NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Jockeys Baird and Morris Had Hard
Falls in Mix-Up.

A large crowd was out to witness the
racing at the New Orleans track yesterday
afternoon. and managed to secure an even
break with the books. In the third race
Jockey Baird, who had the leg UP on Paw
tucket, hit a soft spot near the inside rail
of the backstretch and his mount stumbled
throwing him over his head. Sanction, which
was directly behind TPawtucket, collided
with the latter, and both horses, along with
Jockey Morris, went down. Morris and
Baird were both picked up unconscious and
carried TO a stable near the scene of the ac-
cident. Physicians We're summoned and an
examination showed that Baird had re-
ceived very painful injuries around his back
and was also badly bruised around the face
He was conveyed to the hospital Morris
soon regained consciousness and with the
exception of a few slight bruises and Sc
we're shaking up was all right The Eye, in
this event, was the surprise of the after
noon. He, escaped all the miX-up on the
backstretch, which accounts for his victory.
The announcement was made in New Or
leans last night that Tod Sloan would ride
for the first time at the City Park course
today. He will have the leg up on Juriat in
the hrst race and on Luralighter in the
fourth -'a.' ~ --- 1876,

yesterday morning He was being exer-
cised when he came into collision with
Mayor johnson and went headlong into the
fence, breaking his neck. Mayor JohnSon'S
hip was knocked down and he will be out
