METAIRIE JOCKEY CLUB RACEs-FIFTH DAY
the prayers Of all good lovers Of the turf could have
been ecaciou of the result sought they could not have
produced bright balmy and beautiful day than
that which was enjoyed Saturday brought together
more crowded and brilliant aasenblage than the one
then congregated at the Metaire Course The ladies'
stand was orerowng with beauty and female loneliness
and white kids and Champagne there won and lost
in the most amusing The members' stand was
also thicky populated while the great etand was more
thronged than has been for years past The space in
the rear of the stands almost wholly blocked up with
carriages and great number planted in the field
near to the Judges stand 1t highly gratifying
witness 80 strong evidence Of the returning regard for
the sports of the turf
The occasion was indeed worthy the honor maid ta II
thae1 the winner of four mile than almost
any horse ever started and peculiar favore here with
all classes ie tried in many contests Of speed
and snguarly successful in his efforts together with
Louis Oh, whose unfinching perseverance and wonder
fa powers Of endurance generally known were
teredor thearge purse and the longest race OF the
SON. Their merits were familiar to all They have all
repeatedly run together and each has been successful
over the other Nevertheless there no favor
lite against the field odds was laid with much care
and hesitation. We think the field generally laid
against Chaime and Chdrmer bet at about TIVE to
against either named horse Ret5e pretty strongly
backed against Louis Dor. The track was in good
dition though far from being decidedly good
FIRST sdt-Rt5e went of with the lead followed close
by Louis Dor. At the beginning of the back stretch
the old mare went by and through the heat without
any effort being made to pass her Lous D. Or laid t the
heels Of Re throughout and all three came in about as
fresh as when they started There was good de al of
dissatisfaction expressed at the in which the heat
was run but s far from evident that any other tactics
would have succeeded better Louis d. Or could not Gro w
Cha'ae from the fact that he hasn't the speed and
running entirely in the hope of broken heats in hic
his never failing endurance might win him the laurels
Neither could Re afford to hazard the interests of his
friends by conduct which could not have won the heat
and would have rsked the position of which he felt
IN lact ooth horses ran against the possibility of Chaes
letting down. because. when in right trim she now as
she always has been the better of the three The time
made was o21-Yery good for trotting course After
the heat Chdrm became the fayorite against the field
with long odds top and Re6e led Louis Dor at three
and four to one.
Second Heat-Loais Dor led the cumming into the
back stretch with ReuJe not length behind At the
close OF the first half mile Case had passed both and
se cleared the way for them into the back stretch of the
tourth nie when Reitte made push at by and beyond
os an the old mare too and had the front to the
mencement Of the home stretch But the old mare
proved herselt once more to be the better horse The
instant the turn fairly cleared she .ade push at
her eompeter and flying by the nd with all her
dspeed and ease-winning the heat by about three
leagths and Of course winning the also The pop
ular heart which, however the popular pocket might
nave BEEN bad remained faithful in its partia ties to
old ana heroine of many successful contests
gave stteranee to general Joy by cheers as loud long
hearty as any that rolled from the sta md of TIL
Metaire. The time was 7431s
