CITY PARK RACE TRACK. NEW Or
LEANS, La, Janaury 13.-This was the
thirty-ninth day OF the struggle for suprem-
acy in southern racing. but visitor to
the town would hardly know that the two
tracks were opposing each other.
Seven races, including the Lyric handicap,
were the routine at City Park. This, In
addition to the excellent weather that pre-
vailed was more than enough to draw a
large throng to the new course. The grand
stand was comfortably filled and many of
the spectators were of the fair sex. In fact,
there were probably nearly $500 on hand.
and they kept the nineteen books busy
handling the commissions.
Heavy going helped to keep down the list
of starters in the Lyric. 1t was for three
year-olds and upward, and twelve of them
were carded to start.
Lou NJ. was played for a good thing In
the opening race. Her recent form was not
such as to warrant it, but the shape players
went to her as If the race was all over.
Mcintyre had her under restraint for over
a mile and a half. then readily moved up
to the leaders and went to the front, win
ming easily by ten lengths from Harpoon.
Little Wally was third, half dozen lengths
back.
Nicols clever handling Of the FLY Frances
II. saved the talent from going down heav-
lily in the maiden two-year event He rode
the youngster in excellent fashion, and
after the leaders, Merry Leap Year and
The Piker, went wide on the stretch bend.
He rushed Frances H. through and soon
had a inning advantage. She won by a
length, while Arthur Rosenfeld got UP in
time to nose out Appreciation for the place.
Graham Beaten by Good Riding.
Lucy Young was the best in the third
race but, owing to the inability of the Lad
Graham to ride finish, he was beaten by
the S-to-1-shot Airship. The latter was
quick to begin, and in the first quarter
opened a gap of three lengths. This lead
he maintained to the stretch. Then Lucy
Young came to the outside of the field and
closed resolutely. She gained at every
stride, but Airship lasted long enough to
win by half length. Thespian was third,
two lengths back.
Corcuscate captured the Lyric stake In
one of the best contests ever seen at the
City Park track. IL was a race that was
interesting from the start account Of
the constant shifting of the positions OF
the horses, and 1t was not decided until the
very last jump, when Coruscate came with
a rush and just got up in time to nose out
Drexel. with the latter, Envoy, Yorkshire
Lad, Gus Hebron and Belden all crowding
one another for the place Drexel got 1t
