NEW ORLEANS. La. April 6.-Lancas-
TRAN and James Reddick. the crack pair
of c. r. Ellison, captured the long and
short ends of the Lyric handicap at the
City Park today. Alma Dufour, Ed CorrI-
gan's good mare, carrying the top weight
of III pounds, was sandwiched in between.
The race was an exercise gallop for Lam
castrian from start to finish. Lee, the
negro Jockey. sent him to the front when
the barrier was raised and opened up six
lengths in the first half mile without ever
being extended.
Lancastrian and James Reddick were
even-money favorites at one stage of the
betting. That was eagerly accepted by
the stables followers, and 1 to 3 was the
prevailing figures at the close. Alma Du-
four made game bid in the stretch, but
she had lot of trouble in beating Harry
Stephens for second money. James Reddick
looked as though he would finish second
at the top of the stretch, but weakened
badly in the final twenty yards, where
Alma Dufour passed him out.
The six furlongs selling event produced
the most exciting finish of the day, the
first three horses coming to the finishing
line heads apart. Posing slipped through
on the rail at the head of the stretch and
after hard drive beat the pacemaker,
Wild lrishman by a head Telescope was
the same distance back in third place.
The followers of the Corrigan stable
cashed several large wagers through the
victory of Creolin in the full course steeple-
chase, in which the aged gelding went TO

won by a half length. Scharheld, the post
favorite stopped badly near the end but
saved third money.
The racing career of Gould, a jumper,
who has won any number of races here.
was put to an end by policeman with
bullet in his head. Gould broke his leg
at a jump almost directly in front of the
grandstand second time around.
A dozen maiden two-year-old fllies lined
up before Starter Dwyer in the opening
event, with NJ. J. Days Emma G. as
the favorite. The Daily FLY was taken ON
extensively on account of her previous
good races. She certainly fattered her
hackers with great hopes until the last
| twenty yards, where she began to weaken,
and Dona H. 1910 chance, closing with
a rush, got up in time to beat her neck

while Lady Irene, supposed good thing,
was never in the hunt.
Morales, w. II. Fizer's Commoner colt,
ridden by Andrew Minder, proved easily
| best of his field in the seven-furlong purse
event, and going to the front at the rise
of the barrier, hardly left the result In
doubt Minder allowed the colt to rate
along and crossed the finishing line three
lengths to the good Fantastic and Gar.

and third, neither of them having much
opposition for their positions. Spion, OF
