NEW ORLEANS RACES.

The race was q preliminary test Of the
candidates for the Crescent City Derby.

ponents, but In spite Of this serious handi-
cap he was made a strong favorite at IL

finishes of the meeting. Passing the
Judges stand the first time Duke OF Con-

Quex fourth. There was little or no change
in the positions of the leaders until the

Association, whose scope Is somewhat sim

ciation OF New York city, will Be held In Chi
cago on April 3. It is the intention OF the
executive committee to recommend the
adoption OF an Official handicap schedule
embracing all players belonging to the
league The advantages OF such Sched-
ule have already been shown In the metro
politan championships. and its adoption by
western players will undoubtedly lead In
time to- q national handicap list. under the
auspices Of the United States Association,
governing all entries to national tourna-
ments According to several shrewd OBJ

ultimate solution OF a much-vexed ques-

ceived certain rating on the handicap

Another question to come before the Chi
championships. and in view OF the fact
that Glenview has already secured the

1t is probable that this sectional cham

Milwaukee has also signified its intention
OF asking for It. Both have good eighteen

1t satisfactorily. The western women's
