REPUBLIC SPECIAL

/
New orleans, La. March l6.-Racegoers
have learned from experience during the
| past winter that Monday results usually
| furnish reversals that are not only startling,
| but bold. The result has been that bettors
| have confined their operations IN the ring
| to u scale that insures only passing inter-
| est in the running of the different events.
| The usual Sunday jobbery was in evidence
| this afternoon. 1t came at the close of the
| afternoon sport with the running of the
| sixth race In this event Lady Alberta on
| form looked like 1-to-2 shot. Apparently
| she outclassed her field, and when the books
| laid TO at the opening the wise ones
| kept off the McCafferty mare.
In the meantime there was rush to get
| aboard Worthing;on BY people generally
| rated as wise. The play on Worthington
| was so heavy that his odds were forced
| from TO l until they reached 2 to l, while
Lady Abertas price kept climbing until it
! reached TO l.
In the first race Saturday, when running
| on track known to be to his liking
Worthington could not head bull up q
| lane. He trailed along in the rear all the
way. and was beaten off at the finish by
such ordinary cattle as Little Chico and
I42honda. Betting indications pointed to the
| TACT that he would run poor race, his odds
| going from to l to 16 to 5.
AS result of to-days race, which Worth
ington won in a gaiiop, the stewards sus-
pended Jockey Phillips, who rode Lady AL
berta. pending an investigation H Dren-
ham, the owner of WorthinGton will also
be called upon to explain the improvement
in his horses showing. The officials pro-
| nounced this race the worst-looking that
has been run here this winter.
p Curley Brown started a good thing in
the first race in the aged chestnut geld!ng
True Blue He backed the horse in the
out-of-town pooirocms, and won handsome
ly on his victory. True Blue made a show
of his field. leading all the way, and run
ming by couple OF lengths from Whitmore.
Pirate, at 50 TO 10. upset the calculations of
the sure-thing players by beating the odds
on favorite. safe Guard. in the second race.
Safe Guard was ridden by Fuller, and was
2-to-S favorite. He had early speed. set
all his own pace. and led until we'll into the
final furlong, where Pirate moved up on
the inside and caught him This pair fought
it out 10 the end. and Pirate proved the
samest and won by head.
NelasQuez, although lame going to the
post. made all his own pace in the third
furnished driving nnlsn between Girl and
lack Ford and The Bronze Demon. The
latter proved the gamest OF the three, and,
as the winning mark was passed, she vas
drawing away.
George Gardner won the mile End a
Quarter race in roInp, beating the :avor-
lite, Latson. six lengths.
st. Louis furnished six of the thirteen
books which did business in the ring here
to-day. Fred Cook, who arrived here from
st. Louis last night. was among those who
cut IN. Cook says that fifteen of his horses
