Brings Outsider Under the Wire a
Length in Front of Brown Tony.

The sensation at Benning yesterday was
the victory of o. L. Richards Dress Pa
rade in the third race for maiden two
year-old colts at four and a half fur
longs. The colt was quoted at 100 To
at one time of the betting. but his gen
eral closing price was sixty, Frank Moore,
the well-known clubhouse commissioner,
had $40 on the good thing against Sl,000
while a number similar wagers were dis
covered after the race. Dress Parade's
triumph was chiefly due to little Nc
Cahey's horsemanship.
The colt was in close quarters Just
after the start. but McCahey took him
TO the outside and then put him under a
hard drive with Hle result that the
youngster. with much gameness. drew
away at the end and won by a length
from Brown Tony, 6-to-1 shot. Claiborne
was closing swiftly at the end, and was
less than length out OF the place.
Paddy Sullivan and his friends from the
Bo7sery enjoyed a killing when Elizabeth

second race. She broke slowly, but TAX
ing the overland route, she got up in
time TO beat Cheek. lowered several
points. by a head. Geo. Odom's Bonnie
Kelso. backed from 10 is to S, made the
