New Orleans Republican. [volume] (New Orleans, La) 1867-1878, 1874-04-16
LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
Third Day of the Meeting,

There was fair attendance Yesterday
perhaps not quite so large as on the other
two days, but still a very nice attendance
hicular accommodations of the city had
been strained to their utmost to bring ont
the beauty and chivalry. The weather was
| slightly frowning in appearance. We had
a glimpse of sunshine, and then the clouds
would bank up again, and a close, hot
western wind would tell Of an imminent
| shower. The rain god stayed his hand, how
ever, and the day passed CT without neces-
stating resort to paracLu.es or WRAPS or
carriage aprons.
! For the first race a mile dash as pub
lished in yesterdays REPUBLICAN; there
were seven entries, but only six started:
John Mcdonald having been withdrawn or
| account Of lameness. Tie others, Quits,
Falmouth, o U, Chief Engineer, Revenge.
| and Chris Doyle, came to The post at the
call in good order, fresh and trolcso1ne.
The first effort at start resulted in Engi-
neer's running away, and he could only be
| checked after making the circuit OF the
course. The second attempt resulted the
same way, Engineer refusing to obey the
recall, and dashing around the track on his
own hook.
The next break got them we'll away TO-
gether. Falmouth getting the lead, o U
second, Quits third, Chris Doyle fourth, Re-
venge and Chief Engineer behind. At the
quarter U, who had tapped Falm o nth
for short distance, passed 10 first, leav ing
Falmouth second, Chris Doyle third, Ga it's
fourth, Revenge fifth and Engineer, the
runaway, already badly left. At the half
they were pretty well scattered, Lewis en-
tries being virtually on: Of the race. 1t
was herebouts that Qaits made play for
position, and went rapidly from fourth to
second place. At the threequarters @ uits
took front place. l o still pegged away
close second, Chris Doyle and Falm ou:h
fretting away in the immediate rear, Re-
venge at safe distance and the Eugin eer
out Of sight. The finish was quite neat and
pretty, Qaits winning by a half length the
other horses in the same positions as oted
at the three quarter pole.
The seco,d race, mile heats, for all ages
showed up five starters, Mary L. having
been Withdrawn by consent. In accord
ance with club rules, the fact that Lotta
Moore carried four pounds over weight was
duly and officially announced by the presi-
dent. Bets and pools on the bay FLY,
therefore. stand. At the ohstart, Lotta
Moore was slightly the favorite at SEQ to
So against Ortolan; Quartermaster br ing
ing only $lS, and the field $2l.@
The start for the first heat showed Or.o-
Ian at the fore, Qaarternaster we'll up
behind, Edwin Adams third, Fam outh
fourth, and Lotta Moore last. No change
20 the half mile, but here Lotta Moore took
fourth place from Falmouth. The pace was
now forced to its utmost, and at the three
quarters Ortolan was slightly leading
Quarternaster second, Lotta Moore and
Adams closely attached third, and Fal
mouth dropped astern. Coming down the
came side and side with Ortolan, until |
within few yards of the stand, when she |
plunged ahead and reached the score, W in |
ner Of the heat by half head; Ortoian |
second; Quartermaster fourth, and Fal.
mouth distanced.
Betting now got little wild. Some |
thought that Lotta Moore had been held |
back too long, and considered her good to
win if properly managed. Others banked
On the horse with the birds name as he had
already won twice and shown him self a
good enc to stay.
Edwin Adams a trife ahead, Ortolan
second, Quartermaster and Lotta Mo ore
'ide and side for third place. At the quart er
Adams still led, Ortolan second, Quarter
master third and Lotta Moore last. So to
lalf, Lolita dropping more and more astern.
Vt the thlee quarter Ortolan took first
lace, Edwin Adams ranging second, Lolita
loore putting on squirt and reaching to
ood third and the Quartermaster in the
ear as such gentry are usually found. At
ne finish Ortolan led by five lengths,
dams, second, Lotta Moore third and ,
.uartermaster last. ,
Discussion about the third heat showed ,
rtolan tavorite. Though very few bets ,
ere made.
As there were but two horses 70 run srec- 6
ation was narrowed down and the FLY
1peared 70 have few friends. The result :
lowed the correctness of this judgment for
rtolan took the lead at the start, at the
larter led two lengths, at the half forty
ards and conid nave augmented the dis '
nee had he wished. He came in a winner Y
an easy canter, six lengths ahead.
The third race was not of much interest. c
lent Friend had the call against Bessie d
se at four TO one, five to one and even ten
one. Bessie took the lead at the start, e
e Friend playing waiting race. He let II
e bay mare lead for two miles and half L
zen he swept easily to the front, coming n
winner without effort, clear length le
cad. We append cynopsis of the third n
