COLLECTOR JOSEPH DEFEATED

Malster thanks to Mickey" Crimmius
poor handling Of Collector Jessup, won the
handicap at the Crescent city track, New
Orleans yesterday afternoon.
Collector Jessup should have won, but
Crimmins carelessly threw the race away
when ne had a winning margin and the
race practically assured. His Indifferent
riding cost the New York plungers much
money because they had backed the
sprnter heavily.
The race was a six furlong lash Be
cause Malster and Collector Jessup were
favored by light weights and the muddy
condition OF the track, they were made
favorites. Both were backed from 20
down 10 TO and went 20 the post on
even terms.
The contest was between this pair
throughout. Malster was the first TO
catch his stride and was the pacemaker
for three furlonge. Collector Jessup then
moved up from fourth place, and turn
ing for home had commanding lead OF
two lengths.
Believeing he had the race won, Grim
Minis careessly eased his horse ND and
was unable TO rouse him again ut the fin
ish when Master challenged. The result
was a nose victory for Malster The other
horses were never factors I'm the strug-
gle and Peter Paul finished third, three
lengths away.

most dangerous opponent rs James Red
dick, one OF the best "mudders" in the
country Unfortunately for his success he
is a slow beginner and this will prove
to be a serious handicap in such big

beat. High Chance may be third.

STOPS n
RUNAWAY
HORSE

Little Simon Krummes figured in a
runaway last Saturday which might
might have resulted very seriously
He hitched pony to a wagon, but
neglected to fasten the hold-back
straps. He drove up the street from
his home as far as the Ritchford hotel
and there turned around to come back,
but, the street being slightly down
hill at this point the wagon ran up
against the animals heels and she
commenced to run. The boy pluckily
held on to the rains although in a
short time the mare was going at
a breakneek speed and it was evident
that if she was not stopped before
reaching the corner, she would swing
down school street, oyerturn the
vehicle and probably fatally injure
the little fellow. VIII Nelson saw the
horse coming and rushed out. .and.with
much effort succeeded in stopping the
frantic animal before anything serious
could result.
