NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Right Royal Cleverly Won Derby on
Sloppy Track.

The ninth Crescent City Derby was run
at New Orleans Saturday under unfavor-
able circumstances. The weather was wet
and gloomy and the track deep in mud.
The crowd was large for even Derby day
in New Orleans. but the spectators were
huddled together in the grand stand.
To make matters worse, Rams Horn. the
ante-post favorite for the Derby, had to be
excused. He has a notorious dislike for
mud, but it was not on that account that
his name was withdrawn. Capt. Williams
intended to start him, but early in the at
ternoon Rams Horn struck himself In his
stall, bruiSing his middle tendon SO pauly
that the judges excused him.
With Rams Horn out of the way. the
race assumed an open aspect, the winner
turning up in Right Royal. who was held
in less esteem than Trapper. DIR. Street
candidate was Jake Sanders. He was at =
to l in the betting and was not overlooked.
Aubuchon had the mount on Jake Sanders,
and, obedient to Instructions. he cut loose
just after the barrier assembled and came
down to the judges stand two lengths in
advance. He maintained a lead of between
two and three lengths until well into the
backstretch, where he commenced to back
up.
At the half-mile pole Jake Sanders was
practically on even terms with King $
Trophy and Trapper, who apparently had
no more left than he. Trapper led into the
Trophy and Jake Sanders
Jack Martin took Right Royal around the
field to the outside of the track. where the
going was little better. Picking up the
leaders one by one Right Royal won by a
length and half from Jake Sanders, who
nosed out Kings Trophy.
The card was sadly reduced by scratches.
Only four were left in the mile handicap in
which Rapid Water was 1 to 2 favorite,
but which was won by Gregor K, who
came down. on the same strip in which
Right Royal afterward won the Derby. Old
Stone was third.
George c. Bennett. in addition to finish
ing third in the Derby won two races with
Dishabille and Little Scout. Summary:
