The track was in nearly perfect
condition, and the card was a good
one. The race meeting continues
its career of uninterrupted success

Metropolitan Handicap.
NEW ORLEANS, March THE
racing governors Wednesday de-
livered the following official rul-
ing:
"Jockey Lamley is suspended
for the remainder of the meeting
for contempt Of the Board Of Gov
ernors in refusing TO take a
mount, and Jockey n. Morris is
suspended indefinitely for falling
to obey an official order to go over
the course with Prudent"
Morris offense is sufficiently de-
fined in the ruling. Lamley's
offense was as follows: He had
been engaged to ride both Cossack
and Masonic Home. He found
that he could not quite do the
weight on Cossack, being a pound
or 80 over 10S. Mr.. De Long was
willing that his horse should carry
the extra weight, and Lamley was
anxious to ride him, but the racing
governors would not consent to it,
and Clayton, who could do the
work, was put up in his place.
This angered Lamley, and he re-
fused to ride Masonic Home
though ordered by the racing gov.
