ON THE RACE TRACK
At New Orleans,


New Orleans, January l9.-Heavy rain
during the night made the track muddy
today. Each favorite went down in turn
and the books reaped a harvest. The first
Two races fell to Slow Poke and Merry
Acrobat, each Of whom won without et
Tort. j. j. Ogles ran Merry Acrobat up to
$s0O after the race and secured him. Lord
French, at 90 to !, just managed to last
long enough to win his race. Trapper,
considered by many the best of the derby
candidates thus far shown, was a strong
taVorite in the fourth race, but per-
formed so poorly that the stewards or
oered the refusal of his entry in future
Tor Inconsistency. The colt will. of course,
lie allowed to fulfill his stake engage
inents Jim McGinnis and Semper WAX,
both at 80 to l, wound up the dsy work.
The defeat of Verdent by the former was
cue to DomniclS's over confidence. Albert
Simons has returned Lineal to Frank
Kelley for $1,000. He got the colt in a sell
LIS race recently for $l100. Summary:
