Metairie Jockey Club Race

| The Metalrle races commenced yesterday, under
| propitious circumstances. We had fine weather,
fine attendance, and two fine races The rain the
night before had made the course too heavy for fast
time, but all else was favorable to the sport.
A sweepstakes was first in the order of proceed
| lngs, and 1t was one of uncommon value, there
| being eight subscribers at $1O00-forfeit $780,
Three only came to the post, namely: Rigadoon
from the Red River stable of Messrs. Wells & Car
nal; MIR. Szymanski's Temptation, and Mr.. Minors
| famous colt Voucher. Voucher was decidedly the
favorite among the betting men, and as we under
stood, 1t was even on him against the field. The
first heat was the most interesting one run during
the day. Temptation and Voucher singled them
selves out early for the contest, and made it bril-
liant one. For full mile and half the struggle
was very animated. The heat was won by Temp
tation in 400s to the total discontinue of Vouchers
hackers.
Odds were now given on the fy for the money
100 to 80 was the current rate. The contest was
much less animated than in the previous heat, and
Voucher won it in Ala. Temptation struggled
for this heat, but being unable to win it, was pune
tually Withdrawn. Voucher at once regained his
position as first favorite in truth, no one would ac-
cept the odds now offered on him. He took the
third heat pretty handily in 4:14a.
There were three entries for the second race but
only two much named in the betting Dou5loon,
who was first favorite, and Buena Vista. The
contest was rather interesting between these two,
but not exciting. Doubloon outfooted the filly,
winning in two heats, each being run in 4:Ola.

All serious danger from the high watsr Of the
river has, for the present, we are happy to say,
disappeared, and unless some sudden and unexpec-
ted rise occurs we shall be in safety for the rest of
the year. No great injury has been suffered, except
in the parish of East Baton Rouge, where, we
understand, the damage has been very heavy, some
of the plantations having been entirely thrown out
of cultivation for time to come, and all more
or less injured. The levees, we have been informed
by the indefatigable State Engineer, who has Just
returned from tour of inspection, are generally in
a good condition. Red River has fallen consider.
ably and the accelerated current of the Mississippi
below the Raccourci cutoff is believed sufficient
tocarry of the water without an overflow. 1t may
not be uninteresting to the reader to know the
opinions of scientific and practical man, one who
n well acquainted with the topography of the State,
as to the cause of this late alarming state of the
river in lower Louisiana, while there is no extra
ordinary stage of water above. Col. Williams, the
State Engineer, attributes it mainly to the Red
River and Raccourci cut-offs. He states it az a
fact within his knowledge that the country border
ing on the Atchafalaya, where the water for a
breadth of seventeen miles, was over two feet deep
in 1923, running in rapid stream to the Gulf the
land, during the whole of this year, has been from
six oseven feet above high-water mark the whole
body of the water that formerly found an outlet in
that direction having been precpitated by the cut
offs above referred to- into the main channel of the
river below. The policy of the State having inter-
fered with the regulations of Nature by making the
cutof, it will be necessary to do something to re-
Ieve the river from the effects of these improve.
ments and it strikes that the best way to do this
will be to deepen the mouths of the river, and to
make lateral channels on both sides below Fort
Jackson. The distance from the river to the Gulf,
at any point below the Fort, cannot be more than
three miles and in that distance the fall which the
stream now has in seventy miles, from the Fort to
the mouth, will be obtained. The immediate relief
which would be given to the waters above would
be very considerable, perhaps enough to restore
something like the former equilibrium. IT, in ad- |
1ition to this, the bayou Manchac could be opened
we think that there would be no great danger for
the future.
