Washinston Nov. 27-Long shots held high
carnival at the Benning racetrack to-day, and.
incidentally, one of the biggest killings OF the
meeting was made when G. L. NJ. beat Onatas
head IN the third race. G. L. NJ, running IN
the name and colors Of Big Tim" Sullivan was
backed from 100 TO 1 to 80 to 1. The word hao
gone out that the horse would win even with
Brady UP, and the ''pikers" tumbled over each
other TO bet their twos and fives at 100 TO /.
So persistent was che play that the layers quick
ly cut until 80 TO l was the best price offered
The plungers, in the mean time, were backing
Red Knight from to 8 to 1 to 3. as he appeared
TO have the race at his mercy. The unexpected
happened, however, and G.. L. NJ, after forcing
the pace lasted just long enough to win by a
head from Onatas with the favortte half a
length back.
The finish was so close that the majority Of
those in the stand could not tell which had won,
but when G. L. NJ s number went UP there was
noise enough TO indicate that many Shoe

Miller had the mount on Red Knight, and no
excuses could be made for the horse. which ran
below his recent form.
G. l. NJ. was not the only long shot to win, as
Society Bud was first home in the first race, at
60 10 !. while Luretta, az u to !. took the dfth
race, and Banker at 4 to ]. the last, after
Cederstrome had been disqualified. The win
ming faVorites were Cabochon and Lady karma.
Kings Gem. Hocray and Chippewa were about
equal favorites for the first race. but all three
finished outside of the money. Society Bud,
practically neglected at so to l. driving by
a length from Anna smith and Cinchona. The
last named was backed from 80 to 1 to 10 TO l.,
and a winning race from bad beginning.
Foxlau P. Keene and Jimmy Rowe came
down from New York to James r. heene S
CaboclIon run in the second race. Miller had
the mount and the good looking Disguise colt
backed from to . 10 10 5, won ridden out by
two lengths. Miller saved ground on the rail
turning for homo. and after q short but de-
! CisiVe struggle with Pierrot, former stable
companion. came away. Narelle of which much
was expected, was away poorly that he had
little or chance.
After Lady Karma had staggered home be-
fore Old Colony and the 100 to l shot Mary
Hall in the fourth race, the favorte players took
fresh heart and plunged on Workman, with
Miller up. in the fifth race. The horse was
backed from 10 > to even money, but after
showing the way to the turn for home, stopped
badly and finished far back in the ruck.

Cederstrome turned the tables on Banker in
the last race Cor his defeat in the Benning Spe-
cial last Saturday. but the i'll luck which has
followed him all the year was still in evidence;
the stewards sustained Niller's claim Of foul
and disqualified the Ben Strome horse. The
ruling appeared 10 be justified, although some
complaints were heard. The disqualification
sent 1Iillcr's followers home happy.
Ormonde's Right, the short priced favorite
ran dull race, and found the weight too much.

Two races to-day, but he finished far back IN
both the first and fifth races.
Two track records were broken Cabochon low
cred the six furlong record by 3-5 seconds, and
Banker clipped two-ffths Of a second off the
mile and a quarter record. which had stood since
