Moiiie Denohue, the eastern performer
justified recent form at New York by win
ming cleverly from The Clown, a two7year-
old of such promise that his future career
will be closely watched. Had yesterday &
race been a trifie farther he would have
been arguing 1t out with the winner. The
race was a very heavy speculative affair.
If they had the money already won while
each of the outside division also had sup

Banker Lands Heavy Wagers.
Perhaps the heaviest wagers of the day
were landed over Bankers success. Jockey
Miller took the colt out in front and at the
turn shot across the track so suddenly
that his hackers held their breath for fear
he would foul some horse But he kept
clear and was never reached from start to

A Celebrated Dead Heat Race.
Among new faces at Benning yesterday
was the weli-known Maryland turfnlan
Mart Jordan, who has been racing in the
west the last two years. Mr.. Jordan enjoys
the unique distinction OF having had a
bcrse named after him in the late To's that
at Prospect Park race course, New Yors
was one of the contestants In a race where
three dead heats were run between him and
Bingaman, owned by the late Milton H.

This race, at a mile and three-ouarters.
constitutes a worlds record in its charac-
teristics. While triple dead heat between
three horses was recorded in England in
1855 between the American mare Prioress
and the English horses FL Hakim and
Queen Bess. the run-off being won by

The stars and stripes no race has ever beer

ty minutes and again brought out for the
run-off which resulted In a second dead
heat. Then the owners OF the old horse
wanted to divide. but the other party. D.
way. Another half hour of rest and third
trial found the horses again so closely lock-
ed at the wire that the judges could not
separate them. Now the owners OF the
others refused. and the fourth trial found
the old horse Bingaman winner by neck
only. Strange to say. this crucial struggle
did not hurt either horse.
