LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB.
THIRD DAY.
Splendid Sport.


inc the unanspicious lookout overhead, they were
amplv repaid for daring the elements. The track
was in AZ fine : condition as on yesterday, and
perhaps q tri.ie better, as the dampness OF the
atmosphere has tendency to lay in some de-
pree the dust and to add to the elasticity OF the
ground.
The programme offered was sufficient to guar
aptee good sport and as at the pools last night
betting was quite lively. The Hurdle race, which
was the first attracted the entire attention OF the
ladies' and the numbers IT small wagers laid
upon the jockey with the prettiest suit is beyond
This seems to be the criterion by
which the Eair ones judge Of the merits OF
racers.
THE FIRST RA<I..
The entries in the hurdle race were Biloxi,
Chris Doyle, Capt. Jack, Astrapee, Mary Forrest
and Huntress, the distance, two miles over eight
hurdles. Before the start, Biloxi was a hot favo-
rite, and his hackers found difficulty in getting
takers against the field. IU'the start Capt. Jack
dashed to the front and led over the first hurdle,
cloeely followed by Chris Doyle, Biloxi third,
Huntress fourth, Mary Forrest fifth and Astrapee
sixth.
In this order they swung into the back stretch,
ct as the third hurdle asneared Biloxi passed
hris and made for the Captain. Retaining the
,me relative positions they passed the stand for
70 first mile, all going we'll and the pace easy.
n the second mile they let out little OF their
are speed, and left poor Astrapee far in the rear
except the gray eclt apparently running
lily. On the back stretch of the second mile
captain, struggling hard, had to succumb to
tfavorite, who now took the third hurdle and
kround the turn. The last hurdle he sailed
O in easy style, clozely followed by the Cap
ts Coming home, there was no change in
IL positions, and Biloxi landed under the
stg winner in $3.50, Capt. Jack second and
u third.
SECOND RACE.
The pools on the track Ballinkeel ruled the
iavtc 100 to 20. The entries We're Carrie p,
Faluth, Col. Michigan, Rainy Day and Balm
keend the distance two miles. At the start,
Falnth had little the best OF it, but the horses
wero closely punched it was difficult to say
whithad the advantage. Passing the first
quar-, Ballinkeel led Falmouth, making it hot
for l. Tho bay ran close behind, evidently
forci the pace and keeping the horses up to
theirrk. On the-b back stretch Carrie P. passed
Falm.h and took second place, the bay hang
ing cher rear with tenacity. There was no
changes they passed under the string and
turneatO their second mile.
As t. went by the first quarter the following
was IL. order Ballinkeel, Carrie P. and Fall
mouth ok and neck, Rainy Day third, Michigan
fourth. falmouth on the stretch dropped be-
hind, gag place to Carrie. Running splendidly,
they roled the ta-n and made for home, Bal
lnkeel ng undoubtedly the winner before the
last quar- was passed.
They ssed the stand as follows: Ballinkeel
leading lengths, Carrie P. second, Falmouth
third, N'gan fourth, Rainy Day last. Time,
$40.
T3-IRD RACE.
Perhal more than any other Of the days
events + excited the most interest OF the
TURTLES. -cat races always attract greater in
terest h. than dashes, and our people appre
ciate lom distances much more than split
miles. Eta Moon was the favorite in the pools,
and so codent did her hackers seem that they
challengepponents at almost any odds.
There y some delay in the start, but after
several atnpts they got off, not exactly as well
asmight The race was mile heats, best three
in five. usual Tom feathers was ahead at
the start, 'eet Bay second, the rest in bunch.
At the it quarter Lolita Moon took the lead
easily, Crn Prince pressing her closely, Tom
third, Swt Bay fourth, Port Leonard last.
These posins they retained until they came
and won fcth. Time: l:455.
Second ht---Sweet Bay got the start, but
was son hded by I4Gtta, Crown Prince struS,-
CLING at heside. At the quarter the Prince led,
rial scion 1t his pace, followed closely BY Lot
IA, Bay thir In this order they came home.
Crown Prin winning east Y, Lolita second, Sweet
Bay third. o close was this heat contested that
1t was almoimpossible for any excepting the
judges to eide whether it was the Prince
ahead or noand the decision was received with
some show'f dissatisfaction. The time was
again 1:455.
Third Hes-At the start Port Leonard took
the lead, b. gave way after passing the first
quarter 70 Lta, Crown Prince being second. 1t
was excltings the five rounded into the home
stretch, no le being able to say which was
ahead: Lott showing herself a slayer, won by
good lengt Time E46t.
