A GREAT PROGRAMME.
Two Handicaps Bring Out the
Cracks of the West.


Cracks of the West.
The jockey club offers a great card
to-day, and the horses that start repre-
sent the cream of the West. The pro-
gramme includes two grand features.
the Merchants Hotel handicap and the
free handicap sweepstakes, and these
bids have brought out wonderful ar
ray of great performers, as will be seen
in the card published elsewhere. King
man and w q Morris will do battle for
the latter stakes, and it will be a fight
from the post to the wire. w q Morris
is out for the money. He has captured
gilt prizes on this track, and he will not
quit without supreme effort to
show his admirers an unbrOken' record
of victories here. 1t will be remem-
bered that he made his debut here as a
two-year-Old and that he carried off the
stakes handily. Morris is the eye of
the talent, although Kingman does not
lack for following and Eli is likely to
be heard from during the mile and
sixteenth.
The Merchants handicap is for two
year-Olds, and it will introduce some
new talent. Minnie l. and Newton
seem to be most favored in the pools,
although w B. who beat out Hlspania
and Hamllne Monday, will find lots of
backing when the books are opened
to-day.
The fourth race, for a purse of 5000,
will introduce GlOckner, who will be in
with Sympathetic's Last. 1t is heat
race of three-quarters of mile, and the
performance of the latter last Friday is
still fresh i'll the memory of all. But
the track is likely to be heavy and
Glockner has a great reputation as
mud horse"
Pat Conley and Matte Allen, the two
old rivals, will be pitted against each
other again. They start in the second
race, mile and fifty yards event. The
talent see nothing else there, but 1t is
possible that they may be fooled some
what, for Comedy, Polemus and Royal
time if given an opening. Comedy is
one of the new horses that has not
started yet.
The great Catalpa, who has been do
ing fine work this season and pulling
out rich winnings, will be seen Tor the
first time in the first race OF the day.
He is selected as winner over Louise
NJ, Dollikens and Harry Ray, all grand
performers. 1t will be one of the best
programmes of the week.
Ladies Are welcomed.
Tomorrow will be ladies' day. The
fair sex will doubtless accept the invi-
taJiOn that has been extended them by
the management, and they will come in
thousands to witness the twO-year-
run for the ladies' stakes. This will be
great feature of the entire meeting,
and no admission will be charged ladies.

POMFRET THE TIP,
But Orrick Calamity Walked
AYeY With the Plum.

POmfret was the hot tip for the third
race, with Getaway for the place, and il
was when the odds were chalked up on
this event that things warmed up to
real interest in the betting ring. Favor
ties had pulled in the other purses
without distress, and why shouldn't
they continue to the end of the chapter?
So the talent reasoned. POmfret was
out of the betting, and Getaway took
kindly with the people. while now
and then some speculative genius
Strayed around and took a long
shot. The betting was seldom more
vacillating. Some of the horses were
run up to 60 to from a starting point
of 10 or ID to l, and then they dropped
back. This was the case with OTrick,
and quite few got the long odds.
While they did not consider Orrick
particularly good thing, they felt that
the odds were too great to stay off him.
There was little delay in getting off.
George r. Clarke showed the way up
past the grand stand at a good clip con-
sidering the mud. Sam Sayre came sec
Ond by neck over Orrick, while Top
stone brought up the rear around the
first turn. Al the quarter George X.
Clarke still showed in front, with Sayre
second and Getaway well up. Orrick
was under pull. Clarke led the party
all along the back stretch, but the field
was after him with a vengeance. He had
managed, by dint of desperate efforts,
to open up a length when he entered
the stretch for the finishing battle.
The air was full of mud as the field
dashed toward the wire. Getaway was
coming fast, but Ornck seemed the
strongest, and without much urging by
Parkinson he placed an opening be-
tween himself and Getaway. 1t was
then that Porter began to bend to his
work. He pnshed POmfret for every
inch of running there was in him, but
he wouldn't extend himself on such an
execIable track. Getaway had had a
good lead, but this desperate effeOrt by
Porter closed the gap, while Orrick was
gallOping along id front, and Getaway
doing his utmost to beat out POmfret.
But the finish was Orrick, POmfret,
Getaway, Clarke, TOpstone IN the order
named.

choice for the place at even
money. Marvel showed the way clear
up to the three-Quarters post, and it was
an uniDteresting procession. Orville
maintained his position of second to the
half, when COnsignee moved up. At the
quarters it was Marvel and Con-
signee neck and neck, with Orville hard
on, and they came into the stretch with
COnsignee in the lead, Marvel second
and Orville coming fast. Orville won
by neck, COnsignee second by two
lengths over COrinne Kinney.

Alarm at Baton Rouge,

Nrw YORK, March l.-T. J. Herman, attorney for the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railroad Company. teIcgraphed to the officials of that company in this city from Baton Rouge, La, to day, as follows The Mississippi is booming here. The gauge now reads 3iis feet and rising This is only , feet lower than the high water mark of 1890, when the high water mark was raised higher than ever before known. The top notch of high water in 1892 was not reached until April ai, and naturally great apprehension is felt here and all along the Lower Mississippi Val ley and there will be repetition of the flood of last year. That Congress should do something in this emergency is strong ly urged by every one in this section, the general opinion being that every dollar spent now for protection would be worth more than 100 spent hereafter for tho relief of flooi sufferers"
