JUMPING RACE
Kiltons Entry Captures
Washington Hotel Steeple-
chase from Good Field.

Mud larks had a session at Ar
lington Park yesterday afternoon
when two fiat races and the Wash
ington Hotel Steeplechase was
staged by the National Steeplechase
and Hunt Association in conjunction
with the National Capital Horse
Show. Long before the bugie
sounded to bring the horses to the
post in the opening race, the track
had changed from the deep brown
loan that has made the little yir-
ginia merry-go-round famous into a
sea of mire and only mud horses
that liked the wet clayey earth had
a chance in the heavy going.
w. S. Kilton's Horsa accounted
for the jumping event, which was
easily the feature of the card. while
Col. A. X. LYMAN. mounted on
Amalgamator, managed to squeeze
a nose decision away from Slumber-
er in the second race on the card,
with n. e. Plunkett, the Washing
ton turfman. accounting for the
opening race at six furlongs with
Jackonetta
Horsa was easily the class in the
steeplechase, as J. Morris. who was
in the pigskin, got out in front at
the first hurdle and was never head
ed over the entire distance. Morris
judged the pace of his mount in a
clever style and at no time was he
in danger. Annie Excellence and
Pennyrock made a number of bids
to overhaul the leader but in the
last swing through the infield Paul
Powers Mo came up with a rush
I'D hA NJ
rich on Mo made his move too late
to catch the Kilton entry.
Rough riding on the part of Jockey
Dunlap, astride of the favorite Wo-
dan, marred the dash event which
was captured by Jackonetta. Wodan
got away to a flying start, but he
was quickly challenged by Neville
I'd and the winner. Caldwell. in the
colors of the Washington turfman.
moved his mount into. first position
during the second back-stretch run,
and it was on the far turn where
Dunlap pulled the rough stuff which
drove Jackonetta in to the rail. Cald-
we'll came away again with his mount
to land the honors. while Hasty Lady
by a brilliant drive in the last fur
long annexed the place with Sir Haste
in third position. Dunlap was given
a severe call by the stewards. with
promise of a setdown if he at
tempts any rough riding in his fu-
ture mounts.
Amalgamator's victory by a nod
in the mile and one-siXteenth hike
was a popular one as Colonial Ly-
mann, who piloted his own mount,
timed his pace well and came with
a great rush in the last few strides
to nose out Slumberer who also made
a drive after reaching the head of
the stretch. Tredette was first away
from the barrier. and led the parade
until the stretch run, when he was
forced back into show position. Ma
nioc. who was the favorite, did not
seem to like the sticky going and ran
an Indifferent race all the way, al
though Mr.. Ezepp urged his mount
over the route Manioc will be re-
membered as the horse which stepped
on Jockey frankie Robertson when
that ace Of American riders was kill
ed at Bowie this spring. The sum-
