LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB RACES
Fifth Nay Of the Spring Meeting.

There was an eyidentfncrease in the num-
Der of visitors, with an increase in that por-
ton of the stand where ladies are seated.
There was an apparent good feeling among
those who attended, most Of the gentlemen
evincing free inclination to lay their
money on their particular choice. Betting
was general, and the favoEites found many
men to back them with cash in hand.
The weather was favorable, an occasional
cloud passing between earth and very
warm sun, while pleasant wind waited the
dust to one side. The balmy atmosphere had
wholesome effect on all present, creating
sociabiity that is really uncommon.
The first race was a dash OF one mile 1or
all ages, purse $500. The bills nominated
five entries, each one rating tolerabiy well,
but before the judges called out to saddle
up the Jennings entry, Silent Friend,
claimed that the animal was lame, and
could not go in consequence. consulta-
ton was held, and it was decided that the
Friend could withdraw. This brought club
rule No. into requisition for betters, which
saws: '!Bets on the field are Oft unless all
the horses advertised to run start That
is, those who took the field against named
horse could not lose or win-the bets were
off.
Frank Ross was the favorite by odds.
This horse led off at the start, Madame
Dudley second, Regulator third. Before
the half-mile post was reached the Madame
dropped out, apparently beaten up. Frank
Ross then had the Srace to himself, and he
took it, winning by length in l:47.
