New Orleans La, Dec S-The first
meeting Of the Crescent City Jockey Club
came to an end this afternoon, and racing
on Monday will be resumed at the City
Park track.
The feature of the dag was the Pre-
Hmlnary Derby Handicap at six furlongs
for two-year-old colts and fillies. 1t was
a representative field that paraded 10
the post in the Preliminary Derby; in
fact the best field that has ever con
tested for this event in its history.
Twenty-six layers were unable to handle
all of the wagers that were offered. The
arrival of the New York delegation made
things more than interesting, and the fact
that quite a number of Eastern horses

caused brisk speculation. The Prelimin-.
airy Derby was the fourth event on the
card. 1t brought a field of twelve, which
was by far the largest that has ever
contested for the prize, which was worth
about $500. In the betting the O'Neil
and Burlew trio, Judge Post. Fantastic,
and Royal Breeze were made favorites,
at TO .. and the books. not caring TO
overlook any bets. also made Glamor an
equal choice.
Fantastic All the Way.
Fantastic showed the way from the
time the barrier was released until the
finish on in front, Fantastic was never
headed, but at that she had TO be hard
ridden, and just managed to get home
half length in front of De ORC. one Of the
leaders in the betting. The latter saved
deal Of ground coming home, and
showed more than the usual amount of
gameness. Glamor met with lot of in
reference during the running Of the race.
She was crowded back at the start and
also had 10 go wide through the stretch.
Her race at that was an excellent one,
and had she met with decent racing luck
would have, in all probability. won.
Tom Mannix named after a popular
Eastern owner, threw a bomb in the ia
vOrite followers by taking down the open
ing event at the odds of 20 to l from
fair field.
In the closing event ScaIplock fell just
as the paddock was reached, but his rider

and A. Morgan. her jockey had a narrow
escape, as over half the field passed over
him. Morgan was carried home on the
outside of the track, and. strange to say,
only suffered from few slight bruises.
Jack Martin. who viii ride as a free
lance, will be here tomorrow. as will
Mars Cassidy, who will do the starting al
City Park.
The present meeting of the Crescent
City Jockey Club which came TO an end

price of admission had been raised and
that no wagers under s. would be accept
