GOLDIC WINS HANDICAP.
Garner and COrrIsan's Colt in Front Of
james ReddlOk.

New ORLEANS, Dec. 22.-This was the
| closing day Of the first fortnight Of racing
given by the City Park Jockey Club and
everything seemed to favor the final days
l sport. Bright sunshine and cool weather
brought out a good sized crowd to witness
the running of the Cypress Handicap and six
other races.
The handicap had an added value OF 81 500

Ellison's good three-yesr-old. having the post

of being ~favorite. The Ellison horse ruled

was dropped in at 90 pounds.

when he was beaten OF by an ordinary lot OF
selling ~platers, the layers took much liberty
with him at the start. However. the real

pened to Goldic In his previous race. The
colt was hustled to the front by Garner, who

the road where the result seemed In doubt
James Reddick made his usual game, honest
bid in the stretch, but the weight told and he
finished an ordinary second. while Shawana

The last race Of the day, one mile and a siV-
tenth. furnished the most excitement TO the
spectators. Foreigner and Kleinwood had
the race between them all through the last
half mile, but Mcmahon. who rode the former,
was no match for Mountain when the finish
