NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Selling Race War Starts Again at
Crescent City Track

The grievances, fancied or otherwise, that
the horsemen at New Orleans entertain for
one another eliminated in a selling race
war yesterday afternoon at the Crescent
City Jockey Club. Two horses-Preakness
and Macbeth-were bid up over their selling
price and the association and horsemen who
secured the surplus were enriched nearly
$500 each.
The animosity of the turfmen was shown
in the opening event, when Albert Simons
bid up Preakness from 5000, his entering
price, to 81, 200 and secured the colt at the
latter figure. In the struggle for the
race Prekness had secured the de-
cision in a driving finish by a length after
a bold challenge from third place in the
stretch. Agnes Brennan, the early pace
maker. lasted long enogh to get second
money from Ralph Young.
Simons. who had bet on Agnes Brennan,
sought to even up On his losses by bidding
Preakness up and taking some of the surplus
to defray the expenses. Aware that Ellison
had won a nice amount on Preakness he con-
sidered him we'll able to afford boost,
inasmuch as the winner was entered to be
sold far below his value. So he bid Freak
ness up with 800 and 500 offers over his
price until he reached $1,000
When the latter figure was reached ELI
son walked away. This gave the auctioneer
no other alternative than to knock Freak
ness down to Simons' last bid. Ellison
realized he had lost his colt he strolled
along This action of the auctioneer proved
an incentive to Ellison to take speedy ac-
ton against Simons, and he hastened into
the secretary's Office and registered a claim
against Agnes Brennan in retaliation for
Simons bid Now honors are event." said
Ellison, land believe have got the better
of the bargain
In the third race Macbeth, which landed
first money in a driving finish by neck
, with 10 to l against him, was bid up to 500
by kansas" Price. The owner of Macbeth.
B. C. Evans. valued the horse at a higher
figure than the one reached and he offered
the customary s. additional and secured his
horse.
These two bids up in the selling races,
horsemen declared. will start in motion an
other selling race war. similar to the one of
last year, which netted the jockey club s
treasury nearly $4,000 before it ended.

Base Ball Notes.

Leon DemontrevilIe has arrived home
from St. Louis and is the picture of health.
George Carey is making his home in
Washington this winter and will line up
with either Buffalo or Nashville next sea-
son.
A letter from Seattle says that Catcher
Lew Drill and Bob Blewitt. who pitched
for Georgetown, have opened an office in
that city and are already doing well In the
legal business. Both men are out OF base
ball for good.
Ex-Manager Manning never hestates to
throw bouquets at Pitcher Jake Weimer,
who was with Kansas City year before last
and did SO finely with the Chicago Ma
tionals last year. He says Weimer is the
equal of Waddell in every respect ana
much easier to handle.
With the Senators located at the old 9TH
street grounds. the new order extending the
working time of the government employees
would Hurt the attendance very little.
Pitcher Jack Townsend is at his home in
Delaware and doing nothing but skate and
going sleighing. Jack would like to return
to Washington next season, but would not
object to working for COMFY Mack.
George Winters. who is slated for an out
field position with the Senators next sea-
son. is touted on all sides as young player
with all the earmarkS of coming star.
Umpire Tom Brown had a very success
full season in the Eastern League and was
promised berth in the American League
next summer. He Is In perfect health ana
would certainly round out President john
sons staff very nicely.
No sympathy need be wasted on the New
York Americans next season. With Keller
and Fultz in shape a wonderful difference
will be noted. and at that Manager Griffith
had the outfit going at very fast clip in
the last month of the season.
Up to noon today there was nothing new
developed in the negotiations for the sale
OF the Washington club. The local capital
lists are still haggling over the price, and
a sale may be consummated at any time.

Forty-eight hours after the board of stew
ards of the Intercollegiate Rowing Asso-

that the college aquatic solons decided on
June %, the date for the big Pough-
keepse regatta.
Those interested In the advancement of
rowing among the colleges In the eastern
part of the United States fail to understand
this apparent reticence
The intercollegiate regatta on the Hudson
river has become fixture which is growing
i'll popularity each year. Pennsylvania, Cor
nell, Columbia, Georgetown, Syracuse and
the University of Wisconsin look upon 1t as
their one goal in rowing.
This year there is remote possibility
that Harvard may be lured to row at the
great regatta. Coisons magnetic influence
will be hard for the Crimson to resist and
it is the general belief that Harvard win

no doubt be of great value to Munroe. The

TRACK AT BENNING.

One Trainer Says It is Finest Develop
ing Place in the North.
Benning this year is bound to attract
early attention from trainers. While the
horses stabbed in and about New York city
have practically been confined indoors be-
cause of the Indictment weather of Decera-
Der and January, there were only six days
since the first OF last November when
horses were not out galloping over the
course at Benning. Some credit for this.
naturally, is due to Superintendent Strahan.
but the peculiar frost-restisting sand OF
which the track is made is responsible in
q large degree for the splendid condition
maintained.
/ One Of the trainers wintering at BenniEg
says that about $50 horses now are at the
track, and the best of health prevails. lie
adds: THE track Is fit for racing tomor-
row If 1t were wanted. There Is no such
any deeper than it was during the meeting
last fall and is by all odds the finest de-
veloping ground for two-year-OldS and the
best training ground for any horse any
where in the north. We certainly will be
fit when the bell will ring on March "a. and
any of the New Workers. who now are
ploughing around either knee-deep in snow
or in mud may find themselves wrong IN
the reckoning unless, of course, they get
down here early.
There isn't so much life about Washing
ton as there is about New York, but neither
is there much snow, and there are other
compensations in the shape of a track on
which we can go when we please and at
any pace we please. 1t is lot cheaper
mere, too, but the main thing is the Oppor-
tunity which is afforded for good, safe gal
Looping on the track every day."
