BENNING SLOW TO PAY.
Owners and Jockeys Are Complain
ing About Not Receiving Checks.

Special to The Washington Herald
New Orleans, La. Dec. 1.-THE manage
ment of the Benning track is being Sc
verely criticised here by owners and
jockeys for hardness in sending out
checks for winnings during the fall meet
ing at the Washington course.
Although the Benning meeting closed
two weeks ago. the money due for races
won or to jockeys for riding has not yet
been received. According to the turf fol-
lowers here. it is customary for the
checks to be sent out Immediately after a
meeting. and those to whom money IS
due are especially disappointed because
many Of the stables have experienced
poor financial success thus far this year
With feed bills due, owners are noping
that within the next few days they will
receive the checks which they expected
week ago.

ISABEL IRVING AND COMPANY
GAVE EXCELLENT SHOW

Probably as well pleased an audience
as ever assembled in this or any other
city was that which greeted Isabel r.
wing n her all-star company at the
Opera House last night. The piece
presented was Jerome K. Jerome's
three-act comedy, Susan In Search of
a Husband" There is not much to the
play except the wholesomeness of it's
humor, but it proved ample to show
how much IA be made of a simple
piece when placed in the hands of mas
tiers. Every member of the company
is a star, and was one uniformed as
to the leading lady in the play it
would indeed be hard to PASS judgment
from the acting, % charming were
both Miss Irving and Miss Jessie Izett,
who assumed the role of Robina Penni-
cuique. And not alone did these la
dies do exceptionally clever work but
Marie Wainwright, who is herself a
star in no small sphere, and Edith Lem
inert carried their parts with clever
ness which was not less pronounced
than the others. The gentlemen of
the cast were also of high rank and
merited a share of the approval given
the company.
