The wind-up of the spring meeting at Benning yesterday afternoon somewhat re seinbled a jollifeatlon at a county fair. There were several hundred Virginians at the race track, and as the Maupin stable, trained, by the genial Billy Garth, captured the first three events right off the reel, they made the- welkin Ting with their shouts and yells of glee. Yesterday's three victo ries for Mr. Mappir, made a difference of $1,700 in the way of purses, and ran his total of the meeting up to $6,610, twice as much as the next nearest stable. Indi vidually Trainer Garth has seen seventeen of his horses go under the wire first, while Mr. Maupin had thirteen. The record is a unique one in the history of racing at Ben ning, and the Virginians certainly had cause for rejoicing. The bookmakers also had cause to re joice, as but two favorites won, but the sport was first-class, nevertheless, a ma jority of victories being scored by close margins. The feature of the afternoon was the second Benning handicap, the winner turn ing up in Bohemia, who was coupled with Santa Catalina in the betting, the pair being the favorites at even money. Starter Cassidy sent the field away to a good start, Toscan being the first to show in front and who led the way to the turn into the stretch. Bohemia then went to the front at the head of the stretch and led for a time by a full length. In the run home there was a closing up, and Sals managed to get up to Bohemia's saddle girth, but Jockey Baird kept at work on the latter and she continued in the lead to the end, winning by a length. The next four horses were in almost perfect alignment, and the selection of the second and third horses was difficult, the judges finally giving the place to Sais, with Santa Catalina in the show position. The race from start to finish was a mag nificent affair, the runners being- close together all the . way, and a furlong from the end it was anybody's race. Jesse Brown Cup. The next event in importance was the ini tial running of the Jesse Brown cup for horses bred and foaled in Maryland, Vir ginia and the District of Columbia. Von sistent was singled out as the faorite, but the winner developed- in Pater, nicely ridden by Baird, with T. S. Martin second. Own er Maupin had promised Burns and Baird a fine suit of clothes if either -got home first, and this pair had a great struggle to the wire, Pater getting there by a neck. Con sistent was never prominent, although he got to the fore for a few strides at the far turn, and then died away. A beautiful sil ver urn was an additional prize in this event, and went to the breeder of the winner. The Virginians were given their first op portunity to yell in the opening event of the afternoon, when Little Woods, the favorite led from start to finish, and won by half a length over Mrs. Bradley's Waddell II, who was at the nice odds of 8 to 1 for the place. Waddell - was one of the outsiders in the betting, but was the only horse that made Little Woods go his best to win. The second race was the first five-fur long event of the meeting, and brought out a small field of two-year-old maidens. Judge White scored an easy victory, getting away from the barrier first and making every furlong a winner, going under the wire three lengths to the good. The fifth race was also something of a walkover, Monaco dor shooting to the fore at the start and spreadeagling his field all the way, winning by three lengths. A steeplechase faw four-year-olds and up ward, closing the afternoon's sport and also the meeting, was something of a surprjse to the wise people, as the favorite, Jim Newman, was easily disposed of, Gold Van leading by ten lengths at the finish. Jim Newman acted as pacemaker all the way until the last jump was cleared, when Gold Van shot to the front like a fresh horse and won so easily as to make the Hitchcock gelding look like a common plater.
