The races yesterday classed up high as
regards sport, majority of the events be-
Ing close fought out down to the wire. The
slight rain did not hurt the track at all,
though 1t was very dsagreeable under the
grand stand and in the betting ring.
Lovers Of long-distance racing were given
a treat In the famous Dixie stake. when
two first-class jockeys. Odom and Shaw.
fought out the race on The Southerner and
Ostrich. For the last half mile especially
no one could name the winner, as The
Southerner chung to the pacemaker, Ostrich,
with all his well-known bulldog courage,
and as Shaw time after time '-let out an
extra link Odom met each emergency and
finally wore down the pacemaker and The
Southerner won by a neck.
Ostrich was cOnceding seven pounds to
The Southerner, and as on previous form
these two colts were of nearly the same
caliber. the real merit of Ostrich's perform
can be appreciated. The time 3.O6 80,
equals the track record, made two years
ago by w. l.. Powers Adelaide Prince. It
was the third running of the Dixie under
the auspices of the Washington Jockey
Club, which revived 1t after the cessation
of racing at Baltimore some years ago. The
time-honored stake was first run about
thirty years ago.
Stake Worth SO, $50.
The race was a really excellent contest
between two colts not of high class. yet
who. under the mastery handling of two
such able riders as Odom and Shaw, af-
forded the public a great race for it's
money. At the close of, the contest the
band played Way Down South in Dixie -
ana all III all, IQlS one race compensated
the public for visiting the course In spite
of threatening weather. The Dixie stake
was worth $3.50 to the winner, which Is
the property of Matte" Corbett, who saw
the race.
Yesterday also marked the first running
of the Junior steeplechase, for three-year-
olds. at a distance described as about two
miles. Ever since this stake was offered
gone conclusion that vestment would win
for Mr.. Chamblett," because of the great
form she had displayed in her only pre-
vious effort against older horses. On that
occasion Vestment's splendid jumping was
the theme of admiration, but yesterday she
was great disappointment as. in addition
to landing badly after several of her jumps,
she made poor turn into the stretch, and
as Sunshine After Rain, her most persist
ent competitor, saved at least two lengths
on the same turn. Vestment lost by about
three parts Of length race which should
have been Won by her in spite of her poor
jumping.
The winner. Sunshine After Rain. was
purchased by -Gwynn Tompkins for Mr..
Cotton" after he had seen her sehoeled
here few days ago. and as the gelding
won his first start Mr.. Tompktns' Judgment
was signaIly sustained. Sunshine After
Rain Is by Victory. a stallion formerly own
ed by William Lakeland Gamecock, a
stout black son of Blackjack, was a strong
tip. but his rider lost his stirrup at one of
the obstacles. This. however. did not alone
beat Gamecock, who is sure to improve
with experience.
Panique's Victory Popular.
Paniques victory in the closing race was
an easy one and a popular one. Panique
carried the blue and orange silks of w. p.
Burch, whose home is In this city and who
Is looked upon here as the dean of the
training fraternity.
Jockey Crimmins left last night for New
wi ~
Inaugural handicap tomorrow, the Opening
day of the Crescent City Jockey Club s
winter meeting.
s. Hart. trainer Of Nevada. starter in the
second race. was fined $50 because the
horse did not parade past the stand on the
way to the rost. Nevada was unruly. and
Barnet. her rider, after making q half
hearted attempt to keep her with the 9TH
passed IN front Of the stand. Why the
trainer should be fined instead of the rider
Is not clear.
