Printer scorched Ring.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. IA. 3. Let
teller, compositor a local newspaper
here, scorched the ring to-day when the
Schneider cast-off Pretorius, which passed
by gradual changes of ownership into the
printers hands, won the first race. The
old gelding opened at 100 to 1 and was
backed down to 80 to l or less, and won
very cleverly. New Yorks defeat in the
Speed handicap, for which he was always
a hot favorite, was a blow to the Eastern
contingent. Scorpio led the way into the
stretch and then passed it up, Autumn
Leaves and Roue going to the front and the
former nosing out victory. The stake
was worth 81, 460 to the winner. Lady
Radnor and Treacy were the only other
beaten favOrites. II. McCoulty, trainer Tor
II. T. Griffin, was to-day denied all priv
ileges of the track by the stewards. Twelve
head of horses in training were sold in the
paddock this afternoon for S5.445, an aver
age of S454. The best prices were Ring Dove
to S. w. Street, $625; Hymettus, to j. Phil
lips, s1,6OQ; Pepper to E. l.. Tully, 500;
komombo. to S. w. Street, N.2o Bronx
was sold at private sale for $780, The
weather was fine and track fast. Sum-
