NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Lev Dorsey Won Handicap by Head
From New York.

Well-backed horses were first home at
New Orleans yesterday afternoon and the
racing was clean and satisfactory to all
except the layers. The track was very
fast and the weather was summerlike. A
good card brought out a large crowd. which
made things lively in the betting ring.
Jockey Robbins, who is one of the best
lightweight boys here, and who has ridden
the major portion of the horses for the
Street, stable at this meeting, will ride in
New York this year. His father has APP
piled for a license for his son and himself
from the jockey club The elder Robbins
will in all probability train public stable,
as he applied for trainers license
After the victory of Pronta in the fifth
race she was run up to $1,000, which was
$500 over her entered price.
In the one-nile handicap only four pa

odds-on favorite, but the best that he could
do was to finish second to Lev Dorsey. The
latter Just managed to get up in time to
win by a head on the post Cochran. who

bookmakers with Cyprienne in the second
race. Instead of his regular stable jockey.
Robbins, he put up an apprentice named
Calvert. Street, got good as 5 to l
against Cyprienne. Wreath of Ivy was the
odds-on favorite, but the best that she
could do was to finish second. Calvert
waited with Cyprienne until the head of the
stretch and then came on and won in a
gallop.
Viperine again demonstrated that she is
the best two-year-Old flly at New Orleans
by winning the third race on the card in a
gallop from a fair lot of two-year-olds
There was a lot of rough riding in the
fifth race, in which The Messenger and
Icicle were the principal sufferers. There
were no developments in the Griffin ca

says that he has not been treated right by
the Crescent City Jockey Club.

Karl Jungbluth's feet-footed four-year-

The distance of the handicaps is seven fur
longs. The winner of the first running of
the handicaps will have to shoulder ten
pounds more in the second race than he
did in the first. SO if Santon wins the first
race he will have to carry 1876 pounds in
the second handicap.
SaEton loves a long route, does not be-
come weak-hearted under big weight,
but apparently Is not as quick to get away
from the barrier as many horses entered in

he won last year was the Sheridan for

Freaks of Dynamite.

Two interesting exhibits Of the force
Of dynamite are shown in the museum
of the Stephens institute of tech
nology in Hoboken. They are steel
blocks, six inches in diameter and four
inches thick, showing respectively the
impression of an oak leaf and the i'm
print Of headline Of western news
paper.
1t was during test of high explo-
sives that a cartridge Of dynamite was
placed on newspaper covering the
block of steel, the object being to see
how much dynamite would be required
to split the metal. The dynamite was
fired without injury to the steel; but,
to the surprise of the experimenter, the
print of the newspaper was deeply
pressed onto the metal.
The experiment was repeated, with
the same result, and then was elabo-
rated by trying the charge on an oak
leaf placed between the block and the
