rock fell anywhere near the watchers This was repeated twice and the con tractors estimated that about thirty square yards of rock were torn away by the dynamite, Twelve drills were working all yesterday on the powders which dot the site and six or eight more will be started to-day. The blast ing will be continued daily until all the rock is removed. The work of build ing the fences was begun yesterday, and half the fence along the Eleventh avenue side of the park was finished. By tomorrow night President Gordon expects to have the grounds entirely inclosed. Workmen started in at 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and in two shifts continued steadily until il 80 at night. This will be the order of things from now on. Even rain will not inter- fere with the laborers, who in wet weather will be protected by oflskins.

WASHINGTON, March 25. = Not withstanding the fact that only fair card was offered at the second days racing of the Bennings spring meeting. a good sized crowd was present, better weather materially increasing the at tendance. The track, which was sea of mud, had dried out considerably and was in fair condition, although very heavy. Three favorites won, and with one exception all the winners were heavily backed. The sixth was the best race of the day. It was a three horse affair, with Ben Howard as strong favorite. 1t looked all the way like Bon Mot's race, but in the last three yards he was beaten by AtheIroy by nose.
 First race, for Allies and mares three years old and up, six furlongs-Mrs. Frank Foster, 104 (Redfern), even and 3 to 5, won. Second race, for maidens two years old, half mile--Pleasant Memories, 1Q4 (Fisher), to 1 and to 1, won. Third race, selling, for three year-olds and up, six and half fur longs Locket, 118 (Odom), 9 to 10 and out, won. Fourth race, for maidens three years old and up, seven furlongs -Mezzo, or (Wilkersonl, 15 to and 3 to 1, won. Fifth race, selling, for three year-olds and up, six furlongs-M Musical Slipper, 96- (Wilkersonl, to and out, WY
