Baird Kept Promise
To Take -Four Races
Had to Ride Hard to Win With Colonne-RiIlv
Garth Humping BooEies FIard-FaIse
Price on Legerdemain

But fer Jockey Baird and 'tOld Vir-
giny'' things would have been very dull
at Benning yesterday.
But the rider who came East to try
his luck fer the first time and the dele
cation from Charlottesville and the sur
rounding country injected a bit of spice
into the proceedings. Baird is a coed
prophet. Before racing began he told
his friends that ne would ride four win
rers, and he made good by bringing
every one of his mounts home in front.
Three of them carried the colors of W.
l. Maupin, and are trained by Billy
Garth. and the yell thai went up when
Little Woods galloped of with the clos
ing race could have been heard half
way TO Charlottesville, for the Virgin
ians had been true to their own in spite
Of the tips on Legerdemain and Bill
Curtis.
The days operations proved conclus-
lively that Garth knows his little book
when it comes to Senning racing. He
has never had a real high class stable,
and is fully aware OF the fact that his
horses would cut little figure at the big
tracks around New York, and lays his
plans to play the part of the early bird
and run away with the Benning worm.
He comes up here each spring with
horses a bit further advanced than those
of his fellow-trainers, and is winning
races while other horses are being raced
into condition. He has won more races
than any other trainer during the meet
ing. and 4iikelvsto keep it up until the
hOrsemen pull up stakes and leave for
Aqueduct. Garth has two horses of
pretty fair class this season. They are
T. S. Martin and Pater, both of which
were bred at Capt. r. j. Hancock's Ell
lersfe stud at Charlottesville. They
should hold their OWN in good company
anywhere.
T. S. Martin was named for the United
States Senator from Virginia. and quite
naturally is believed TO be the best in
the stable. Both are eligible for the
Jesse Brown Cup, the big two-year-old
event of the closing day of the meet
ing. and unless there is some startling
development in the meantime, Garth
looks TO hold the winning hand.
Winning four races IL one day is a
pretty fair record for any jockey, but

WASHINGTON April s.-That a
tremendous naval battle is at hand is
the belief of this Government. which
hopes that, which ever side wins, the
end of the war will become imminent.
Diplomats see no promise of peace
while Japan demands and Russia re-
fuses to pay war indemnity.
The entire Japanese navy is with
Admiral Togo, viz: Five battleships,
eight, armored cruisers, fifteen pro-
tected cruisers, seven unprotected
cruisers four coast defense vessels,
seven gunboats, two torpedo gun YES

Total, sixty-seven.
The Russian fleet contains seven

tected cruisers Converted from mer-
chantmen), sixteen transports, twelve
torpedo-boat destroyers. Total, forty
nine.
Not including the transports, the
Russians will have but thirty-thre
vessels of all descriptions with which
to battle with Togo's sixty-seven ships.
Rear Admiral Charles ]. Train, COM
mander in chief of the Asiatic fleet,
has been notified by the Navy Depart
ment that he is relied upon to preserve
the neutrality of the Philippines in the
naval operations expected between
these belligerents While he has not
SO reported to the Navy Department,
it is believed probable that he may
have sent some warships to patrol the
waters of the southern portion of the
archipelago.
1t is when the battle shall have
been fought and decided that the Phil
1ppine ports may become information
ally important. It will be remembered
that when the Russian warships ran
out of Port Arthur last summer they
did not close with the Japanese, but
ran for Chinese ports. At Shanghai
and Chefu there was considerable
diplomatic turmoil until they were or

dered by the Chinese authori-
ties to dismantle until the end Of
the war. The United States has al
ready decided what to do In similar
events in the Philippines. The Grip
pied warships will be obliged to leave
port with such repairs as are possible
within twenty-four hours. or else they
will have to dismantle until the end of
the war.
: The American naval force, consist
ing of two battleships, a half dozen
cruisers five torpedo-bo destroyers
and any number of smaller craft, will
back UP the position of the United
States regarding its neutrality.
Naval officers here are rather sur
prised at the onward movement Of
Admiral Rojestvensky. He had al
ready delayed so long that it was sup
posed he was awaiting reinforcements.
Now that he has proceeded without
them it seems to the officers here that
he must have been ordered to do so
by the st. Petersburg Government. 1t
Is conjectured that these orders were
probably the outgrowth of the tense
diplomatic situation, the war party in
Russia desiring to hurry the last at
tempt of Russia to turn defeat into
victory.
1t is estimated that Admiral Rojest-
vensky's cruise from Madagascar to
Singapore was mace at the rate OIL
about seven and a half knots an hour
Ten knots is the usual cruising speed
for fighting squadrons, but the bot
toms of the Russian ships probably
are badly fouled because Of the long
stay in foreign waters.
If Admiral Rojestvensky is the man
naval officers here have reason to be-
lieve he is, his ships crews are now
in efficient condition. They have been
engaged in all manner of fleet exer-
cises and drills since they passed
through the Suez canal.
In quarters which frequently reflect
accurate Japanese opinion it is said
that Admiral Togo is further south
than is generally supposed. AS long

Maneuvering.
CHICAGO, April 8.-A special from
Singapore to the Daily News says:
Admiral Rojestvensky's fleet, which
passed this port to-day, was about
seven miles off land and afforded a
magnificent spectacle. 1t steamed
along four abreast, an armored cruis-
er and three Hamburg American
transports leading. Cruisers, battle
ships. colliers and a hospital ship fol-
lowed. The fleet made no stop. Rus
sian Consul Roudanovsky spoke one
of the torpedo-boats and the flagship
of the vice admiral. The vice admiral
offered no information as to the fleet
or its intentions
Steaming at the rate Of eight knots
an hour, it took f1fty-five minutes for
the whole fleet to pass a given point.
1t was very evident that the ships
hulls were exceedingly foul. Long
grass streamed from them and the
vessels seemed unfit for fast maneu-
vering. The crews of the various ships
heartily cheered Consul Roudanov-
sky.
The fleet was made up Of six battle
ships, seven cruisers, seven torpedo
boats, three transports, sixteen col
liers, one salvage ship and one hos
pital ship.
