NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Eastern Turfmen Make killing
With Burning Glass.

The wise racegoers from the east who are
winterng at New Orleans won enough
money yesterday en- Burning Glass, winner
of the opening race. with % to l hanging
about him in the betting. to buy a great
number OF Christmas presents. Frank
Midgely the owner and trainer of the colt,
won a neat sum from the Crescent City
Jockey Club track bookmakers, but the best
portion of the winnings was taken from
out-of-town pool rooms.
It was the first time that Burning Glass
had ever run In front. During the summer
he ate well, but ran poorly, and Mrs. Cor
nelius Fellows jr., nearly had her pretty
eyes worn out trying to find her colors in
the cloud Of dust with which Burning Glass
was usually enveloped. At the end OF the
racing season at the Benning track this
fall several of the horses belonging to
young Fellows and his wife were sold.
Among the lot was Burning Glass, whose
name was the most commendable thing
about him.
But the water and oats and air down at
New Orleans seemed to give life and speed
to Burning Glass, and from the time his
hoofs first spurned the track he has shown
great improvement in form" In the first
race yesterday he met a fairly good field OF
platers and beat them home in driving
finish by neck.
One OF the women devotees of the turf
who own horses at New Orleans, Mrs. w.
L. Hazelip. scored a triumph in the last
race. Her filly Commend won the conclud-
Ing event of the day in a gallop, with the
excellent odds of to / against her. The
fair owner had q small bet on her Ally and
was highly elated when she beat her field
so easily.
Huzzah won the handicap at mile and
a sixteenth easily. This horse. which here
tofore several jockeys have said was too
slow in his early PAGES to keep up with his
field was always within striking distance
of his horses yesterday. This forward po-
sition was. perhaps. due to the fact that
II. Phillips. one OF the best jockeys at New
Orleans. had the mount. Phillips would
not allow Huzzah to lag, and at the end of
the stretch the brown colt had every one
of his rivals beaten, and he came home
champing on the bit. The start for this
race was very poor. Ethics being practically
loft and Satire away badly. The latter
closed UP a gap in the early stages of the
the last furlong he quit.
Alfred Hennen Morris, who for years
raced horses In the famous all scarlet
colors, which he inherited from his father
John A. Morris. but who retired two years
ago. stated yesterday at New Orleans. that
he would have few horses in training
this season, but that he would return to
the turf on an extensive scale In 1905 with
thoroughbreds which he had bred himself
sons and daughters of his famous stations
Compute. Filigraine and Bowling Brook
Wyndham Walden. who for years trained
for both father and son. will have charge
OF the string Of thoroughbreds.

A dispatch from New York last night
says:
Representative Ira E. Rider vigorously
denied the report today that Charles A.
Towne would succeed him in the House Of
Representatives.
when 1 drop dead and not before, will
there be vacancy in the fourteenth dis
trict I am my own master. and will not
resign at any mans bidding" said Mr..
Rider.
The trouble is due to an oversight in not
getting Mr.. Riders consent to resign be-
fore completing arrangements to I'LL his
place. Leader Murphy wanted to send Mr..
Towne to Congress in place of Mcclellan.
Cochran was substituted. When Towne
was sidetracked Mr.. Murphy set certain OF
his able lieutenants to work. They ar
ranged that Mr.. Rider was to get out on
account of I'll health. and to be taken
care of under the incoming administration
in the borough presidents office. Harry e.
Hart. leader of the thfrtieth district. an
uncle of Rider is understood to have
promised that Rider would resign.
Rider was dumfounded when he read sat
urday the Tammany announcement that
his .ill health had forced him to retire
from Congress after a service OF nve
weeks He came out with his bold defy
only today.

Won should resign?" he was asked

TO FIGHT FOR v1ND1cAT1oN.
''Pittsburg Phil" May Go to Court
With jockey Club.

George E. Smith (Pittsburg Phil, the
noted plunger, is wrought up over the
action of the Jockey Club in failing to pass
upon his application for hearing before
the stewards When the stewards met at
James r. Keene's apartments in New York
last Tuesday Mr.. Smith felt confident that
his application would be acted upon and
that he would get opportunity to state
his case.
For that reason the young plunger had
not taken any action against the Jockey
Club, feeling sanguine that if he was given
a hearing he would prove to the stewards
that he was just as much entitled to race
horses any other owner. Pittsburg Phil
had been waiting since last summer for the
meeting to take place, and now that the
stewards have failed to give him hear
ing he is determined that it shall be a fight
to finish.
1t is we'll known among the plunger's
friends that he does not care to race
horses on the track again, and If permits
sion were granted him 1t is doubtful If he
would ever again buy thoroughbred. What
the young millionaire plunger wants is vim
dication.
Il am not through yet" said the plunger
when seen last night in New York, but 1
haven't decided upon what course to pur-
sue"
While reticent about his future plans,
"Pittsburg PHIL it Is said, is planning to
give the Jockey Club the hardest fight that
it has ever had from an individual Those
who are familiar with the plungers meth
DDS know that there is no such word as
quit with him once he starts to accomplish
anything. One can sum up his fighting abil-
ity in his own words. When asked some
time ago regarding the action of the Jockey
Club, he said that he was ready to spend
every dollar that he possessed to get JUS
tice.
'Pittsburg PHIL had his first trouble
with the Jockey Club last summer when his
jockey, Willie Shaw, was ruled off for poor
riding on one of Father Bill Daily
horses. Shortly after this action the plung-
er attracted considerable attention by his
sensational transactions in the betting ring
and he was surprised one day to receive no.
tice that his entries would not be accepted.
This was practically polite ruling off, and
the plunger Immediately sold his stable of
horses but has since been doing consider
able betting on the metropolitan tracks as
well as at Saratoga.
At the time of the incident 'Pittsburg
Phil claimed that Andrew Miller, one of
the stewards of the Jockey Club. was re-
sponsible for the action of the board be-
cause "Pittsburg Phil claimed that early
in the season he had refused to use of his
Jockey, Willie Shaw. to the steward Miller
subsequently denied the truth Of the plung-
er's statement

sharkey to Train Hard for Munroe.

That Tom Sharkey intends to be in shape
when he tackles Jack Munroe is evident by
the manner in which the sailor has plunged
into his training. Having signed articles
and posted forfeits. Sharkey Immediately
decided that the next best thing to do was
to begin work, and yesterday he took a
Jaunt around Central Park. New York. ac-
companied by his trainers, Tom Riley and
Kid Critic.
1t was the first road work that the sailor
had taken In some time. but he seemed to
have his old-time burst of speed, which
made it difficult for those who accompanied
him to hold the pace.
Sharkey does not intend to lose any val
liable time between now and the battle
which is to take place within two months
It is not his first experience In city train
ing, having done preparatory road work
around the park in several Of his previous
matches.
This afternoon he will add to his training
schedule by taking up his gymnasium ex-
ercise. He will do his work at a gymna-
SUM until after holidays, when he will take
up his quarters at Sheephead Bay. where
he will remain until a battle ground is Sc
lected for his go with MunrOe.
Sharkey. although confident that he will
defeat Munroe intends to take no chances
with the miner. as a victory will give him
an opportunity to meet Jeffries for the
championship.
