BACKED AT SHORT ODDS
THREE WINNING FAvORITES AT
CRESCENT CITY TRACK.
Owner of Patrice Admitted that the
Mare Was Doped ON Wednesday,
stewards VIII Take Action.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 3.-Cardinal Wool
sci, Monastic and Ben Chance were the
winning favorites at the Crescent City
track this afternoon All were heavily
backed at short odds. The track was fast.
Several stables are expected in from Ben
nings tomorrow. The stewards have not
concluded their investigation OF the condi-
ton of the mare Pa.rice, which started in
the sixth race on Wednesday. Enough has
been learned. however. to warrant either
the trainer or foreman of the stable being
ruled of. That the mare was "doped" is ad-
mitted by her owner and the only thing
that remains before official action is taken
is to place the responsibility on the proper
party. Weather clear. Summaries:

be the city chosen. as both men stated to-

''Supposing man meets with bad fall
or accident of any kind which damages the
speech center on the left he becomes dumb
for the time being. Then the right side

becomes left-handed. because now the orders
from the brain are transmitted more rapid

You have often experienced, I suppose
the curious feeling that you have done
something or met someone at some time or
other when in reality you have not done SO
at all There are two or three theories to
account for this hallucination, but the now
generally accepted theory Is, that in such
cases one side Of the brain acts slightly
quicker than the other. Thoughts OF this
sort. by the way, have nothing to say to
the speech center which only controls mus
cular action. In thinking Of any idea or per-
son. both sides of the brain act stimuli
taneously: but. as I say. in some cases one
side acts bit quicker than the other.
Surprising the left side of your brain
conceived the idea that you were going to
tie your bootlace, and that the right side
was, say, tf,ousandth part OF a second be-
hind hand In grasping the same idea, the
result, when the right side did grasp 1t,
would be that you would imagine that you
had already tied your bootlace.
''Of course. no one could possibly notice
the delay in the action of one side of the
brain. but the result. when ii does occur, Is
to make a person fancy he had already per-
formed an action which in reality he had
only thought Of performing. and the strang-
est part of such an Authorization Is that the

done a long time ago. OF course, being
