New Orleans, Dec. 15.-The rain that set
in this forenoon caused quite a change
ia tie programme at City Park. There
was a wholesale amount of scratching.
and every event on the card suffered 20
some extent Even though the weather
was inclement an unusually large crowd
was out, and twenty-seven bookmakers
were IN line. The card that was Of
fered was one of the best that has ever
been seen here
With the change in the track conditions
form was at a discount, as only one
favorite managed TO get home in front.
This solitary choice was DebaT, which
was held al even money.
The feature of the afternoon was the
Test Stakes, at six furlOngs, with an
added value of S1.000. The running Of
the Test Stakes proved to be quite a
disappointment to the public, as they fig
ured that the Burlew & ONeiH trio had
the race al its mercy. So strong did the
talent figure Royal Breeze, Juggler, and
Fantastic that they made them the odds
on favorites. The trio were held at the
prohibitive price of to 5 Charlie East
man ruled n strong second choice through
out, and probably had as big a following
as the favOTites.
Winner Bad at Post.
Starter Cassidy kept the field at the
post for a few minutes on account of
Charlie Eastman's bad acting When the
field were on their way Fantastic showed
in front with De ORC until the first quarter
had been travbersed. Charlie Eastman
who had Mountain in the saddle was on
the extreme outside and raced up with
the leaders. The three were head and
head, until shortly before the turn into
the hOmesJretch, where Charlie Eastman
drew away, and under hard pressure won
driving by a length and half from Fan
taStic Royal Breeze ran very wide at
the turn for home. losing whatever
chance he may have had to win. Still
he was so much better than the balance
he got third place Bertha z, which had
considerable support from long shot
players, was caught in a jam in the start
and had little chance afterward. Juggler
was eased up in the last quarter. De ORC
stopped to d walk when the stretch was
reached.
