THE RACES.
New Orleans Results.


 New Orleans, Feb. S.-A cold north
 wind blew across the grand stand today
 and made oVercoatS and wraps very
 much in evidence. The heavy rain had
 left the track very heavy and sticky, and in consequence the talent was all at sea. Scratches were very numerous and left
 the card apparently full of good things.
 They failed, however to materialize and
 the talent got several very hard falls. Boomer was to on the first, but the
 bulk of the money went on Mamie G.. for place. Bloomer won, but Mamie did
 not show. Oxeye, at 6 to 5, fell before
 Star Tobacco, who was very well played.
 Chenoa, at 8 to D. finished third to
 Ban Johnson at the false odds of F to l,
 Minnie Hacking getting the place. Che
 noa however, ran a fine race after being
 badly interfered with and finishing
 strong.
 Squire G., at 3 to 5, then went down be-
 fore Carus, who led from the start to
 the finish. There was a wild plunge on Lizzetta, who was virtually backed off the boards. Mark s. was an equally hot second choice, and won in a drive from the long shots, Blackwell and Borderer. Lizzetta got away badly and never bet tered her position
 The last race furnished the usual num- Der of good things to get even on, Minnie Clyde, the favorite. being backed from to s to D. There was long and tire | some delay at the post caused by the | crazy antics of horses and jockeys. They finally went away to bad start. Clyde and Oracle c. raced each other to death and neither showed on the board Jim Cornwall winning by a head from Tom Donohue, who was backeed from 25 to 8, and who should have won. The starting was good. with the excep- ton of the last race, and tSSn the start
