NEW ORLEANS RACES.
Crescent City Meeting to Be Extended
Until March IS,

The Crescent City Jockey Club makes the
announcement that after the Louisiana
Jockey Club had completed the week the
Crescent City would take up the running
and continue until March %, or two days
before the scheduled opening of the Mem
phis Jockey Club. Sanction for the extern
sion was granted at a special meeting of
the Western Jockey Club held in Chicago
yesterday. This means that the conflict
will continue until March % and possibly
beyond that time.
Nothing of a classic nature was attempt
ed at the old track yesterday. The best
race on the program was handicap at
seven furlongS, that produced one of the
most exciting finishes of the season. Kit
tie Platt, Escutcheon and Trapper finished
noses apart at the end of an interesting
struggle. The three placed horses were
about equal favorites ranging from to 5
to to 1. Kittie Platt came down on the
outside, and with strong finish Won by
a head. Jockey Seder tossed off q race on
DR.. Stephens, who quit and came again,
only to be beaten by Mezzo. Velos held
on long time, and was beaten only a
head by DR.. Stephens.
Hadrian, the Z to 5 favorite in the second
was easily beaten by Ed Early, 80 to 1
shot, who held Hadrian safe in the final
struggle. The talent is just getting famil-
lar with the fact that Montpelier is some
thing more than joke. Ogles got as good
as q to l against the son of Madison, and
he cleaned up. Opinion got away In good
position in the sixth race, and that settled
it, and there was no getting away from
Arch Oldham in the last. Summary:
