BIG FEATURE EVENTS
LARGEST ATTENDANCE OF THE
SEASON AT BENNINa.

WAN Two dig feature events O0 Oady
card the largest crowd OF the meeting
turned out this afternoon at the Benning
, track. The Chevy Chase steeplechase at
tracted many women to the grand stand
and crowded the clubhouse SO that stand
ing room was at premium. For the regu-
lar patrons the running OF the Vestal
stakes was the chief attraction. while the
four other events were handicapped so
cleverly as to make the picking of the win
ner unusually difficult. New faces were
also noticeable from Virginia and Maryland
country districts, doubtless drawn out by
the steeplechase. Baltimore also sent over
its largest crowd Of the meeting, the cars
being crowded.
The track dried out somewhat during the
morning and stiffened up SO that the go
ing for the thOroughbreds. will be harder
and the time slower than for the past two
days. Mr.. Cavanaugh and the large
Pinkerton force have been working with the
bookmakers almost continuously in the
past four days and as result speculation
on the events goes along like clockwork
with the exception Of the last race. The
layers have habit of pulling OUT shortly
after the last race ana as a result Mr..
Cavanaugh has about fifty bettors around
his stand every night who have missed
making collections. Hereafter it Is ex-
pected that the layers will remain at least
ten minutes after the. last race. The
trouble has been brought about by I'M
known bookmakers, the prominent ones
keeping their cashier at the track until
everybody has been paid OF.
