NEW ORLEANS, SUM
trailing. In this order they passed under the
string and started on their second turn.
The first brush just beyond the stand was
| taken by Hutchinson, first; Bob Prltton LAYING
out for lead CALAMITY; Limestone going easily
half length behind. Biloxi, fourth; shillalsh
fifth. The speed was kept up throughout, and it
was certain the time would be good. The second
hurdle was leaped sp!endidly by all Limestone
and with Hutchinson went over the hurdle neck
and neck, Biloxi second, all gong wei and no
rider down.
Just here it was noticed Biloxi seemed to
shorten his stride, and just after, in the same
positions they had taken the third hurdle near
| the half mile pole. he let completely down, his
| fore leg giving out and he was disabled that
he could scarcely walk. The fourth hurdle was
| reached by Limestone and Hutchinson together,
Bob Britton next, Jack and Fllrt nowheres. Neck
and neck they came down the home stretch,
every muscle strained and every energy put forth.
| The crowd, unable to contain itself, sent up
yell Of excitement as they dashed under the
string. Hutchinson and Limestone head and
head, Bob Britton second. Captain Jack stumbled
at the last hurdle and threw Slattery, his lider,
| without seriously injuring him however. After a
consultation the judges declared the race to be
dead heat, and that bets on these two horses
among the spectators at the refusal of the owners
to run their horses again for the money, but two
| miles over eight hurdles is severe test to q
horses endurance. Tho time of the race was
1888.
1t has been some time since there has been q
dead heat in q hurdle race and singular as it
may seem, Limestone was one of the horses. In
his contest with Bullet last year, at Long Branch,
| he made a dead heat over the hurdles. Seldom
has so closely contested and obs tnately disputed
q turf battle been fought here as that OF yester-
day, and those who were fortunate enough to be
present will long remember it. The time is the
fastest ever run. except that made by Lochle: in
the North in 1852.
The Second Race.
The Picwick Stakes for three year ODDS, mile
heats, closed with thirteen entries, only four OF
Of whom answered President Breaux's call to
mount your riders" Mignon, Mansail, Mamie
F. and Warfare were brought out, and these
colts were as frisky kittens. In the pools sold
on the track just before the start, Mamie F.
sold at $50 to s23 against the field, but the bet
ting was any thing but spirited.
After some eight attempts, start was
effected, Warfare jumping to the 'front.' Mamie
T. second, Mainsall third. Mlgnon fourth:
In this order they travelled around the first
quarter-the colts all going easily and We'll in
hand. The quarter pole was reached IN 2Siis
seconds, after passing which Mamie +. Cha
lenged for lead, and after slight opposition on
the part OF Warfare che succeeded in coming to
the front; Mansail third, and Mignon last.
Rounding the turn they dashed in the home
Stretch Mignon closing on Warfare and pas g
ing him: Mainsail third, sweeping under the
string in gallant style. Mamie T, winner OF the
heat in 1:5l.
Second Heat-As they cooled off we'll and
sweated profusely, there was little or no change
in the pools for the second heat, prices ruling
$50 to so in favor Of Cottrll's entry. After seven
attempts start was effected, Mainsail leading.
Just before the half mile pole was reached
, Mamie F. had drawn away and taken lead; Main
| sail at her girth, Warfare third, Mignon last.
} In this order they came into the home stretch
fard it was generally thought Mamie had the
heat, but within fifty yards from home, Mignon
Jockey put on an extra head and challenged Nan
rie TO the surprise OF all presest. BY wonder
full effort she took the lead by head, and VOL
the heat in 1887.
Third Heat notwithstanding the success O
Mignon, the pools remained unchanged in Cot
trilIs favor. After passing the first quarter
Mamie F. took the lead. and kept it throughout
winning the heat and race i'll 1858.
, Third Race.
1t was generally conceded that Bonaventurt
would carry off the third event, and consequent
ly there was little betting on the result OF thu
race. The entries for this race were stampede
Faln outh, Col. Michigan, Donaventure, GranScl
and Galway.
After several Intellectual attempts start wa
: had, Bonav.nture, Stampede and Falmouth
+ getting off well together. As the race was to
two miles they did not cut out the work so earl.
| f"So~~
!, half mile, Bonaventure leading, Galway second
in 55144 I.
Galway made several struggles and failed t.
get the lead, and they came home IN the follow
ing order: Bonaventnre ti-st Galway sec nd
Granger third, Falmouth fourth, Nellgan fifth
: Stampede last. Time-3:41.
