600. 1t is generally believed that
Gibson, Conservative, has defeated
Snyder. Republican, for Congress, in

by from 5000 to 5000 majority The
Republicans estimate their majority
in the State at 10000 or less. The vote
for Congressman in the Third, Fourth,
Fifth and Sixth Districts will be very
close from present Indications. Gov

will carry the State by 4 good majori-
ty, and elect probably five, and possi-
bly, six congressman. Governor Nc
Emery thinks the State has gone Con-
servative with three congressman.

the city vote, but it is thought the

tives who have $1,000 majority. Re-
ports from Parishes are meagre, but
show Conservative gain. The indi-
cations are that the State vote is

jockey have been ruled off the track
on account of the jockey pulling the
horse i'll the last race. The last race
was grand steeple-chase for a purse
of $500, about two and one-half miles.
This was the most interesting of the
day. There were thirteen entries, in
cluding Trouble and Monstone, the IA
vorites, against Green's Harry Booth,
Ayres' Blind Tom and Davalo and
Lorillard's Resolute and Austrian,
Little Mary Clark, Tully's Vesuvius
and Cattanack's Impecunious. At
the start Trouble took the lead and
maintained it throughout the race.
All the horses took the hurdles in fine
style, following each other in close
succession. No accident happened,
except that Blind Tom lost his rider
going over stone wall. The race
was won by trouble, with Davalo half
length behind and Resolute third.
