New Orleans, La, Dec. 24.-"Kansas
Price, who operated around st. Louis last
season, pulled of neat coup with Wreath
of Ivy in the last race to-day. Jockey
Bybee tossed off so many races on this
filly that all hands came to the conclusion
to mass her up. Instead of Bybee, Jockey
L Wilson had the mount on Wreath OF
Ivy. The switch of riders brought about
q marvellous improvement in the mare.
She was heavily backed at to L She
was much the best, and after getting off
badly ran around her horses and beat the
fayorite, Footlights Favorite, by nose
in q hard drive. Allegrette made the pace
to the stretch. then quit and finished third.
Starter Fitzgerald, who has been in bad
form since the meeting commenced, made

Of them at the post. Sadducee and Jim-a-
Long got of. New York, Scorpio, Josette
and Eva Russell were all but left at the
post. Every time Scorpio starts in a race

The big sprinter seems to rattle him
completely Sadducee and Jim-a-Long

from the queerly named Jim-a-Long and
won handiiy by two lengths. None of the
other four ever had chance.
