LADY CAROLINE II
BEAT GOOD FIELD

NEW ORLEANS, February 27.-Lady
Caroline II, a two-year-old FLY by Gold
smith. won the opening scramble yesterday
at the Fair Grounds. Her success was
made noteworthy by the fact that her sire
raced at this track two days ago.
1t Is not often that this novelty Of the
turf Is witnessed by racegoers. 1t is quite
common among harness horses to have a
sire and some of his progeny race in the
same season, but with thoroughbreds 1t is
different. The old guard of turfmen were
unable to recall similar case except dur
ing the sos when the stallion Gov. Hamp-
ton raced one of his get, a filly, at the
Brighton Beach track They had a hard
tussle, but the old fellow earned the judges
decision.
Goldsmith was one of the late w. C.
Whitney's .favorite race horses. When he
carried the railroad magnate'S yale blue,
with bronze cap he was fast and stout OF
heart. There were only two or three colts
that could beat him as a two-year-old. A
cold brought on pneumonia. which left him
a legacy in the form of thick wind. He
was sold by Harry Payne Whitney. and
since then has earned q precarious livel-
hood as selling platter.
Inherited Speed.
Lady Caroline II inherited some of the
speed that made her sire noted. and she
beat a promising lot of two-year-olds in a
driving finish She made all the running
and held her lead long enough to win by a
nose at the post. Gremse was second
throughout the contest.
Israelite, once track record breaker and
member of James r. keene's band of
blue-blooded thoroughbred aristocrats, came
to the end Of his career as race horse In
the third race. While racing in the home
stretch his near fore leg was broken.
The accident happened directly in front
of the occupants of the grand stand. When
the bone in the leg snapped Israelite fell
heavily. Pickett, his jockey, shot out OF
hit the fence rail with great force. He was
picked up unconscious and bleeding by the
track police. He came to his senses later
under treatment.
Meanwhile the horsemen tried to raise
Israelite to his feet, but the old horse. suf-
ferng intensely, was unable to stand. Find
ing all efforts to move him futile. vete-
rinary surgeon was called, who shot the
horse.
