THE LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB
The Closing Day.

stand was well crowded with the fair ones fol
some time before the first bell sounded, and the
public stand showed great increase over the
previous days attendance.
Long before the appointed hour the road was
made lively BY the many teams bound towards
the track freighted with the beauty aud elite Of
the city. 1t was evident tina. the occasion was a
gala one for the fair ones, for in anticipation OF
the coming sport, dozens Of kid gloves were Wa
gered on the events of the day By these novces
in turf sport. On the track, before the first bell,
it was evident that this Was the GROWING day OF
! the citing.
The ladies' stand sbone out like some garden
Of roses in the setting sunlight, tinsing the re-
splendant colorS with marked effect.
First Race,
For the Howard stakes, of ell tho entries,
eight showed to the front. They were follows:
3Ialmiztjc Mediator, Tecalo, Crab Orchard,
Harry EdWardr, Ashby, Charley Rowett ED
Amanda Warren The pubic We're somewhat
puzzled il defining the several contestants, for,
notwithstanding the strict rula OF the Jockey
Club, Mr. Stewards mounts did not carry the
colors laid down in the programme.
| After several attempts tolerable start was eff
| lected, Grab Orchard jumping to the lead, TecalO
close in his rear, the rest in bunch behind
| At the first quarter Tecao put on spurt, and
led the crowd, Orchard second Harry Edwards
| doing his best third.
| Down the back stretch Tecalo had TO succumb,
Malmizic showing good speed and pushing fof
| the front Coming home Mamlztlc worked to
| the front, winning the heat; Mediator second
Tecalo good third, with Crab Orchard, Harry
| Edwards, RoWett, Ashby and Amanda bringing
| up the rear. Time, 1853.
| Second Race.
In tho consolation purse the nine nominations
came to the string, all looking ready for the con-
| test. They were Laura, Carrie Fish, Falmouth,
| Port Leonard Startle, Jennie RoTett, Mollie b.,
| Puss Broadnax and KilbSn. At the start Kill
| burn went to tho 'front.' Puss tapping his rear,
Mollie 3. third. At the first quarter Jennie TOOK
! the lead, kilburn second, Puss good third, the
rest in a bunch hanging on the rear.
| At the half-mile pole there was little change,
| but coming around the turn into the home
| stretch, all put on all the speed they had to
spare, but Kilburn, having the wind, forged for
ward, taking the lead winning the race IL 1;521a,
Puss Broadnax second Jennie RowetC thir0,
Nellie 3 fourth, Carrie Fish fifth, the rest srag
CLING behind.
There was considerable speculation over the
four mil event, all Of the entries being new to
such severe contest; they were Sam Harper,
Col. Nell gap, Geo Graham, Oxmore, Pompeys
Pillar and Falmouth. When the drum tapped
Pompey led full length, Graham next the rest
holly behind. The first mile, which was made in
1871, made little change, Nelgan working up to
second place. Graham third.
On the second mile it was apparent that the
heavy track WAS telling on the horses, for Pompey
and Oxmore cried ont " bellows 10 mend" and
let down completely. Ne,liSan passed the string
leading, but on the turn of the third mile gave
way to Harper, who took the lead and kept it
throughout the race, winning the heat, all the
rest being dlstanced, except Graham.
There as a large crowd gathered in the cool
ing ground, anxious to take look at the TWO re-
naming contestants. The horse Harper at first
showed much signs of distress, but after being
bled at the mouth began to ysibly improve.
Graham looked well, but did not sweat off as
could be desired, yet he look 81 mach better than
the mare.
After come little time President Breaux tapped
the dlum, and they We're of at SOW gait on the
Second HeQt-Graham leading. For two miles
this Was kept up, but on the third the horse Har-
per quickly worked IN 'front.' and won the second
heat and race by two lengths, in 8:33.
This closed the Fall Meeting, 1875, Of the Lou
isiana Jockey Club.
