the peculation-Baltimore Contin-
gent of Spectators Small.

After the trainers and owners had filled
up splendid racing card for today at Ben
ming the weather bureau knocked every
thing to smithereens by furnishing a down.
pour of rain which started at an early
hour this morning.
stiff wind rom the northeast added to
the discomfort. AS a result the blue pen
Gil went through the different events on the
card and all that were left were the ponies
with a liking for muddy going. From a
speedy track Saturday the course slipped
back almost to the quagmre of last Mon
day and the betting talent had hard time
deciding on the favorites.
1t was expected that many additional
bookmakers would get down for business
today, but the miserable weather and con-
sequent small attendance decided them TO
keep off until later in the week.
Twenty-Five bookies were on the line, and
they proved sufficient to handle all the bets
offered The crowd from Baltimore was
about the smallest of the meeting. not being
equal to the one that came over on the
opening day. which was the smallest last
week.
There was considerable local interest IN
today's card owing to the fact that the
Columbia stable had several entries, and
as all its horses are in good condition con-
siderable money went up on its entries. The
Columbia stable is owned by Washington
people, and the proprietors and trainers
have not been a bit backward in giving
out information regards their horses.
