NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Five Favorites in Front and All
Heavily Backed.

The books received another drubbing at
the New Orleans track yesterday afternoon.
Five out of six favoriteS won and all were
heavily played. The only break that the
layers received in their favor was in the
last race of the day when Red Ruler, from
the stable of Albert Simons. brought them
relief. The track was in poor shape and
the attendance the smallest of the meeting
While the horses were at the post for the
last race Red Ruler threw Jockey Olandt,
but the boy was not injured and gamely
remounted A few minutes later Mfdges
bride broke and the assistant starter had a
hard time in preventing the Street FLY from
running away. Finally when Mr.. Fitzgerald
managed to secure start Nudge was of

lengths, but coming into the stretch she

aged to win by short head on the post
from Coruscate, who finished with rush.
The days feature was the six furiong
handicap for all ages. 1t brought out an
exceptionally good field and also produced
lively betting. Kings Trophy, the crack
western three-year old. was the favorite

seriously on account of the fact that he was
giving away pounds of weight. Opening
at even money in the betting Kings Trophy
drifted to Ito at post time. Subtle, who
is fond of the going, from the stable of s.
w. Street, and Astarita were played to
down Kings Trophy. Astarita started off
to make a runaway race of it, but at the
head OF the stretch she gave it up and
Kings Trophy, coming with fine burst
of speed. won in a common gallop by three
parts of length. Sid Silver, 6O-to-1
shot, managed to nose Astarita out for the
place.

Carrie Swain Sues Gardner.

A suit was brought in Paris yesterday
by Carrie Gardner, an ex-actress, well
known in America as Carrie Swain, against
Frank Gardner, the millionaire sportsman,
who, she asserts. married her in San Fran
cisco in 1886. She passed as Gardeners
wife until 1901, when she was expelled from
his house, in which she was supplanted by
Mime. Leglay, a French woman. She seeks
to establish the validity of her marriage.
Alternately she demands 100000 or ali
mony of 81 600 monthly. She is unable
to produce her marriage certificate, saying
that Gardner destroyed 1t for the purpose
of removing evidence.

BILLIARDS.
Proposed Match Between Sutton and
Vignaux.

George Sutton, the American professional
now in Paris, issued challenge to Maurice
yienaux for the worlds championship at
1S-inch balk line with two shots allowed In
balk, and then suddenly withdrew the chai-
lenge and the forfeit money which he had
posted This bit of news was cabled to this
country and caused some gossip among
amateurs and professionals. Both Sutton
and Vignaux have been playing in the
Grand Cafe Academic, Paris, for some
months Sutton issued the challenge
lust before Christmas and several OF the
Frenchmen declared that it was most ir-
regular as the men were engaged in the
same academy. Sutton, therefore, agreed
to withdraw the challenge upon the agree
ment Of Vignaux that ne would meet MN
at a later date and that he should have
the first call upon the chance TO win The
coveted title and honors.

entry for the annual tournament that is
to begin on January 30 at the Chicago
Athletic Association. One of the class B
amateurs. H. A. Coleman, VINO has just
returned to New York from Chicago. states
that while there Col. Louis NJ. Hamburger,
the chairman of the national tournament
committee, was much elated at receiving
from Foss letter which seemed to fndi-
cate that the player who is regarded as
the foremost amateur of the country would
compete this year.
There are several persons well informed
on billiard affairs who scout the idea Of
Foss competing in the championship
Among the number is Anthony F. Troesch-
er of New York, who has been endeavoring
to arrange the match between Foss and
the French amateur. Rerolle. He stated
yesterday to a New York Sun reporter that
Foss had said that il Rerolle would not
come to this country he would again 60
to Paris to meet him. Foss will have to
make the journey as Rerolle has sent
word that he cannot shape his business SO
as to visit New York. 1t is the opinion of
Mr.. Troescher that Foss will soon be on
his way to Paris.
]. Ferdinand Poggenburg, the present
holder of the title, has declared his in
tention to compete, although his official
entry blank has not yet been forwarded to
the committee. Wright and Sigourney the
Californians, and Conklin of Chicago have
officially entered In the absence of Foss,

Standard Oil Co. Buys a Gas Plant.

The entire stock and control of the San
Francisco Coke and Gas Company has been
purchased by the Standard OIL Company.
The amount of money paid for the concern
is not stated, but 1t is said to have been
a good round sum. This is construed to
mean another contest for the control of
the lighting of San Francisco, the opposi-
ton company. the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Corporation. being placed 1t Is
said. In a position where 1t must either
sell out or fight.
The San Francisco Coke and Gas Com
pany was started in 1000. and for the last
four years II has manufactured coke by
process which also allowed for the extrac-
ton of Illuminating gas. The latter product
was disposed of under a contract to the
San Francisco Gas and Electric Company
until last fall, when the agreement expired,
and 1t has not been renewed
A New York organization subsequently
reorganized the concern, and it was ru-
mored then that New York capitalists
would put up money to fight for the con-
troll of the lighting business in this city.

In other words, .Corbett lodges Fitz who
means business. The Cornishman saws
that he cannot beat ,Jeffries and declares
that the champion stands alone. On this
basis 1t Is natural to ask: Can Corbett
peat Jeffries, who has knocked him out

To Stop Sale of LIQUOR.

word from the Interior Department at
Washington that Nevada will be expected
to take steps at the next session of the leg
islature to stop the sale of liquor along the
line of the irrigation canals that are being
constructed in connection with the reclama-
ton work.
The department insists that the various
states that are enjoying the benefits of the
reclamation act must give heed to the sug-

along the line of the canals has resulted In
