A Lucky Virginian.

That young Mr. GTubb from Leesburg,
Va, is fortunes favorite. however, went
without saying at Benning yesterday. There
is an old saying that man convinced %
against his will is of the same opinion still .
But while young Grub was persuaded TO
accompany another f. F. V. to Benning
yesterday against his (Grubb's) inclination
he hardly win beat out the ending of the
old saw as to being still unconvinced."
The lucky inspiration that induced him to
place $40 against 81 900 on Bette Landon
went long ways toward convincing him
that he did well IN going to Benning yester-
day. However dissatisfied he might have
felt with himself earlier in the afternoon
this grub stake went long way toward
putting the young man in perfect accord
with himself and the re-r of humanity in
general.
Bette Landon's few hackers. however,
were lucky to cash in more ways than one,
as the FLY looked to commit a double foul
in the race for either one of which disauall
fication imminent. At the far turn she
cut Al Powell off sharply to cause
that colts jockey to pull up and go round,
losing several lengths thereby. While in
in the homestretch she impeded Bathmaria.
While the jockeys were being examined
by the stewards and also the acting patrol
judge, wagers were made at odds that Bet
tie Iiandon would be disqualified. But to
the general surprise the stewards let the
placing stand. Nine out of every ten layers
in the ring won heavily on the race. Bet

while the heavy play on both Al Powell
and Bathmaria left thousands of dollars in
their boxes. Jockey NOOne on Al Powell,

So seldom does a 100 to 1 shot finish In

makers in offering such long odds. Were

yesterday.
But a very few times each racing year
is the limit of such comfortable transac-
tons for the fortunate winners, who are
always on these occasions few and far be-

But when favorites or choices VIM the
man that plays every horse must lose. And
to follow such system in these days, when
the percentage of winning favoriteS at some
meetings reaches IS per cent would knock
any bank roll into snithereens.
It's the regular patrons of the sport who
do not lose any sleep over the fact that they
do not get on to these 100 to l shots. They
regard such incidents merely as a scratch

a Day of Vicissitudes.

Take the days sport all through, 1t was
one of vicissitudes and sensations, in which
the general body of hackers came out at
the little end of the horn, while many
bookmakers, losers on the meeting, were
enabled to even up matters, and more, too.
The careless riding of certain Jockeys and
the open character of several of the fields
made winners difficult to land.
Jockey Noone's unskllfui work with Al
Powell and Reidmore lost the colts owner
two races that almost any stable boy could
have won easily, while Slaughter's over
confidence with Garter Knot let Black Death
steal a march on him in the final furlong
