today by the Washington Jockey Club at
Benning. a majority OF the best horses at

while the fields were not large in the first,
second and fourth races the thoroughbreds
Were so evenly weighted that sport of un-
usual excellence was the result The other
three races had Eood-siZed fields
The track Is IN splendid shape, and 1t is
more than likely that new records will be
hung up daily The fine weather today
brought out ono of the largest crowds of
the meeting.
The bookmakers had a stormy time of it
yesterday, as six favortes went under the
wire first, and the talent carried away
many thousands of dollars. The sport was
not of the best, as the finishes in majority
of the events were tame affairs, several
lengths generally separating the winner
from the rest of the field. Paul Clifford
won the first event by three lengths, and
was an odds-on favorite. Clifford is gener-
ally "a front runner, and his hackers were
elated over the fact that, having got Off bad
he came through the bunch with all the
nerve possible. Dulcibella and Jade made
one of the good finishes of the afternoon,
the former winning by head. Jade was
well ridden by Michaes, but lacked the
speed at the end to land the race. In the
third Latheron was the favorite and he
had an easy thing of it, running in a good

Easy for Andrew Mack.

Andrew Mack Frank Farrelrs good three
year-old colt, had almost a walkoyer for
the fourth event, Shaw taking him to the
front when he got ready, and won by ten
lengths. In the fifth sails, who is in grand
form, had hard race until the stretch was
reached. but when called upon by Phillips
responded in game style, and tcat Homo
lulu by Il length and a half.
One of the starters in the SteeplechaSe,
Chevai d'Or, fell at the first jump. The re-
naming six ran in a cluster around the
lower turn, but at about half the distance
the Virginia horse, Imperiaist, began to
draw out, and he eventually won easily.
Boney Boy fell at the jump near the half
mile pole while going very well Heir APP
parent went down opposite the stand.
Strike a Light fractured his near fore pos
tern, and his rider, Mr.. r. NJ Taylor, was
forced to dismount.
The stewards during part of the after
noon were busily engaged listening to tes-
timony in the case of Mclaughlin and Du-
bois. who quarreled at the track. Dubois
denied he had applied harsh epithets to Nc
Laughlin. The Stewards took no action.
1t turns out that the FLY Julia NJ, who
won the first race at Benning on Monday
in the name of Fl. Morris. is still the prop
erty of Andrew Miller. who paid $500 for
her last season. Mr.. Miller leased the FLY
to Norris for the New Orleans meeting,
and the lease was renewed thirty minutes
before the race on Monday to hold through
the present meeting. Julia NJ will carry
Mr. Miller's colors the metropolitan
tracks again this year.

application yesterday for a Jockeys license.
Lavas, who can ride at 102 pounds, has been
working in the stable Of John H. Carr, at
Kings Highway. Brooklyn. all the winter
and lately has been exercising Carr s
horses on the Boulevard and at the Graves
end track. If license is granted him in
time lie may be seen in the saddle before
the Benning meeting ends. He will ride for
p. s. Roberts, who owns Rough Rider and
other horses of moderate class.
There were many earnest "rooters' for
Ned Henderson, who had the mount on
Rockland in the third race. Rockland was
a contender for first money for a part of
the journey. but had to be content with the
small end of the purse. Henderson. who
has always been identified with the stable
of w. p Burch. is popular in Washington
He has not had the best of luck lately. as
an accident here last fall which left him
with Il broken leg prevented his riding at
New Orleans during the winter. Had he
been privileged to ride there he might have
biossumed out as a star.

That Married Women Should Not
Work Outside Their Homes is Cder-
tied as an Expression of the Presi-
dent and ne is Roasted in Address.

New York" President Roosevelt
likes to order people about, and par
ticularly to tell women what they
ought to do. He's like Emperor Will
liam in wanting to run everything,
was a woman s comment to the Equal
Suffrage League at the Hotel Astor.
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, who
stood sponsor for this accusation, was
particularly disturbed by the presi-
dent s suggestion in his message that
married women should not work out
side their homes.
"What are married women to do?''
she asked; "women with little child
rem to support, women who have
worthless husbands, shiftless husbands
or drunken, beastly ones?" 1t is the
right of every human being to work
and married women are no exception
l do not at all believe in this notion
that married women should not work
for pay The whole business world
is run just to suit men now, but the
time is coming when things will be
different. Women workers will have
to be considered.
Mrs. Blatch described recent i'm.
provements In the electric plants OF
large factories in England, by which
power can be taken directly into the
workers homes.
