NOTES OF THE TURF. Mr. Howland, president of the Washington Jockey Club, believes that the present meeting will be the best in the history of the club. He says that the interest taken in the meeting is surprising. He looks for a large attendance from New York. That he will not be disappointed in this is assured by the request for accomodations from there. Men who have never before been to Bennings except, perhaps, for a day, have bought season tickets and that is the best sign. C. R. Ellison has experienced his first bit of hard luck preparatory to the 1904 season of racing in the death of his most promising yearling, a bay colt by Top Gallant Catharine of Navarre, for which he paid ,000. The youngster was ill at Lexington and died shortly after being unloaded from the cars on his arrival at Memphis. Carps Diem, Chicago. Daily Racing Form only gives show odds on the first three horses and on such unplaced ones as are at 4 to 1 or less. In the case quoted Parisi-enne was 3 to 5 to show. J. R. and F. P. Keene have ordered a number of their older horses, now in England, shipped to this country, but assert they have no intention of giving up racing across the water. Tuttle, Chicago. Wagers on Runnels separately were draws. Elsie L. place bets won but at less than the quoted odds. Wm. R., Chicago. Hayward Hunter was 1 to 3 to show, November 14. T. H., Chicago. No separate price was quoted.
