"THE IRON HORSE
Title Bestowed on the Great Runner
Claude,


Claude. the winner of many derby races
in 1903, is one Of the few three-year-oids
that came back as a four-year-old and
showed improvement over his previous
years performances. As three-year-old
he won a dozen races. and some Of them
were derbies, which brought his winnings
for the season of 1908 up to $31. 300. He
won fourteen races during the season which
closed on Saturday. and as seven OF them
were of much value his total earnings for
the year amount to $221s0 Claude now
gets the name of the iron horse" and has
been in almost constant training for two
years.
For the last three winters he has been on
the Pacific coast and has been raced during
the summer months in the middle states
and also on the eastern tracks. His first
victory last year was January 10. when he
won the owners handicap at Oakland. This
race was his preparation for the Palace Hoo
tel handicap. which he added to his many
other victories. He raced at Memphis, but
1t was not until near the close Of the meet
ing that he recovered his old form and won
a stake event.
He was then sent to Kansas City and won
the Elmridge handicap. He continued on
his travels to Toronto, where he won the
King Edward Hotel gold cup. Fort Erie
next saw him and he won a handicap and
stake event. He was then shipped to
Saratoga and won an overnight event, but
was disqualified.
Claude's next victory, was the Toronto
cup during the fall meeting. He won an
other race at Toronto and then was shipped
to Kansas City, where he added another
race. Late in the fall he was sent to Cali
fornia and has won the Christmas and
Thanksgiving day handicaps and an over
night event. Claude is now In his best form
and has run good races on fast and heavy
tracks.
His first start of this year was on Mon
day. when he easily won a handicap from
a small field.

NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockey Nicol Rode Four Finners, One
Long Shot

At the New Orleans track yesterday af-
ternoon the fields were made up of ordinary
material and a cold, drizzling rain set in
and greatly decreased the attendance.
About the best race Of the afternoon was
the seven-furlong sprint. Ascot Belle, from
the stable of Capt S. s. Brown and Kittie
Plat were the only ones that the specula-
tors paid any attention to, and both were
well played, Kittie Platt closing a favorite
at odds on, while Ascot Belle was the sec
ond choice at 6 to 5. Unfortunately for the
hackers of Kittie Plat, she stumbled short
Iy after the start and all but unseated
Crimmins. Nicol managed to get Ascot
Belle away and met with no interference,
winning in a canter eased up, by three
parts of length from kittie Platt, who
got through at the head Of the stretch and.
catching Flight and w. L. George firing,
managed to secure the place Jockey
Nicol rode four winners, including a 25 to
/ shot, and his riding was the feature of the
afternoon.
The victory of Miss Bob in the first race
created some surprise. She was held at the
fancy odds of rs to 1, and came home q

tographs and police description c. v. Tur-
ner, who killed himself at an Atlantic City
On. J.) hotel in July. 1908. as a member OF
well-known and extremely wealthy En-
glish family who was cast of after he had
dissipated a fortune. and who disappeared
from England, leaving his wife and two
children. Turner had since fallen heir to
100000. and the lawyer was searching for
him. supposing him to be alive.
Turner Occupied a fine suite at the hotel
several months before his death. He ap-
peared to be plentifully supplied with
money, but search of his effects after he
was discovered in his room with bullet
in his brain did not reveal dollar.
He was buried at public expense after
his body had been kept a month and viewed
by hundreds in an attempt to learn who he
was. Even after burial attempts were
made to trace his relatives and the body
was once disinterred at request of members
of titled English family in search of a
recreant son.
