New Orleans Races.

New Orleans, March At was hot here
today, with a temperature OF 81 degrees
in the shade, and the crowd at the race
track was a-large one. Betting was
heavy, with but one successful favorite;
one second choice, however, and three
third choices in front served to break
the downfall of the talent in some degree,
but the bookmakers must nave quit
ahead on the day. Poor riding lost the
first two races to Bimbo and Marcel,
both of whom should have won. The
fifth race ought to have gone to Billy
Mckenzie whose rider made his run too
late and Just failed to get up. outside
of these incidents the best horses looked
to be the winners. In the first race the
Preserver fell and broke his leg. He VIII
probably be destroyed. The new start
ing machine will be given a trial here to-
morrow in all probab ility.
