REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New Orleans. La. March 2l.-The Bos-
ton Club Selling Stakes, the feature o,
the afternoon, had a very unsatisfactory
ending. Dorothy Lee. the winner, who was
much the best horse in the race, was dis
qualified for fouling Animosity. the Ia
yorite. The foul occurred at the eighth
mole. Dorothy Lee swerved into the
fspce and compelled Wilkerson on Animosi-
~ 10 pull up to keep from going down. The
decision was very popular. In the bettnS
on the race Animosity was the faVorite
and was played down from s TO b to 10
10. at post time. Animosity and Sim w. ran
Ike a team together for Il half mile, wheh
the latter fell back beaten. Dorothy Lee
then challensed Animosity and the pair
came into the stretch head and head to-
gether. In the run home the pair raced
together until the eighth pole. when Doro-
thy Lee swerved into the inside rail- COM
peiling Animosity TO pull up.
Cured in the mile and three furionSS
race. Leon Ferguson. Major Mansir and
Silver Coin finishing noses apart, in the
order named. With a more. judicious rue
on the end Silver Coin would have won.
