that social organization. There was consid-
cradle flutter In the ladies' s,tard when the
first bell rung, calling. out the gentlemen
jockeys. Numerous CLOVIS and boxes Of
Donnons wv We're re- dald On lay orte riders whilst
tiers laid their money OF. the horses instead OF
the rider. There was too long wait before
the horses Were mounted, and it was only
after the ciapping Of hands on the stand
showed anxiety fof the start that the nSr reg
were Creole Dance, mounted by Mr.: Henry
Howard; Dalgaissian, ridden by Mr.. Ed Vio-
lett; Blue Gown, by Mr.. Henry baldwin, and
the The Giengary colt, . by Mr.; ~ T. ths G..
genthsmen in their Distinguishing charao
teristcs wers in marked contrast
to the oornplex ones used by the owres's
There WAS no difficulty whatever in noting
esch horse on the back-stretch by the riders,
o thing that is generally impossible in the
other races. In the pools Mr.. Violett's Dai-
gasian ruled as the favorite at the long odds,
but considerable money was put up GA the
others. The start was made One-eighth OF a
mile above the stand, SO that when the horses
best speed. 1t was impossible to see the start,
but Y hen they passed the string Dalgaisi8n
lead, pushed hard by the Glengarylce1t, Creole
Dance and Blue Gown neck and neck behind.
The riders sat their horses remarkably well,
and their Workmanship excited many en-
ooTsiums.
At the first quarter Dalgaisian still led, btlt
his pace was too severe to last Creole Dance
gained on him at every stride, and on the
back stretch Blue Gown put on steam and
rushed up to the girths OF the Creole dancer.
whilst the Glengary colt hung behind.
Rounding the turn the race between thefOre-
most three was beautiful. They ran for over
a quarter Of a mile without the difference of
ply into n question of wind Creole Dance,
under Mr.. Howards judiciOus riding. had
been saved somewhat during the first part Of
the race, and now the effect of this began to
tell. Down the hOmestretch they came heller
SHELTER, and for time it was impossible to
say which led.
Blue Gown made rush and passed Dalgai-
sian, and took second, whilst Creole Dance,
under q rain OF the whip, jumped to the
lead and in pretty finish took the race by a
length, the Gown second. Dalgaisian third
and Glengary colt fourth and last. Time,
2:16. For some reason, Mr. Violet, on Dali
gaisian, forgot to ply the timber until he had
passed the judges stand and the race was over
and so. recalling himself, he gave the brown
gelding then some sturdy whaeks as remind
ers of his delinquency. The beautiful cup,
which goes to the owner of Creole Dance, was
presented afterwards, and the gold pin
to Mr.. Howard, whilst a capacious tin cup was
awarded Mr.. Hanna for getting home Iefore
sunset.
Thus closed one of the most enjoyable days
the Louisiana Jockey Club course has ever
seen, aud all expressed themselves highly de-
lighted. To-day there will doubtless be a
large crowd out. as the events with such
speedy entries will give much sport.
