Arrival of the Famous Mare Imp at Benning. Imp arrived at the Benning race track this morning from Chillicothe, Ohio, where she wintered, and will run during the com- ing meeting of the Washington Jockey Club, which commences at the Benning track next Monday, April 2. Imp fs a black mare by imported Wagner, her dam being Foundling, the daughter of Fonso. She is petehentnteteteenntetetttetetedaetns owned by Harness & Brosnan, and last year won the suburban handicap and other great races. She is not only very fast, hav- ing run a half mile in 46% seconds, but can also go a distance. By the great majority of horsemen Imp ts regarded as the great- est mare ever seen in America. She is in splendid condition, and will here be pre- pared for the big stake events of the sea- son. She will be ridden here by Clay, and is accompanied by her colored attendant, whose famillar cry of “Let her sleep, boy,” as she approached the finish was permitted oe year by a special rule of the Jockey ‘tub, Upon the arrival of the great mare at the Benning track this morning she was accorded quite a reception, a large crowd of horsemen and others awaiting her com- ing. She is entered in the Benning handi- cap, which fs to be run here on the opening Gay of the coming meeting, when she will start for the first time this season. ——.__. Unterrified, From the St. Louis Republic. Senator-elect ‘Joe’ Blackburn is famed far and wide for his apparently inexhausti- ble fund of anecdotes. “The senator has an unconscious streak of humor and some good stories are told on him which he never recited,” said a prominent blue grass poli- tician the other day, “I remember when Mr. Blackburn was practicing law in Ken- tucky, which may show that he fears noth- ing. A young fellow came into his office, and, after showing some recommendations and expressing a longing desire to get work of some kind, was given an opportunity to do something. Mr. Blackburn handed him a writ and told him to go to a certain house and serve the paper on the tenant. ‘Now, don’t come back and say you couldn't find him,” he cautioned. ‘Nail it to the door if you have to, but serve it.’ The eager young man started out and returned an hour later minus his hat and collar and with his faco covered with bruises and his clothes torn into shreds. Blackburn, ‘did you “Well,” said Mr. serve 1t?” < “No, sir,’ replied the battered employe. “The tenant licked me and told me to bring the paper back to you.’ Blackburn arose from his chair, and, tow- ering up with indignation, said: ‘Here, suh, take that writ back and serve it on that tenant, suh, and tell him for me, suh, that by —,, suh, he can’t intimidate me through you, suh.’* ———-o+-______ Minister—“What do you think of that, Jane?

IMP, THE BLACK WONDER, AT THE TRACK Every Stall on the Grounds Occu- “gpied. Bok MONDAY The eastern racing season of 1900 will be maugurated at the Benning race course Monday next, when the fifth spring meeting of the Washington Jockey Club will open. The meeting will continue daily until Sat- ENTRIES urday, April 14, the concluding day, and | there will not be less than five races run each day. Following its usual custom, the club will take the races over the jumps a feature of the meeting, and as about the best “timber toppers” in training are quartered at the track, some of the best races ‘between the flags” of the year will be run here. Every stall at the Benning track is occupied, and so many horses have arrived here that it has been found necessary to utilize many of the stables at the old Ivy City track. About all of the prominent eastern jockeys will ride during the meeting, and the results of the racing will be watched with unusual in- terest, as most of the horses engaged will start here for the first time this year. The Famous Imp. Among those to start here for the first time this season is that great mare Imp, the famous daughter of the imported Wag- ner and Foundling. The “black wonder,” as Imp is called, by winning last year’s “Suburban” and other great eastern stake events demonstrated that she is not only speody but also a stayer. Indeed, by the great majority of horsemen she is consid- ered the greatest mare ever seen on the American turf, second not even to Firenzi, Thora or Miss Woodford, those queens of the turf of years gone by. Here Imp will be prepared for this year’s Suburban, and as she is said to Be tn first-class shape, she 1s expected to start in the Benning handi- cap Monday, wher she wiH carry the top weight, 132 pounds. Those she will meet in this race are Sidney Lucas, whose phenom- enal work here last fall as a two-year- old gained him quite a local following; “Pa Bradley's Boney Boy, son of the “iron horse,” Blitzen; Charentus and others. The race, a spin of stx furlongs, will be one of unusual interest, and despite Imp’s marvelous speed and welght-carrying abill- ty, not a few horsemen claim that she will not by any means have a walk-over. Mars Cassidy to Start. Mr. Mars Cassidy of this city will start the horses during the meeting, and the regular Jockey Club officials will preside. Mr. S. 8. Howland, the president of the local elub, to whose untiring energy and vigilance the success of the organization is in no small part due, will be the pre- siding steward, his associates being Mr. Samuel Ross, the vice president of the club, and Mr. Jesse Brown of the executive committee. The club's policy of rigidly excluding disreputable characters will be followed, and the same pains heretofore taken to provide for the comfort of la- dies will be put forth. The attendance of the fair sex has been very large at the previous meetings ofthe club, and a still larger number is expected during the com- ing meeting. The first race will be started at 3:20 p.m. each day, at an hour which will enable most people to see every race. Special trains direct ta the track will leave the 6th street station at’ 2:04, 2:30 and 8:15, while the Columbla allway electric cars will run direct to the grounds without change every two minutes.

President Powers of the Eastern League and Manager Barnie of the Hartford base ball club were back in New York last night with the situation pertaining to the Baltimore and Washington franchises in about the same shape it was three weeks ago. That this state of affairs is not al- together satisfactory may be judged by the statement which President Powers made last night to the correspondent of the Bal- timore American. Said he: “I have ceased worrying over Baltimore, and feel that having done my duty toward the Eastern League, I am about through. My visit to Baltimore did not result in anything definite being done, for the simple reason that McGraw and Robinson were in New York while I was in Balti- more, and I, therefore, did not see them at all. I left the matter entirely in the hands of Mr. Barnie, to do as he liked after a consultation with Colonel Rogers in Philadelphia. -As president of the league I paved the way for g Baltimore club, and now if the National Seacue insists on im- tee terms, the fault will not be mine. regret not havi seen McGraw and Robinson, but Barnf€ doubtlessly laid the whole matter before ¢hem for their final decision. The pros; is not very bright for an Easter elub in Baltimore this season.” i Barnie said upon arriving in New York that his talk with Colonel Rogers had not brought mattergsto a; head for the reason that Rogers cogfd not act until after con- sultation with the cirruit committee of the National League, which was scattered about the country. He is to have a defi- nite answer from circuit committee before the Eastern Li le meeting in New York Monday ag to & modification of the terms for the lease ‘gf Union Park. Bar- nie's Baltimore friends, who are willing to back an Eastert/Té: club in Baltimore, are balking at the for the Baltimore grounds. 4 Barnle said h& talked over the situation with McGraw aid Robinson, and they were favorably disposed toward his scheme. He said that McGraw and Robinson would in- terpose no obstacles to hig success in Bal- timore, but that they would certainly have no financial interest in the Eastern League club. The only real obstacle to Barnie’s plans for a club in Baltimore is the de- mand of the National League for an exor- bitant price for the grounds. “The situation,” said Barnte, “has not changed a particle In the past week. The National League must modify its terms, or there will be no league bali in Baitimore for the coming season.” AMONG THE FIGHTERS. ‘Walcott Scores an Easy Win Over Walsh.

Walsh, who had only trained six days, w: substituted in place of “Myster- ious Billy” Smith, who was too ill to go on with Walcott. Walcott weighed 142 pounds and Walsh 154. Walcott was a favorite at 2 tol. From the word go Walcott was on the 2g- gressive. and he punished Walsh badly about the body and over the kidneys. In the seventh round he sent Walsh to the floor with a right-hand swing on the nec The Brooklyn man regained his feet quic: and went back at the negro, whose eye was almost closed from a hard straight left- natrom this to the end of the bout Walcott let up somewhat on his aggresslyeness, but at intervals he let go some terrific punches, all of which made Walsh stagger.” Walsh's legs were in bad condition, and he fell to He took his draught and exclaimed, Fine!

CG. his knees three or four times through weak- ness, but gamely went on despite terrific punishment, and was fighting at a fair rate of speed when the bell ended the bout, The Judges agreed on Walcott as the winner. Ruhlin Wins From Kenny. “Gus” Ruhlin defeated “Yank” Kenny tn the sixth round of their fight at the Coli- scum, Hartford, Conn., last night. The contest was a shigging match. Ruhlin was the quicker on his feet, but he had no more steam in his blows than Kenny. In the third round Kenny went down from a punch on the jaw, and in the sixth he dropped from a body blow. He seemed to be in pain, and did not rise until after the tenth count. Sullivan Bested by Callahan. The six-round bout in Philadelphia last night between David Sullivan of Boston and Timothy Callahan of Philadelphia was stopped by the referee in the third round and Callahan was given the decision be- cause of Sullivan repeatedly hitting in clinches. The men had agreed to break away cleanly. Callahan had the better of the bout as far as it went. A Quick Finish at Chieago. William Stift, the Chicago middleweight, knocked ,out Al Weinig, the Buffalo bi- cyclist pugilist, in a minute and a half last night in Chicago. Not more than half a dozen blows were struck. Stift floored his man in the second exchange with a left swing to the jaw, again with a right, and out with a right to the chin. In the preliminaries “Dick” O'Connell of Buffalo won from the veteran William Ma- han of San Francisco, in the fourth round, on a foul, ——__ TENEMENT AND TENEMENTS, The Difference Between Those in Vir- sinia, Maryland and New York. “A few days ago,” said J. Foster Dugrow, ® prominent Gotham landlord, “The Star Published a dispatch of the burning of a New York tenement house and the loss of over a dozen lives by burning. That same evening a gentleman wha owns a large plantation in Virginia. showed me a telegraphic message from his manager stating that the tenement house on the place had been destroyed by fire, and re- questing his presence at home. “The meaning of the word ‘tenement’ house, as applied to a place of abode, has @ vast deal of difference in Virginia and Maryland, where nearly every large plan- tation has one or more ‘tenement’ houses, from the ‘tenement’ house of New York or Chicago, especially in New York. “In the states named, the tenement ts oc- cupied by one family, generally a renter, sometimes a dependent. In New York it is the abode of from ten to forty families, crowded in usually four families to a floor, with about three rooms to each family. The regulation tenement houses are from four to six stories in height, and where the entrance and hallway are in the center they are termed ‘double deckers.” are ining miles. Italian quarter one and two rooms will suffice for a family. “This class of property is among the choicest of New York real estate because of its steady rent producing capacity. @ swell up-town t is maintained and hundreds of stylish women are gowned, bejeweled, fed and housed from the income their husbands or fathers derive from the rents that come from the poor and the squalid. “Every few days we read of a fire In @ New York tenement house and of from one to a dozen inmates being burned or suf- ‘ d. Most of the deaths are caused by cation. The fire the front ear of these human bee hives save hundreds of lives. Steep hallways, with the air shafts, form perfect the flames smoke, which bursting and puffing from the upper stories almost taneously with the lower. The poor w and overcome in thei: ina trap. The fire within my memory r metamor- phosed the appearance of New York's streets. They are now to be seen upon a buildings and houses, business and other- wise, uptown and down town, and are cer- tainly architectural ddisfigurements, if necessary ones. “I notice that there are no tenements in Washington as we understand the term. You folks here don't know what it is even like to picture life in the tenement quarter of New York. It is a condition as foreign to your lovely city as it is remote in dis- tance. “However, the apartment house is sim- Ply @ superior kind of tenement house, whether the rent per apartment is $3,000 or $00 a year. I should think apartment houses in Washington, especially corner _— would be a very profitable invest- ment.” Any Weak Person Can Gain Strength on Grape-Nuts. RRAGERARTRRRR: A member of the Chicago Press Club, Mrs. F. M. Black, 76 26th street, Chicago, says she has ob- tained so much benefit from Grape-Nuts food that abe wishes to offer a voluntary testimonial: ““Three months sgo I had an illness which reduced me greatly. When convalescent 1 wanted a great deal to eat, but nothing seemed to satisty me. “Very soon after a meal I felt that sense of emptiness, ‘an aching void,’ as it were, though really not hungry.
