BIG COLONY OF
RACERS AT BENNING

Woods Garth is one of the most re-
cent arrivals at Benning. He brought
string of ten up from Charlottesville.
Va. and will fit them for an early start.
Gridiron, Lady Isabel and Wilton Lack
aye are the old horses in the lot the
others all being twC-yearolds. The
youngsters are likelylooking lot and
have had enough exercise at the farm to
keep them in good condition. 1t should
not take long to have them ready to race.
Theodore Coles is another of the Vir
ginians now at Benning. Two of his
best at this time are old Bobbie kean
and Juggier They have been gallop
Ing along together and have a way of
going that suggests plenty of speed.
Another lot of the Rainey horses came
on from the Tippah farm in Mississippi
and sweiled the lot in training for the
young sportsman. King Castle, the
jumper. and John Mars. for whom
big price was paid as a two-year-old,
were in the shipment. OF the Rainey
horses De Mund is the most promising
He has been showing no end of speed
! certain that he will be one Of the first
IN the stable to carry the Rainey silks.
Unfortunately De Mund has flattered in
his work on many other occasions. only
to fail when ii came to the actual racing.
If he could be made to race to his pri-
waite promise he would be one of the
most formidable sprinters of the racing
year.
his Virginia farm. His arrival will liven
things up not little at Benning. for he
will have three carloads OF horses in his
consignment. The colony is a big one
now and ali of the horses have been go
ing along in excellent fashion. The news
that the PimlicO meeting of the Mary
land Jockey Club would be conducted with
the sanction of the Jockey Club was en-
Enthusiastically received by the local train
ers, for most of them have had PimIico
in view and would not have risked being
outlawed had the meeting been run In
dependently of the Jockey Club.
With so many horses on hand and close
to racing condition the idea of a short
meeting at Benning has again b en-
preached. 1t is thought that meeting
of ten days. to begin April 10. could be
made to pay expenses. No movement has
been made looking to the arrangement of
such q meeting, but should there be one
no lack of horses need be feared. The
horsemen now at Benning would gladly
welcome such a chance to put on finish
ing touches for the Pimlico season and
would doubtless be willing to race for
small purses just for the purpose of In a
measure seasoning their horses.
Horsemen are anxiously looking for an
announcement of the racing dates for the
coming year. Until the dates are known
many of the stables will not plan the
campaign for the season. Unless the
dates are made public before the end of
the meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club
several stables that otherwise would race
about the Jockey Club tracks will ship
over the Canadian circuit. Each year
number of those who race at Pimlico ship
from there to Canada, but not a few of
them return to New York.
Each day the horses have been stepping
bit faster when the track condition will
permit. and before many days some real
ly fast moves will be possible.

Boss, who came here looking for a try
out by .Cantillon, seem~d to be affected
with heart trouble when the Nationals
clouted him. He had nothing TO fooi
them with.
Yohe robbed the Nationals Of half
dozen hits.
Freeman had many chances offered him,
many of them hard, and accepted all
without bobbie. Jerry also hit nicely.

RARE PEDIGREE
Prisoner With Irish Father and Danish Mother Is a lew

New York, July 1O.-When Harry Flynn. who pleaded guilty to stealing a. watch from his roommate in a lodg- ing house on June 6. was in General Sessions yesterday. Judge Rosalsky said he was puzzled by the incongrui- ty of the young mans name. religion and antecedents.
 Harry Flynn read the court off cer. '17 years old. born in Boston, fath- CT born in Dublin. Ireland: mother born in Copenhagen. Denmark: reli- zion, Jewish.'
 Whats that?'' exclaimed Judge Ro- salsky.
 May it please your Honor. I am an Irish Jew" replied the prisoner.
 That's a rare pedigree" observed the court. You were born in Boston. your father was an Irishman, your mother a Dane. and yet you are a Jew by faith. That's a new one on me. I'll send this case to Judge O'Sulli- van. He had an Irishman named Ro- salsky a few weeks ago. who pleaded guilty to assault. Now here is Jew named Flynn. pleading guilty to lar ceny. That's a fair exchange of com p1iments.
 Flynn was remanded for a week.
