All Sorts of Surprises Crop Out-Smoker Sad
Disappointment-Cle Left Standing
at Post in Fifth

The talent at Bennlng yesterday had
plenty to gossip about and tongues were
wagging at a furious rate all the after
noon.
The trouble began in the first race
when Smoker. the favorite. with that
old master, Shaw, up, failed to finish
in the money. And then in the third
race the TO 2 choice Banyah. ridden
by Tommy Burns, another of the old
guard. was sourdly beaten by the 10 TO
l shot, Gilvedear.
It was trouble in punches in the fifth
race when the favorite. Clements, was
left standing at the post. The croakers
cut loose after this race and freely
intimated that the course OF the betting

which had started in the first race and
had run last. The clever fellows used
up much graz matter trying TO figure
out how a horse could run last IN the
first race ard first in the last. II is an
intricate problem and probably requires
an application OF the differential cal
culus.
There was some talk last night TO the
effect that the stewards had sent Tor
the boOkmakers' sheets in the Clements
race, but there is probably nothing to
that. Clements has been LETT before
at this meeting. Mccarthy said tnat
Yesterday he refused TO break at all

home that Clements could be persuaded
to leave the post.

The smart fellows figured that Giles,
who is hardly bigger than a goat,
would be unequal to the task Of run

ana regarded his appearance in the
last race as something of a joke. Br'er
Hall. however. proved that he knew a

not hurt Giles and with a rest of two

As matter Of fact more automobiles
were parked along the Fort George
promOntory than had taken part in the
parade. There were at least 200 ma

OF more than $500 900. The gathering
was a record breaker IN itself.
Records in Every Class.
Though records were made in every
class OF the climb. the most Impressive
record was that OF the prowess Of the
automobile Of 1908. Ten years ago no
car had been built that could have

longer.

at Falk losing the game to 2. when
the score had been , TO l. in favor Of
Washington. upon his entering the box
in the sixth inning. Somehow, FaIken-
berg has little in reserve when men are
on bases Instead Of strengthening at
such times or showing an unusual burst
of speed in a pinch, he rather seems to
lose his effectiveness. Hits off him
nearly always come in punches and OPP
posing batters have made more timely
taps with him on the slab than with
any other Washington twirler. This
has always been his great drawback
He thought he had conquered the old
