NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Eastern Horsemen Again Won Big
Bets From Bookmakers.


The bookmakers at the New Orleans
track again paid over to the eastern con-
tirgent of racegoers number of big bets
|; yesterday. Archie thinner. trainer for
big Tim" Sullivan. and Morris Hayman.
horse owner and friend Of Joe Ullman. the
western plunger. led the vanguard Of the
wise men who collected on two good
things" that won.
Little Jack Horner added another race to
the New York representatives credit by
winning the second event. His success was
as much due to Jockey Fuller as to his
own fieetness of foot. 1t was a repetition
of the old. old story-Fuller,s superiority
over his rivals In the pi8skin.
Despite the fact that the distance of the
race-six furlongs-was considered too far
for the little gelding. he was well backed
by the friends of the stable. who relied on
Fuller's ability to make up any deficiency
that the horse might lack in stamina. This
&C nfdence was not misplaced. Fuller Sc
cured a running start, and this advantage.
plus his clever riding at the end, landed
the money.
Fuller. alert for the main chance at the
pest rushed his horse at the barrier. and
while the remainder of the field were not
prepared for the start. he was ready and
secured two-length advantage. This lead
he maintained to the last furlong pole. At
that point, after Julia Junkin. which had
raced with Little Jack Horner had dropped
back beaten, Joe GoSs challenged and for
a few strides he showed in front.
1t was then that Fuller's skill came into
play. He "jollied" Cochran into the belief
that he was beaten, and then, when that
rider began to take matters easily san
gune of success. Fuller aroused his mount
for final squirt and won on the post by q
nose.
De Reszke won the handicap In a galiop
With only SO pounds on his back the New
York delegation thought he was practically
invincible. and they backed him down to
Z to 10 at the close. He held the field at
his mercy Throughout the mile journey,
running under a pull throughout and Win
ming with his head in the air.
Harmakis added to the enjoyment and the
hopes of the fasteners by capturing the
third race in a hard driving finish. He was
well backed by his owner. Richard Rauer,
and his friends both at the track and in the
out-of-town pool rooms. The money was
I'm doubt until the very last stride The
colt received all the worst of the start, lad
to work his way through his field and only
got up in time to win by the margin OF TWO
inches on the post from Exclamation. the

Sam Hildreth won the opening even. with
his colt Floyd K, but much of the enjoy
ment of the result was spoiled by the ac-
ton of a spectator, who bid up the winner

gained by steady jabbing to the jaw with
his right and left. while Temple tried hard
for the body without effect. The fifth round
went to Temple. but he was very weak at
the. close The sixth went to Walcott. while
the seventh was practically even. with
Temple having possibly shade the better
of it. Walcott devoted about all his atten-
ton to Temples stomach.
From that point to the end Walcott had
matters well In hand. and by steady atten-
ton to the body managed to reduce Temple
to state of weakness which In the four
teenth nearly resulted in Temple passing
into dreamland. He was almost out from
a right to the stomach. and was webbing
while resting on one knee while taking the
count. At the end OF the count the bell
rang and he staggered to his corner.
In the last round Temple staggered and
strove hard to stay the distance. Walcott
tried hard to score knockout but Temple
covered up and managed to be on his feet
at the bell.

said he, but l never wanted to ride In a
hurdle race" Cornet, Problem and other
well known jumpers were trained and rid
den by Hyland.
Coming from such an authority. this
should put another nail in the coffin OF
hurdle racing, especially as Hyland was In
his youth a fearless and brilliant rider OF
steeplechasers. and afterward trained them
for A. D. Brown of Baltimore and others.
He thinks Diavoio was the best cross coun-
admitted that General Phillips, who was a
cup winner on the fiat. was also great
steeplechase horse. General Phillips was
purchased for steeplechasing by Messrs.
John and William C. Sanford. who were
once great supporters of that branch of
sport.
There seems little doubt in the minds of
well Informed racing men that the last OF
hurdle races has been seen on tracks under
the control of the ruling body.

Large Investment.

The largest single investment of
American capital in the Philippines
yet made is recorded in cablegram
received at the war department. last
week from Governor Taft. This re.
lates to the allotment to Charles NJ
Swift of Detroit of contract for the
ownership and maintenance of thirty
five miles of electric road in Manila
and suburbs and the operation and
ownership of the electric light, heat
and power works. THIS allotment
was made in conformity with an act of
the Philippine commission in October
last, and since the issue of the adyer-

Deserves No Sympathy.

No fair minded person will be dis
posed to sympatlliae with Miss Rsbec-
ca Taylor who lost her job as a clerk
in the war department for publishing
in a Washington paper over her own
signature an intemperate criticism
of the presidents policy in the Phili-
ppines. She now appesls to the
courts to reinstate her ON the ground
that the constitution guarantees free
dom of speech but the courts have
dismissed the case ON the plea that
the power of appointment and remov-
the heads of the several departments.
Miss Taylor's conduct was, to say the
very least, a fragrant violation of good
taste, and it WAS an affront 70 pro-
priety which the president had ex-
cellent cause to rebuke, The very
fact that he resented it is proof enough
that it was wholly ont of order.
Neither women nor men should be
willing to accept fasors of patronage
from individuals or institutions that
they take pains to denounce and CEN

this theory, and further are backing
their judgment with money by
leasing land at good rentals and
even starting some wells.
