BOWIE TRACK GOSSIP.

The accommodation furnished by the
w. b. & A. Railway Company today was
inadequate. Many of the passengers
were compelled to stand both COM
ing and going to the track. How
ever. the mana cement has a plan on foot
and in all probability the Pennsylvania
Railroad will put on train Saturday to
accommodate the large crowd. The train
most likely will be run to Bowie station.
where they will be met by a number of
hacks and automobiles.
Many prominent society folk from New
York. Baltimore and Philadelphia were
present.
Out OF the seven events run today four
winners were furnished by horses that
have been wintering at Benning track.
This speaks well for this track as win

Thirty books drew in and each did
thriving business. and from the appli-
cations made at the secretarys office to-
day II is most probable that at least
forty books will be doing business before
the week Is over .
The old system of wagering II being
used. and from the way the public took
to this form of speculation II is a sure
thing that the present system Is favored
in preference to that OF the new style of
pari-mutuels.
Much regret was expressed at the
course today when word was received
of the death of Mrs. Hart Dcrnham in a
hospital in Baltimore. Mrs. Hart was
taken i'll about ten days ago with typhoid
fever. Word reached here yesterday that
she was improving and her sudden death
has spread a shadow of keen sorrow over
the entire course. Mrs. Dernham was
as we'll known on the turf as her hus-
band. who has been an official OF many
Of the courses in the past ten years.
Tommy McTaggart, brother OF Johnny
who has been on the ground
for the past year, made his appearance
on the track today. He rode in three
races, but did not annex any purses.
Joseph P. Murphy. presiding judge,
was on hand today and looked the pic

IN his opinion New Orleans will be the
Southern mecca OF racing next year. He
stated that the business men Of New

Mr.. Heydler predicted that the National

pointed out the fact that there would be
