Large First Day Attendance.
That the Washington public appreciates
the efforts OF President Rowland and his
associates for providing clean. high-class
sport was shown conclusively by yester-
days large attendance at the opening.
In spite of an unfavorable weather out
look sport lovers of>the District turned out
in force And these, united to the large
contingent Of visitors from other cities
made up representative assemblage
President Rowland said at the close of the
day that the gate admissions showed a
larger volume than on the opening day q
year ago.
This is an encouraging beginning for the
club, for the brighter weather today will
certainly bring more patrons. 1t must be
remembered by those who take exception
to-the present tariff of admission that the
clubs revenues from the layers of odds
have been reduced to $12 day from each
against over FIVE times that amount as
formerly
This means that, whereas under the old
arrangement revenues from the bookmak-
Ing privileges have severaily paid purses
and stakes of the meetings, these privi-
leges now represent but small sum, COM
paratively. On the basis Of seventy EIGHT
layers doing business yesterday at s12
each the clubs receipts from that source
were but 1896, while purses and stakes for
the day showed disbursements by the club
to the horsemen of 1920. This leaves the
club dependent on the minor privileges and
the gate receipts to even up matters finan-
cially.
Society Well Represented.
In spite Of the bleak skies and winds. So
ciety was we'll represented In the club
house. Prominent ON the balcony as the
horses went to the post for each race were
people known In all walks Of life, while on
the walk and In the paddock were men,
bers Of congressional. diplomatic and bust
ness circles in force. showing that the
sport of kings" is also the sport Of all
classes Of people the world over.
Among these notable patrons OF the rae
Ing were Mr.. and Mrs. James @. Blaine,
DR.. and Mrs. McGruder. John McLain, w.
c. Eustis. Mr.. and Mrs. Doyle Montgomery
Blair. Ed Mitchell. Judge Burke Of vir-
ginia. Capt. Jack Price Of Nashville.
Judge Pendleton, John T. Deyine. H. Il.
Dulany. Harry Smith. w. Denny, Joseph
e. Seagram of Canada, Woodbury. Blair,
w. B. Hibbs. Geo. Howard. r. A. Johnson.
Henry T. Oxnard and many others.
Under these circumstances the club house
commissioner was busy man all the after
noon. and his trips to the speculative arena
were more or less productive Of results,
considering that three favorttes scored.
Joseph E. Seagram of Waterloo, Ont,
said. before the last race, that his ally,
Scotch Plume. would come close to winning
IL the rather sandy going did not handicap
her Naturally his stable commission was
a substantial one, ana as the general public
followed suit. Scotch Plume's price was
forced down from SIS to to 2 at post Time
But third position was the best that she
could get at the finish.
