FIRST DAY AT BENN1Na.
Entries for Columbia Handicap and
Bladensburg Steeplechase High Class.

Entries for Columbia Handicap and
Bladensburg Steeplechase High Glass.
The entries for the two principal races at
Benning on the opening day, the Columbia
handicap and the Bladensburg steeplechase,
were made public last night by Secretary
Walton of the Washington Jockey Club.
This will make the fourth running Of the
former event and third for the latter. Close
followers of the racing game scanned the
lists of horses in the Columbia with more
than usual interest, as the field Is large
enc and classes up high. Several old ia
vorites-Carbuncle, Graziallo and Ascen-
sion-were debated upon at length, but
Father Bill Days Proceeds was on the
tip of almost all the wise peoples tongues.
This veteran owner has been having quite
a stretch of bad luck at the metropolitan
tracks. and 1t would be just like him to
come down here and clean up everything
in sight, starting with the Columbia on the
opening day. The DAILY stable has a great
following in this city, and whenever one Of
Pa Days nags gets under the Wire first
the bookmakerS generally feel the result
for several days thereafter. Proceeds is
one of the best horses the veteran has ever
had in his stable. and will bear watching,
although there is no question but that
Mamie Worth will go to the post favor
lite in this event.
The Steeplechase shows a remarkable list
of entries. the number going high enough
to take in about all the timber toppers
known to the Benning course, and as this
style of sport Is reliShed a great deal by
the Washington people, the attendance will
assuredly be up to the record on the open
ing day, November II.
