eyes to protect them from the wind.
| From time to time as the whip he held In
| one hand touched the flesh Of the animal 1t
! would give lurch, and the wheels Of the
heavy vehicle made accelerated revolutions.
Men who are accustomed to the antics OF
equines, and some of whom only the day
before may have gratified their love for
such things out at Benning, paused to rev.
| erently see the workings Of this little horse
| and to inwardly praise its efforts at speed
Women Looked on in Wonderment.
Women whose attentions up to that time
had been directed to the new gown or the
| new bonnet Of their neighbors swished
their skirts and looked on in wonder as the
driver passed them and disappeared in the
| distance out 14th street
! There was much speculation as to who it
| could be- Surely it was not one of the
horde of hackmen that are to be seen in
| the thoroughfares of Washington every
| day.
| The interest that was caused will be dis
PEELED when it is known that there is to be
| a novel horse race for mile at Bright
| wood Saturday afternoon at o'clock This
| race Is to come off on time. rain or shine,
! and the outcome will determine which of
| two men shall pay for dinner at the Met
ropolitan Club. If the weather is good
| there will be liberal attendance of the
| smart male set Of the national capital.
Wager Made at Metropolitan Club.
Walter Denegre is a well-known society
man of New Orleans. He is fond of horses
| and he has a string of fast ones. They
are fast, if Mr.. Denegre is to be believed,
and Mr. Denegre says they are. Mr. Dene-
gre is friend of Hugh s. Legare of this
city.
Mr.. Legare is also a lover of horses Mr.
Legare has a half-bred trotter that he is
proud Of This particular trotter is fast
one. Mr.. Legare declares 1t is, and 1t is
because of this confidence that the race at
Brightwood has been scheduled.
The men were at the Metropolitan Club
one day last week discussing the merits of
horses. There was much talk pro and con,
and finally wager for a dinner was made.
Owners as Drivers
The conditions of the wager are that
each horse shall pull a brougham and the
owners shall be the drivers. The coming
race had created more than usual interest
among the members of the Metropolitan
Club, and 1t is said large number of side
bets have been made.
Mr.. Legare had a brougham race with
Mr.. Clarence Moore last year and came out
victorious. He is confident that he will win
in this race Both Mr.. Legare and Mr..
Denegre training and may be seen
every day perched upon their respective
broughams combating the wind in the
suburbs
Mr.. Denegre has his string of horses in
Washington. He usually spends his sum-
mers at Manchester y-the-Sea.
