GOOD WORKOUTS
AT BENNING TRACK

The rain Of a couple of days ago did the
Benning track a deal of good, and this
morning the going was highly satisfactory
to trainers, who are bending every nerve to
get their horses in readiness for next Mon
days opening.
Among those who personally witnessed
their horses move was Thomas Hitchcock
jr., from Aiken, S. c., whose string got in
early in the week. With Charles Herman
and John Madden he inspected the cracks
in the Observation-Disclosures barns, and later
had the pleasure of seeing Salvidere Dande-
lion and Tangle breeze a mile and a fur
long.
If Father Bill has not got couple of
good ones in his lot just in from G1avesend
some pretty good judges will be mistaken
His older horses, Sailor Boy, Warning, We
ronese and Umbrella, are the same every
day customers they always were that must
not be overlooked in moderate COMPANY
especially in mud or slop.
The only races Sailor Boy won last year
one here and two up north-were on a
slow track, and each time Jockey Miller
rode the horse. Umbrella is also a fair filly
in sloppy going. And both of these cam
paigners look further advanced than most
of the New York horses.
s. Four tWo-year-olds in the DAILY lot how
ever, are the ones likely to keep the talent
guessing during the next three weeks They
are Justine, Fair Annie, Wedding Day and
Hartford Boy. The last named bred at
Patters PeQuest farm in New jersey is
said to be a youngster above the average
Hartford Boy, by Royal Stag-Liebe on
his good looks and his reported work up
north, may be good colt now; but Just
how long he will stand Father Bits" he
role training methods is quite another mat
ter. If he can stand up under the drilling
he Is sure to get from Trainer Carter under
the orders of the boss he will perhaps prove
a stake colt.
Wedding Day, brown colt bred at H T.
Oxnard's farm, by Notwithstanding,
has shown nearly good as Hartford
Boy in their work. This youngster is also
a good locker, and his breeder, as we'll as
the local public, will take great interest in
his future. Days other youngsters also
look useful. He brought along PIaudit
two-year- old for Con Leighton.
Horses From New Orleans.
Thomas E. Mannix has also some good
material In his lot from New Orleans. He
brought In Sonoma Belle, Somnus, Costnosa
Ivanhoe, Jerry c., Waterdog, Grevilla, Tur-
bulence and Louis Taubin's Goldic and Con-
sideration. Goldic Is the horse purchased
from Ed Corrigan, and was good winner
at New Orleans. Taubin trained for John
W. Schorr a couple of years back.
Jockey j. Johnson came up with Mannix
and other riders are arriving daily. Radtke
looked over Garth's horses and expects to
win the silver mug In the first race Of the
opening day. Sir Wilfred is the horse he
expects to ride.
James Blute has brought with him from
California promising lad with the Celtic
name of Moriarity. He rode well on the
Pacific coast, and can ride as low as 90
pounds. The death of the two-year- old
colt Salover In this stable is much to be
regretted, as the colt was very promising
This is the only horse to die at Benning
this spring besides The Colonel.
Jockey H. Brown, steeplechase jockey
here, will ride for Adolph Dressler. lie can
ride at 135 pounds. and has never ridden
