NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Only One Favorite Managed to Get
Home in Front.

The New Louisiana Jockey Club spring
meeting began at New Orleans yesterday
afternoon and an exceptionally good pro-
gram was offered. The track was slow
with a good bottom to it. and the crowd
out was large one. 1t was a disastrous
day for the talent. as only one favorite
managed to get home in front. Two pub
lie idols We're dethroned-Scorpio the big
sprinter, and Viperine, who up to yesterday
afternoon was considered the best two
year-old at New Orleans. This pair. along
with Ostrich were the most consistent
performers this winter and their defeats
were hard blows to the public.
The feature of the day was the ride that
Fuller put up on Moderator in the fifth
race. Moderator was considered a good
thing and was played judiciously at 4 to |.
Fuller managed to get his mount off we'll
and kept him in good position until the
backstretch was reached. when he sent
him to the front. Once in command Fuller
nursed Moderator along in brilliant style
and landed him home in front with two
lengths to spare from Henry of Fransta-
mar. the heavily played favorite. Fuller

The result was a disappointment to the fol-
lowers of the all scarlet of the Morrises. as
the best that Fiperine could do was to finish
third on in front. Fiperine was outrun

CURED recently near Hinton. |. L. He
was the oldest Arapahoe' Indian and
the highest official in the religious and
social circles OF the redskins. He was
famous among the Indians of the
Southwest as the high priest or sachem
OF the Arapahoe lodges.
This tribe OF Indians has main
organization. religious In its purpose.
which is composed OF six degrees. as
follows: The Fox lodge. the Star lodge.
The Tonkawa lodge. the SelfMan's
lodge. the Crazy Mans lodge and the
Dog Soldiers lodge, which Is the high
est degree or which corresponds in i'm
portance to the Masonic thirty second.
The Arapahoes In addition have a thir-
ty-third degree known as the Sun
lodge. under whose auspices the we'll
known sun dance Is given, during the
celebration OF which the participants
fast four days and nights. and until
prohibited were accustomed to torture
themselves and offer human sacrifices.
OF all these degrees Hochiney alone
knew the secrets with the single excep-
ton of White Eyed Antelope. whom
he had chosen his successor and In
structed in all the mysteries.
Hochiney Is said to have fought in
Of the bloodiest battles of bor-
der warfare, and although he gained
great reputation as a fighter, he was
never wounded. a fact that resulted
In his being held In almost a supersti-
tious light by other Indians. One Of
the bloodiest battles In which he was
engaged with thirty other Arapahoes
and an army OF Cheyennes was the |

which he venerated greatly. were
,uried with him at the Indian burying
