RACING, FO AND OTH Interesting Races of United Hunts Association at Benning. FOUR FAVORITES WON Woolgatherer's Win of Capital Steeplechase the Feature. "NAT" RAY'S FINE FINISH Big Foot Ball Teams Ready for Tomorrow's Games?Amateur and Professional Golf. The initial day's raolnjf of the annual meeting or the l nuea riunis Assunauuu ? Benning yesterday was unusually interesting. as a majority of the events were closely contested and but few falls resulted in taking the jumps. The ground was soft and In several cases the ponies came near going down while running on the grass, but while this was a handicap to the thoroughbreds it was appreciated by the few riders who took croppers and landed on their shoulders In the mud. Mr. Percy Evans, who rode Anna Bruce In the Clark cup steeplechase. WHS nil? UI1IJ Ullii-Xlf.il IU tan, anvi lie off with a broken collar bone and a good shaking up. Had the ground been hard the fall might have been fatal, as he landed on his head and shoulders at the same time. Saffel and Bowser were the other two riders to take tumbles, and the former was shaken up so badly that he had to be hauled to the club house In the ambulance. The jumping races have always been favorites with the Washington people, but there appeared to be a general misunderstanding among many of them that there would be no betting, and this idea materially affected the attendance. Horse racing of any descriptlrff! without betting can i?r luiupairu t-ainii, kc in*aui wiin tnc sweetening lP'ft out. and it goes without .saying that the attendance tomorrow will be very large. Society Backward. The cluh house contingent was also backward in turning out. although the general impression was that the races were given principally for their entertainment. There were representative groups from New York, Maryland and Virginia, among them being Mr. and Mrs. Perry Beimont, Mr. and Mrs. F. Ambrose Clark. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Kernochnn. Mrs. Smith Haddon, Miss Haddon. Kobert Gerry, J. R. Townsend, K. O. 1.a Montague. M. L. Schwartz. J. J. O'Brien and H. ?. *'ag?". rne Virginia contingent was well represented by Mr. and Mrs. lames K. Maddux, Mr. and Mrs. Julian Keith. Colonel Robert Neville. Richard YVallach. David Dunlop. Mr. and Mrs. Courtland Smith, I)r. and Mrs. James Kerr, Miss Aileen Kerr. Dion Kerr. Dr. H. H. Kerr and Chester Kerr. Percy and Lee Evans, Charles Hoof, Charles Hurkamp and many others. Everything passed off with clock-like precision and the officials of the meeting deserve the greatest praise for the energy and accuracy of their work. The stewards of the meeting are Samuel Ross, J. E. \Vldener and E. C. La Montague. The racing officials. W. P. Riggs, Judge; Prank liryan, handicapper; Thomas H. Smith, clerk of the scales; J. H. Bradford, jr., starter; W.

The feature of the afternoon's sport was the Capitol steeplechase, which resulted in three of the leapers going under tire wire heads apart and the fourth back only a half length. Bound Brook went to the post a favorite, while Woolgatherer, with Nat Ray up, was heavily played by the local contingent. The field got away to a fairly sood start, and as the jumpers passed .the stand tin" nrst time around Ketauket was Itt the lead by several lengths. J ekey Jackson being unable to hold the old flat runner hark. By the time the second round of the course had been complete.! Setauket had enough, and. coming near a cropper on the jump opposite the free field, dropped back to the rear. After the water Jump had been taken on the second time around there was a general closing up of the real racers. Northville. .Yluximlllian. Woolgathcrer and Bound Brook going over the Liverpool almost in a lomoact bunch. Frirm that nnlnt to the finish the race was exciting, and a grand contest to look It. On the last two jumps, out In the woods, Northvllle. Hound Brook and Maxlmillian went over in cavalry fashion, and when once on the flat for the run home Woolgatherer joine 1 the group. Coming down the stretch everybody was using his whip and spurs. Northfleld being on the rail, with Maxlmillian leading by half a length. Ray worked persistently on Woolgathcrer. and slowly worked his way past Bound Brook, then Maxlmillian, and finally crept up to Northvllle's shoulders. In the last dozen yards It was a case of the best Jockey. Ray finally lifting Woolgatherer under the wire first by a head. Close finishes in steeplechases are not common affairs, and the crowd in the grand stand ana dut> nouse swung tneir hats, yelled and danced around like Indians over the line contest. A Popular Victory. The most popular victory of the afternoon was that of Follow On. who was magnificently ridden by Mr. Dion Kerr. With a Washington horse and rider in the Alexandria steeplechase, the local bettors had a hard time chosing betweens Adams, owned by Billy Garth, and Follow On. and as a lesult the bookmakers got a scorching, as many turned to the latter jumper on purely patriotic lines. Allegiance acted as pacemaker over the tlrst jump, and then Punctual Jumped into the lead, while LifTey Bank was the next leader. Mr. Kerr kept Follow On in the first flight all the time, and was evidently closely watching the favorite. After getting over the big water Jump in front of the grand stand. Mr. Kerr probably concluded that Adams was a "false alarm." and shot Follow On to the front. The game mare took the last three jumps as clean as a whistle and came down the stretch leadins by two lengths over Allegiance, going under the wire a winner by the same distance. Mr. Kerr took matters easy In the l ist two furlonss. or he could nrubublv have won by several lengths, as he did not use 11is whip, while Hueston, on Allegiance, was whipping away for dear life, trying to get Ids mount up to the leader. Easy for Favorites. In the third race Mr. J. O'Brien put up a line ride on Gypsic and led almost from eturt to finish. The fifth race was also easy for Palm, wtio was nicely handled by Mr. Wilson, Spender falling and Precise not l>elnK strong enough to put up a contest worthy of the name. The final event, a two-mile affair on the flat, was won by Pete DaJtey, after quite u struggle to get away from Kathowen, the others being out of it from the start. Mr. Courtland Smith was the winning naer or mi' aay, capturing Doth of the Hat laces for amateur riders. Four favorites won and the "talent" went !:ome happy. Summaries. First race?

October 23.-The four couples who tied in the beat ball foursome at the initial meeting of the Eastern Professional Golfers' Association at Forest Hill on Tuesday afternoon met yesterday to decide the destiny of the cups for amateurs more than the distribution of the $75 for their professional partners which could have been divided. Mr. Walter Kobbe, Jr., the Baltusrol champion, and George Low, the professional engaged with the Short Hills organization, were strong favorites, but the best they could do was 76, while Mr. T. Crane, the none cracK, ana isernara wicnois proved the eventual winners, with a card of 72. The third pair were Mr. J. D. Foot and Herbert Strong of Apawamis. while "Will" Gaudin. who had tied on the previous day without the slightest assistance from his partner. Mr. F. J. En~er. had to play by himself, as the latter failed to put in an appearance. In other words, Gaudin had to play the best ball of his opponents, and on the outward jcurney, with H7, he was two strokes t>ehind Mr. Crane and Nichols and a stroke better than Mr. Kobbe and Jeorge Low. Cnminsr bark the strain told on the Poueh keepsie man and he had to b?- content with 42. This naturally put him out of court, but the capaballties of .np man, strurgling under such odds, were shown by his leading the eventual winners ten strokes at the completion of the first three holes. After dropping a stroke at the fourth he never seemed able to settle down again and at the fifth he not only sliced his drive but struck a tree on Ills second, which cost him six before holing out. Continuing, he was not favored in any way. and whenever he made a slight mistake he was severely punished. The partnership of Bernard Nichols and Mr. Crane proved a happy one, as whenever the one tipped up the other came to the rescue. Matters aid not work so well Willi air. ivouuc iiiiu ueurgc iiu?, as ca*.11 required six for the fifth hole, five for the twelfth and five for the seventeenth. Mr. Foot was of assistance to Herbert Strong at the third, eleventh and twelfth holes, and had the Apawamis professional pulled better his and his partner's score would have been materially Improved.

The finishing touches were put on all the big teams yesterday for the games tomorrow. Tonight the Cornell team will arrive In New York, while Princeton will spend the night at home and go to New York tomorrow morning. Harvard will also be In Gotham tonight, going up to Waof Inf In tha mArnlmr TKaq* fvn games, Princeton and Cornell at the Polo Grounds and Harvard and the army cadets at West Point, will hold the center of the stage. The other games, especially that between Pennsylvania and the Carlisle Indians, wnl be full of interest, however. The game at the Polo Grounds deserves a place among the most notable games of the year. With both teams living up to their reputation the contest should be as pretty as any to be played during the year. As an exposition of the possibilities of the now piilac hv tmA ovanlv mntrhpd tp?ms it Is of wide Importance. If either team should fail to do justice to this expectation anl the game develop In a one-sided or unequal contest. It would be a great pity. A failure to really test the efficacy of the new game would be generally regretted. At West Point Harvard Is believed to be strong enough to win a hard game rather easier than she has against the army before. The Crimson team, unless signs fall, is stronger than in years and pretty close to the top of the heap. How she performs against the cadets will be watched with Interest. Penn's backwardness, due to the uncertainty that has existed at quarterback, makes the Issue, of the game with the In uiuns very uncertain. ruies Lt-aiu n^s slumped and Is recovering; and ought to be able to win fairly handily against Amherst. The Navy-Bucknell game is not likely to be wildly exciting, but several minor games ought to be interesting, notably. I.afayetteColgate and Swarthmore-Gettysburg and Dartmouth-Williams. Slump at Harvard. CAMBRIDGE, Mass., October 26.?'The Harvard foot ball squad will leave for West Point today for^the annual game with the Soldiers. There Is small probability, however, that the Crimson team will begin the game with any feeling of ovenconfldence, because of the unsatisfactory showing it made against the second team on Soldiers' Field yesterday afternoon. In this wnrk th<? 'varsltv was snorptl on twice by the second team, reinforced by the presence of five coaches, Bowditch and Leary, ends; Biagden and Knowlton, tackles, and McFadon, guard. The first eleven made four touchdowns, but found the going much harder han at any previous time this year. The 'varsity did not get the plays ofT with the snap and smoothness that have been so much in evidence this fall. This may have been due to the weather, which was excessively sultry. Coaches Flock to Yale. NE\y HAVEN, October 26.?The slump of the Yale eleven has caused a rally of the coaches. Nine were 011 Yale Field yesterday?Rockwell, Hoyt, Roraback, Hinkey, Butterworth, Glass, Fred Murphy, Ely and Phamhprlln The center problem, which has been causing the most trouble, was smoothed out by dropping Erwin, right guard, and Dunbar, center. Hocke nburger, an old guard, returned to college after a week's absence, played at center, and showed to advantage. Holloway, who was a guard on the freshman eleven last year, was tried at right guard, but lacked finish. Glass and Roraback, who were responsible for the change, spent the whole afternoon working over these two men. Foster was at left tackle, and Forbes played left end like a whirlwind. Half the gains made by the 'varsity were due to his line bucking. Jones was unable to take his place at. right end, and Congdon seems to be a fixture. The 'varsity scored twice In the twenty minutes of play. The first score was made when Tad Jones caught a kick on the 'var any imriy-nve-yaru line, anu wiich la^hieu passed the ball on to Knox, who ran seventy yards for a touchdown. The 'varsity made the second score by taking the ball from the middle of the field on short but consistent gains. The scrimmage was the last before the Amherst game on Saturday. Tigers HaM at Work. PRINCETON, N. J.. October 20.?The Princeton foot ball eleven had Its final scrimmage work before the Cornell game yesterday afternoon, and a big crowd of undergraduates were on hand to watch the work and practice songs and cheers. The "varsity was strengthened by Rulon-Miller at halfback. His experience and speed h?o1?a a vo lll^hla Ko/>lr T n vaefar<1atr'a UiaAU (llltl a t U1UUW>\< UUVNl *U J Wd VVl work he was tried at both running "and kicking and showed excellent form and ability in both. The coaches say he will surely be used in the Cornell game, but whether at end or back they will not say. Daub was Rulon-Mlller's running mate, and they smashed the line and circled the ends for long gains. Eddie Dillon continued his good work. He ran back one punt for fifty yards, and then worked a quarterback kick for the remaining fifteen yards and scored the only touchdown in the flfteenminute scrimmage. Harlan and Tibbott played in >the backfield for a time, and showed their usual form. Tibbott did some star work running back punts. All the regular players were in tVi? flprlmmnfffl. nnrf pvprv nno r?nmA out of it in good shape for the game on Saturday. In the second half Stannard and Tlbbott were the only 'varsity men in the scrimmage. Cass. Tibbott and Moore were the backs under Dowd at quarter, and in a short half, aided by Tibbott's long run. scored a touchdown. In both halves the scrub fought valiantly, but the 'varsity squad was too fast and powerful. Martin had first call at right guard, the only disputed position on the Tiger eleven. Quakers Bracing TJp. PHILADELPHIA, October 26.-Yesterrtnv'H foot ball nractlce at Pennsylvania was most gratifying to the eleven's supporters. The team seemed to have awakened from its lethargic state of the past few days. The play was behind closed gates, and was In line with the work that Is being tried this week. The line took a brace, and Mike Murphy was particularly gratified at the fighting spirit displayed. Pennsylvania thus far seemed to lack the go that the teams have had In previous years, and It was the stamina of the 1904 team that was evident. The only criticism of the work of the line was the holding of which some of the men were guilty, Rogers, who substituted for Scarlett at right end, was particularly culpable, and neia <joie, tne oi(f scruo, repeaceaiy. The 'varsity rushed the ball for telling distances In the hard scrimmage which followed the preliminary work, and got the ball over the scrub goal line by end plays and line bucking on three different occasions. Draper again received another touchdown to his credit, while Folwell and Dyer each got one. Hollenback got his hands on the ball on a fumble and ran forty yards for a touchdown. The touchdown was not allowed, as the ball was the result of a forward pass mado by the 'varsity and had touched the ground before Hollenback got It. The play brought out this new point in the revised rules. The new<?)ays which were tried the first part of the week were not used and the tactics which won the Brown game were resorted to. r vDnwwr inn ftr ATT rwnr JUH AVM A V Vi*??

Sir Thomas was surrounded by representative American yachtsmen whose views on the advantage of seaworthy yachts over mere racing shells coincide with his own. He said he heartt'y enjoyed the distinction of dining with the members of the Brooklyn Yacht Club, whose boast it is that every salt of them can #111 a boat, anil the bluer the water and the further removed a port the better. Representatives from all the prominent local yacht clubs, and Commodore Trott of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club, cheered with :l sai'or's heartiness the implied verbal challenge of Sir Thomas. Tliey took from their sconces on the tables the ensigns of the several organizations and waved a friendly defiance to the owner of the three successive Shamrocks. More than 200 sailors were on hand to hear the hoped-for announcement. Bird S. Color, commodore of the Brook lyn Yacht Club, welcomed Sir Thomas and presented to him the club's flag embossed in enamel on a gold watch fob. and bearing in the center of the star a magnificent diamond. "Our welcome to the gallant sportsman who is our guest tonight comes from our hearts, because they recognize in you an Englishman who has made us Americans envious by the way you can get up and hustle," Mr. Coler said. "We hope we will have our way next time, and that the race will be a contest between real sea-worthy and serviceable vessels and not between mere racing machines." Sir Thomas is Qallant. Sir Thomas congratulated the Brooklyn Yarht flllh nn tha mannor in 5^ V. U bad conducted the vcean race to Bermuda a few months ago for which he donated a cup. and paid a gallant tribute to Mrs. Robinson, the American bride who accompanied her husband, skipper of the Gauntlet, which finished second in the race. "Your toastmaster has referred to my trying again for the American cup," Sir Thomas said. "X do not wish you to think that I have given up the idea of capturing that famous old mug. I am hopeful In the very near future of paving the way for another challenge. X shall never rest satisfied until that trophy takes a trip across the Atlantic, and I trust It may be a fourleaved Shamrock that may carry It back. Its ancestral home was across the water, and It has been a long time away. I pre ouuiu *<l ?o xiuw luusiucrcu <t citizen; out it has never taken out naturalization papers. "I am gratified that encouragement is arising for a more wholesome type of boat. The new American rule ol measurement provides for such a boat, such a one as would give.general satisfaction to all concerned. I hope that the next race will be sailed by boats built to conform to that rule. I hesitate to make a challenge, because of a certain resident of Tompkinsville." Hopes Lipton Will Win. Sir Thomas then told of his arrival off Tompkinsville with h!s first challenge. On that occasion a resident notified him of the birth of a son. On the day of Sir Thomas' arrival with Shamrock II the resident sent word of the coincldal birth of a daughter. With the arrival of Shamrock III came a third child to the man from Tompkinsvllle. "The man has just sent me word," Sir Thomas said, "that he hopes from the bottom of h'.s heart that I will take back the cup on my fourth attempt, or he'll be a busted citizen. 'I hope to be able to wear your badge next year during the racing season," Sir Thomas concluded. These closing words were taken as assurance that Sir Thomas had definitely decided to challenge under the new rule, and he did not dispel this Interpretation. NO HOSE "CLANSMAN." Philadelphia Will Have No More of the Play. A dispatch from Philadelphia says: Judge Sulzberger today refused to grant the Injunction restraining the mayor from Interfering with the play "The Clansman" at the Walnut Street Theater, and the house will remain closed. The judge said the testimony failed to show any misuse of the mayor's discretion ary power, wnicii was exercised after the threatened mobbing of the theater by negroes Monday night. After the decision of the court had been rendered Mayor Weaver declared that It was his Intention not to revoke the license of the theater for the remainder of the year, as he had previously announced. The threat to revoke was held over the theater In case such action should become necessary. The court's opinion, delivered by Judge Sulzberger, was a scathing arraignment of Rev. Thomas Dixon's methods. It was that the mayor had rightfully ex ercised judicial power, as h? Is the chief police officer of the city, and responsible for its orcter, peace and safety. The mayor could have done nothing else than stop the play, tne court said, if he feared the pJay incited to rtot. The court was of the opinion that beyond a doubt "t&e book and play had oeen written while the author waa laboring under a RAnflA of amnrttng wrorrsr and in a hAfttfd passion." Judge Sulzberger further said that, in the court's opTnlon, the tendency of "The Clansman" was to inculcate a belief that the negro Is a hopeless, unimprovable beast, not fit to live with a white man. He referred to some of Dixon's other productions advocating extermination of the negro on account of the great natural Increase of the race, which would at the end of the century drive the white people to action, and alluded to Dixon's belief that the negro should be driven out of the counr , * What Mertz Will Say 1 Daily at 6 P.

"This," the judge said, "was undoubtedly one of the ulterior motives of the play." Under the circumstances, said the court, there was nothing for the mayor to do but stop the play's production. The court room was Jammed to suffocation, a large part of the audience consisting of negroes, against whom "The Clansman" is said to excite a race prejudice. The members of their committee who were instrumental in having the doors of the theater closed occupied seats near the counsels' table. Rev. Mr. Dixon, the author of tho play, was among the witnesses called hv the attorneys for tbe Walnut Street Theater pompany. Mayor Weaver and Director of Public Safety McKenty, named as defendants, were present in person. Every now and then during the hearing Judge Sulzberger Interspersed characteristic witticisms and comments on the testimony. Business Manager Booth told of the occurrences last Monday night. "The only disturbance In the house." said Booth, "was caused by a colored man in the gallery. He threw an egg on the stage right after the curtain rose." Judge Sulzberger looked up with a surprised expression on his face. "Then your rules forbid the throwing of eggs?" he Innocently asked. "Yes, sir," came the reply very seriously. Committed to Jail. Edgar Fisk was In the Pclice Court yesterday before Judge Mullowny. and at the conclusion of the court's proceedings he was sentenced to Jail for ninety days for the larceny of an overcoat from Patrick H.
