The Washington herald., 1906-12-13

New Orleans. Dec. 12-The gathering Of
delegates from the American Turf AssO-
citation again stirred up lot Of gossip
I concerning the rival racing factions in
this city. Many rumors were heard this
forenoon to the effect that the City Park
Jockey Club would run against the Fair
Grounds on Christmas Day, notwith-
standing the peace agreement which
was entered into by both parties last
summer at New York. Both associations,
through the general managers, denied
that they intended renewing the turf war.
President HeasIip, of the City Park Club,
when asked about the rumors that his
track would race against the Fair
Grounds on Christmas, said: we entered
into an agreement to split the dates here
this winter and will keep up our part of
the pact"
There was not very much TO the racing
this afternoon. An Of-day card, with no
special feature. was provided. The best
race of the day came out of the six fur
long purse affair in which Meadow
zreeze was the public choice. Meadow
breeze and st. Valentine furnished the
excitement for the spectators. as they fin
ished noses apart. As usual St Valen-
tine was away very poorly and outrun
in the early stages. Jockey Garner, who
was brought here by James Mccormick,
had the mount on the one-time racer. and
had he made his move a bit sooner he
would have won beyond a question Cf
