some Of them limped around throughout
the practice, and were good for little

Walter Johnson shows the good ef-

Lawn Tennis Club will be held at the
Raleigh Hotel this evening at o'clock

cessfuI in the history of the organiza-
ton, and 1t is expected that the re-

The new courts on Cathedral avenue

minor repairs will have to be made in

These are busy days at the Benning
race course.
Among those who have been at Ben
ming all winter is the famous old train
er, Billy Oliver. Things have not been
breaking so we'll of late years for the
"Canny Scot" but though considerably
disfigured, he is still much in the ring,
and prepared TO hold up his end with
any of the younger set.
This year he will have charge OF DR..
Tyrees stable. The druggist is an en-
tbusiastic horseman, and is willing TO
go TO any reasonable length in secur-
ing good material.
The older horses Of the Tyree string
are Cheek. Ivyton, Duke of the District,
and Hallack. The latter was purchased
outout of Doc Streets stable during the
winter.
1t Is on his two-year-OIds, however,
that Dr. Tyree places his chief reli-
arce, and among them he believes there
are some that will show stake form.
Pick of the Bunch.
The pick OF the bunch Is Wesrmore-
land, a brown colt by Ethelbert- This
one might well be called THE Last of
the Mohicans," for he is the only Ethel
belt two-year-old that will be trained
in this country this year.
The other Tyree youngsters are Ritz

Cav Deceiver Shows Well
Cav Deceiver. the property of Col. I.
NJ. Parr, has been schooled over the
sticks, and has shown remarkable apti-

The Garth two-year-olds are the best
bunch the Virginia turfman has brought

by such sires as Fatherless, Yankee. and
Sir Dixon, and have all shown well in
their yearling trials.
The Sage of Albemarle'' is sweet on

stable, however, IS said to be a colt by
Yankee. There Is considerable mystery
about this one, and he is carefully kept
