Coin.
FARRELL'S FIRST PURSE
Garth Had Two Winners.
Great Running to
Form.

If the layers Of odds at Benning yes
terday afternoon had any of their money
left when they quit the day. it was noJ
the fault OF the horses that started fay
orites in the six races.
Every one Of the half-dozen first
choices was in the van when the wire
was reached. and all were strongly sup
ported by the betting public even at
the short prices that We're offered
against some of them.
Many Of the small bettors and some Cf
those who risk larger sums would not
take the odds quoted against one or two
of the winners and played other horses
10 beat them. but as race succeeded
race and favorite after fayOrite trotted
home in front, the men who go to the
races to take a chance and get rich
quick had their rolls sadly depleted.
Imperialist Fooled EN-.
Surely every first choice can't win, -
they would say as the day progressed,
and when the bugle called the horses
TO the gate in the jumping event. many
bettors were down on the longer-priced
horses in the race. They believed that
Imperialist. although he was but to .
in the betting and a strongly-played
first choice, could not complete the
record and make the day a clean one
for favorites. But Billy Garths good
jumper was the easiest winner Of the
afternoon. and there was no doubt at
any stage of the journey The only pos
sible chance for Imperialist to lose was
the possibility Of falling. and he clear
ed the fences so well that this possible
ity was reduced to a minimum.
Paul Clifford Is Good.
Washington-trained horses had anotn-
or good day, and the victory of the local
thoroughbreds added another indorse-
ment 20 Benn'ng as a desirable winter
ing ground. Old Paul Clifford, in the
first race showed himself 70 be a gooe
horse at the present time, by winning
without much difficulty.

Port of Spain, Trinidad. July 81. -
Ambrose Howard Garner, the former

Bermudez Asphalt company, who was
recently appointed receiver of the
company as a result of the suit
brought by President Castro, accom-

arrived at Guanaco yesterday on the

backed by Venezuelan soldiers, took
possession Of the properties of the
company, including the asphalt lake,
against the energetic protests of Capt.
Cooley, the company's representative.
The steamer Viking, belonging to-
the company, escaped seizure and has
reached this port with the news Of

Washington, July 31.-W. M. Myn-
the Venezuelan government in selling
the properties of the New York &
Bermudez Asphalt company has.
caused an unpleasant impression in
government circles. Officials are I'M
able to understand the reason for
what appears to be such an arbitrary
procedure, as the supreme court of
Venezuela heretofore has upheld the
claims of the company to it's proper
ties.
Following notice of the action of the
Venezuelan government few days
ago in securing an attachment against
the company in view, it was under

which have been taken hy Venezuela,
together with other information bear

His report is anxiously awaited, and
on it will depend the course to be
taken by the United States for the
protection of the vested rights of the,
company, which seem to be so seri-
ously endangered by the attitude Of
the Castro government.
