FAN Nfeeefng-R04fth Day

Fan Nfeeefng-Rs14sh Day.
Yesterday closed the races of the Louisi-
ana Jockey Club, fall meeting. The meet
ing can not be said to have been success
40 far as gate money contributed to tho
club purses, though the attendance was
much larger yesterday than on any pre-
vious day Of the meeting. The day was
fair and mild, and all that could be desired
in the line of weather; the track was net
bad, but just little heavy from receut
rains.
The first race on the bill was mile daeh
for two-year olds, snd it started Eva Shr-
ley, Cora Lin, MadEe Duke and Hattie p.
Friday night Madge Duke was the favoeite
in pools; but yesterday the favor had
changed to Eva Shirley. At the start for
the race Cora Lin took the lead, closely
followed by Shirley, 'kadge third. Hattie
fourth. At the halfc;sle the first two
horses were struggling at neck and neck
positions. Shirley, got the lead oc the
home stretch, aud came under the string
two lengths ahead, winning the race in
common time-l:52-3.
The second race was . mile dash, run for
consolation. 1t brought out Falmouth,
Henry Owens, Coronl,s and the Shutdown
colt. Falmouth, al iways better at starting
than closing, took the lead when the drum
let the lot go. He got consolation by com
ing home Q bad fourth. Ovens was the
next best horse until the half-mile was
reached, when Coron;lla came up to see
about the pace. She took first place and
kept it to the end, winning the race by q
length and half. Iime-l:50h.
The third race, four mile heats, was the
event of the day. -Four mile horses are
scarce, and lightning time was not expect
ed. Whipsaw, Uncle Tom, General Har-
ney, War Jig and Pert Leonard were can
didates. Old Port get the start at the frst
heat; the others went away about evea.
AT the end of the FIRST mile Uncle Tom was
ahead, and set the pace for the lot for en-
other mile, crowded closely by Whipsaw.
These two had it neck and neck ct the be-
ginning of the third nnile. At the half turn
of the fourth mile Whipsaw was leading.
Harney was q spectator in the third place
until the home stretch was being measured,
when he woke up to the situation and put
himself ahead by half length, snatching
the victory of the heat from Whipssw, who
was good second. Uncle Tom had done
well, but not we'll enough, and came in
third. The jig was up with War Jig from
the first. Old Port exhibited his staying
qualities by staying behind after the third
mile, and he had hslf mile to spare in the
rear after the race wasover. It was clear
case of distance, and Port Leonard came
out no more. Time Of 6rst heat, 1854.
Whipsaw showed signs Of lameness in
the cooling ground, and it was evident he
had dSne his best work in the first heat.
Harvey was still the favOrite by long odds.
At the start for the second heat Uncle Tom
led and gauged the gallop until the home
stretch on the fourth mile was reached.
Then, Harvey, who had been running un-
der pull, was let loose and put his nose to
the front. 1t was by no more than the
length of his head that the General won
the heat and race. Time-82O4.
