LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB RACES
Il Fall Meet1ng-Second Day.
The attendance ct the race course yestel
4 day was not much greater than on Satul
day. though the races we're exciting, fuI
nishing excellent sport for those VIII
braved the cold weather and put thel
money on the winning horses.
The two mile dash cot down for the frs
race brought ont Clemmie G., Henry Owens
Unole Tom and Donsugh. In the pool sell
ing Clemmie was the prime favorite, stand
ing at 500 to t25 ON Donaugh, and $l2 Of
Uncle Tom. The start was about even fo
al. At the first quarter Clemmie and Unol'
Tom were running neck and neck. Thu
first mile was made in lash, Clemmi,
leading. with Donaugh good second. Al
the half turn of the second mile Donaugt
was even with the winner, struggling hard
for victory; but it was seen that Clemmie
was running under strong pull, which
would give her the race when let ont
Clemmie was ridden to do NO more thar
barely escape defeat, but spurted near the
distance stand, and took the race by abou,
| length.
The second race was q mile dash. From
the betting it was evident that the contest
would be between Redman and Coronilla,
though in it old Falmouth was allowed to
stretch his legs for fun, and Port Leonard
was put in to pad the course. Cornills was
quite frisky while diminishing for start,
and threatened to spill the rider. When
the horses got away Redman was first and
Coronills fourth, the latter coming to neck
and neck with the winner at the half turn.
Soon Redman took the lead and galloped
in half Q length ahead, Coronilla second,
and Port Leon ard third. Falmouth had
got enough, aud was bad fourth. Time
l:45%.
The third race, two mile heats, was very
exciting and proved to be ~ close one ~
was ever run. The odds in betting were
all on Harvey against the field. For tho
first heat Quinlne took the lead ct the start
and kept it until tho first quarter of the
second mile was reached, then Harvey came
to the front crowded closely by War Jig.
Harvey won the heat by three-quarters of
. length. This heat over, War jig stock
looked up little in the pools, being - $50
to $40 in the field, Harvey selling for $3.50.
The start for the second heat was good,
Harvey being least quick to get from under
the string. At the end of the first mile Fair
Play was leading, crowded by q dose of
Quinine. At the next turn Harvey took
the lead anu kept it until Whipssw, . new
candidate. came to the front ON the home
stretch and captured the heat by neck.
Quinine got the distance flag in his
face and fell back in disgrace. Cold
people had hoped that Harvey would
win tho second heat and the race; but the
Whipsaw saw things differently, and pro-
longed the agony. Quinine had been dis
tsnced, and War Jig and Fair Play having
failed to win . heat were ruled out and
sent to stables. The game was now be-
tween Whispssw and Harvey, both sppesr-
ing little stiff. Whipssw took the lead
and kept it to near the end of the race,
Harvey running under . pull. His rider
risked almost too much in keeping the force
of his horse in hand, for when he came to
the home stretch the whip was piled freely
to both horses who were side by side. The
finch was 60 close that spectators on the
stand cried "A dead best!' The judges
ruled differently and gave the heat and
race to Harvey. It was q victory by nose,
and the longest nose won.
