NEW ORLEANS CRO0KEDNESS.
Races Are Fixed by n Jockey Trust
Which Controls Riders.

New York. Feb. 6-Horsemen, who have
been up against the game in New Or
leans, say that a Jockey trust exists
there. In other words, they insinuatc
that several noted riders are controlled
by well-known spectators, both layers
and players. and that they are handling
horses in shocking manner.
They say that these riders take care of
public choices when the layers are after
the talent money, and that when the
checks are down on other occasions the
jockeys do their best
1t is not at all surprising that such
charges are made when it is taken into
consideration that both the tracks at the
Crescent City are in the hands of the
gambling element which has helped TO
kill the sport in Illinois, Missouri. Ten
