A THRONG AT BENNIEG
CARS GOING TO THE TRACK
TAXED TO THEIR CAPACITY.

The beautiful weather today was a pow.
erful incentive in turning out a very large
gathering at Benning, the electric and rail-
way cars being taxed to their capacity to
carry those anxious to witness the fat and
steeplechase racing. The clubs house was
crowded. and the grand stand certainly
held the biggest attendance OF the meeting
The special from Baltimore brought over
seventeen cars. which were loaded to the
platform with race patrons. Down stairs
and on the lawn the sixty-odd bookmakers
had all they could do to handle the rushing
mob Of anxious bettors. The track con-
tinued fast .
Seven races were down on the program
for decision. the stake features being the
Junior steeplechase for three-year-olds and
the Washington cup. A good field Is as
sured for the chase, but it Is more than
likely that there will be many scratches
from tine list Of twelve that are named in
tie cup.
