races and the second renewal of the Ben
ming handicap. which was the feature event

by resident of the District, won easily by
four lengths.
Because many of the horses eligible for

track the field of starters In that event was
reduced to seven horses. Castalian, who

throughout the journey and won in gallop
by four lengths from Briarthorpe. which

The meeting was a highly profitable one
to the management, and the treasury Of the
club was enriched nearly $4,000 by revenue
from many sources. The attendance aver
aged nearly double that of any other meet
ing. Speculation was brisk from the first
day to the close.

GOOD WRESTLING BOUT.
Americas Downed Harvey Parker in
Exhibition Match.

Gus Schoeline. better known as "Ameri-
GUS" the middle-weight champion of the
south, defeated Harvey Parker, the welter-
weight champion of the world. last night
at the Lyric Theater, Baltimore Parker
was thrown twice. The first fall was In
twenty-stx and quarter minutes and the
second In six and a quarter minutes This
bout was not for the welterweight cham
pionship. as Americas was about twenty
pounds heavier than Parker. The specta-
tors went wild with excitement over the de-
feat of Parker by Baltimore's swonderful
wrestler. Americas" secured the first fall
by a back hammer lock and half Nelson,
which he had so well planted that Parker
was forced to yield. The second fall was
secured in a very short time, Parker going
down under a leg and jaw hold. After the
bout "Americus'' was carried off on the
shoulders of his admirers and the crowd
gave every evidence of the widest joy. The
bout was referred by Charley White, the
well-known referee of wrestling matches
and prize fights.
