LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB RACES.
Third Day Of the Spring Meeting.
The interest in the new course does not
abate in the least; quite the contrary, I'M
proves with each day. Those who visited
this track on the first and second days
made good report to their friends, and al
ready this club stands prominent, not only
in racing circles but outside. The managers
abide by the adopted rules, and make their
friends follow suit.
Yesterday the weather was auspicious,
though perhaps trife warm and dusty.
The track was in prime condition for racing,
and the contesting nags seemed to under
stand that important fact
At three o'clock last evening the grand
stand was pretty well filed by people OF
the better classes, who all appeared to be
entertained
For the first race, the following is the
SUMMARY.
FIRST R0ce-Dash of two miles, for all

This was an exciting race, Mamie Doug

while the others were scarcely mentioned

Conductor went to the front, Madam Dud
ley, at the halfmile post, toward the real
But she picked up and gained smartly
On the first half-mile Mamie came in ahead
while the Madam found a clear place t
get all the dust, Tom COrbett second. MOI
lacchi was not idle the time, watching TO
an opening in the second mile, and went
the front, Madame close up, the horses run
ming close together.
On the second heat, MOrlacchi felt good
and went to the front, maintaining he
place, though disputed by the Madam
Conductor third, and Wanderer fourth.
On the third mile Morlacchi again led O
prettily, followed closely by Dudley, bu
she was unable to gain on Morlacchi an
portion worth mentioning, and the race wa
between these two, for Wanderer and Cor
ductor could not gain place. Comrn
under the string Mcrlacchi led Dudle
about three lengths, moving along cont
dently. This was as pretty race as tn
most inveterate turfman could ask to see
and those vino placed their money on tn
favortes fell quite heavily.
There was an apparent error in the tim
given yesterday in the second race. IL
stead Of 3:44 it should have read $40.
