expectations was ho first army service race test a contest designed to determine the stamina gen rraU fitness clas and type of the American cavalry horse This test took pierce yesterday the start and finish at the Benning race course the contest being held under the auspices of the Washington Ridins and Hunt Club The striking feature of this oontest and one that stands out boldly is the positive demonstration of the superiority of i lie thoroughbred as a horse foi general army service This was conceded by nrmy officers and others yesterctay afternoon when a thoroughbred St Angelo that had raced from his 2 yean otd form until two years ago finished twvnty minutes ahead of the fifteen other horses hat entered the contest The thoroughbred surely won his place fluxing the lay not only by the splendid perform ince of St Angelo but by the performances of others which easily outclassed he other cold blooded horses that congested Lost Through an Accident It was a matter of general regret that St Angelo could not be declared the winner but under the conditions the horse had to be penalized for an unfortunate occurence at the in and out Jump a few miles from the finish where his rider Lieut St John GreAle military attache at the White House slipped nff his mount to keep the horse from going dows for which rfc suffered a penalty of four points Aflsr more than two hours discussion and deliberation the judges awarded the first placei to Maj Henry Aliens thoroughbred Razzie Dazzle II ridden by the owner which rame in second along with Masterpiece another thoroughbred ridden by Capt Rhodes rf ihe Fifteenth cavalry The second place was given to Capt Verne LaSalle Rockwells Mariposa a horse that Is sven elghths thorougbred and was shipped to Washington for the special purpose of starting in the service test Society Out in Force The service st was one of seven unusually interesting eontests on the closing day of the Hunt Clubs inaugural meeting and the attractions offered brought out a big attendance of society folk Scores of army officers were on hand to see their comrades ride and there were hundreds of brilliantly frowned women who thronged the clubhouse lawn and grand stand Benning has not in many years presented a mon attractive picture than It did yesterday Kvrryhody who figures in the elite of Washington was there and there were many moro from New York Philadelphia and other cities A feature that was not on the program hut one that occasioned a great deal of interest was the visit of two army aeroplanes driven by Lieut Milling and Capt Chandler The two flying machines arrived in the middle of the afternoon and Lieut Milling descended in the infield later returning to College Park Overshadowing even the steeplechases not only in the attention of the army set but to the public and the men who make racing a pastime and business was the service test The sixteen contestants and all were unusually fine looking animals the pick of the army were cheered when they were sent on their 14 mile Journey by Starter Frank Bryan and just 69 minutes later when Lieut Greble entered the grounds a round of applause went up that lasted until the officer had made the circuit of the steeplechase field and dismounted in front of the grand stand It was not until twenty minutes after ward or a lapse of one hour and ten minutes from the starting time that MaJ Allen and Capt Rhodes rode leisurely into the Benning infield and sauntered over the steeplechase course winding up at the judges stand with their horses going at a gentle gallop The other contestants came in at Intervals and there was apparently no effort on the part of any of the riders with the exception of Lieut Greble to finish as soon as possible Lieut Grebles father Col Greble of the general staff of the army although fourteenth at the finish was given the third place All in Excellent Condition In deciding the winner and the place horses the judges who were army officers and civilians the latter Including Mr Perry Belmont and Mr Redmond Stewart of Baltimore were influenced entirely by the rules which provided that the awards should be made upon the performance of the horses during the ride and the condition of horses and riders at the finish Maj Allen and Razzle Dazzle were the only ones who were given excellent for both horse and rider St Angelo was conceded to be among the freshest of the horses but the penalty imposed for his rider falling put him out of the contest A striking feature of the test was the generally good condition of horses and riders There was hardly an animal if any that could not have gone on for another 14 miles and the remarkably good condition of the riders showed that the army possesses among officers some horsemen who can hold their own in any country Course a Difficult One The course of the service test was across country for 3 miles with nine obstacles at intervals 9 miles over roads nnd trails and 2 miles on turf and track This course led the horses and riders through many difficult places at one a steep bank with an angle of 60 degrees having to be taken while at another the horses had to flounder through a bog half a mile long where they went down to their hocks in mud With all the difficulties and rough riding however there was not a single accident and every one of the sixteen contestants finished within the time limit The test was pronounced by the army men as a gTeat success and it will be a feature of the future meetings of the Hunt Club Records of the Horses St Angelo the first horse to finish was a successful racer In Texas as a 2 year old never being defeated in his first year on the turf He won steeplechases later in his career and is now 7 years old having bepn used as a service animal in San Antonio Tex for the last two years Maj Allens Razzle Dazzle II never was raced but has been used as an army horse for the last two or three years He was foaled in Virginia stands 16 1 2 hands high

came in the Washington Riding and Hunt Club cup steeplechase at 3 miles in which there were but three starters Guardian Garterette and Du pree Garterette was the choice over Guardian and these two were the contenders after Dupree had made the pace for a mile and then retired Tommy Wright rode Guardian with much skill and turning for home it appeared as if he had the race at his mercy Mr Al pers

SCOUR CI1Y FOR GIRL Searchers in Autos Fail to FiniMissing Patient FtEES E0M A SANITARIUM Miss Mamie Bayne Who Entered Ta koma Park Hospital for Nervousness Disappeared Early Yesterday Sister Fears She May Have Killed Herself Not a Trace of Her Found Half a dozen men with automobiles scoured Washington and its suburbs last night searching tor Miss Mamie Bayne 28 years old of Broad Branch road who mysteriously disappeared from the Washington Sanatarium at Takdma Park yesterday morning So far the searches of the hospital authorities the frantic sister Miss Agnes Bayne and the Washington police have proved fruitless The doctors said last night that Miss Bayne had come to the sanitarium a week ago suffering from a severe nervous breakdown and that she was under no restraint The home of every friend of the famijy and almost every place that the young woman could go for shelter was visited yesterday and last night and every one warned to look out for the girl It is feared that her mind has become deranged and that she is wandering about aimlessly Miss Bayne Is entirely Tutithout money according to her sister who can offer no reason for the cause of the invalids complete disappearance unless it Is that the girl does not know what she is doing Nervous for Six Months For six months said Miss Agnes Bayne at her apartments in the Toronto last night my sister has been suffering from extreme nervousness and at her own volition she entered the sanitarium in the hope of being cured The doctor told me this morning when I called up to ask my sisters condition that she had disappeared This was the first that I knew of it From my conversation with the doctor I judged that she had become dissatisfied and Just left As the day drew along and we did not hear from her I feared that something had happened to her She may have become despondent and killed herself or perhaps she Is seeking shelter with some friend who has not notified us There is no reason in the world why she should wish to hide I am sure that she is in the city somewhere for she left the hospital early yesterday morning and was without money Miss Bayne lived with her father at Broad Branch road until she entered the sanitarium She has besides Miss Agnes Bayne another sister Miss Emily Bayne who is employed at the bureau of engraving and printing 1000 FOR TITANIC ARCH Mrs James McMillan Sends
