ACE HIGH WINS
AGAIN AT new ORLEANS

| NEW ORLEANS, December o.-ln
perversity of mankind is proverbial. ana
as the racehorse has all the ills and
| whims of human being 1t is but natural
| that he shares in the moods of his mas
| ters All of which applies to the persist
ent manner in which Ace High continues
| to win, now that his owner, Big Tim
Sullivan, is sore at heart against the
sport of kings
Ace High won the fourth race at the
City Park track yesterday afternoon, and
Dummy" didn't play him. There
was a time when the big politician
| from New York would have been greatly
| pleased at the receipt Of this news, out
| in his present frame of mind he does not
much care whether they win or lose. His
! heart is black against the ponies. for
the good things ne had during the sum-
mer cost him 100000.
| OF course, Archie thinner sent word to
| Big Tim" that Ace High would win.
| That was part of Arches duty; 1t also
met with his inclination to try and cheer
I'D his employer. thinner had worked
hard over the son of Troubadour. got
him in frst-class condition and felt GER
| tain that the horse would win. Whether
! the owner placed a bet on the horse or
not was not known to thinner up to
late hour last night. All Archie could do
was to hope for the best.
Kelly Wasted Ace High Speed.
Ace High won by a neck in a driving
finish. His small winning margin was
due to his jockey, Pete Kelly, who rode
his mount over the Oregon TRAIL which
meant many yards further than was nee
essary Kelly has never been considered
a shining light in the saddle, but even
his friends did not consider him as poor
a horseman as his work in the saddle I'm
this race indicated. He dropped Ace High
out of the race in the early stages and
then came so wide in the, stretch that 1t
took the horses best efforts to earn the
! Judges decision in the last stride.
! Avaunteer was the pacemaker by five
lengths to the head of the stretch. where
he nearly came to walk. 1t was this
lack of speed on the part of AVaunteer IN
the end that assisted Ace High to win.
/ Edward Corrigan. the master of Haw-
rhorne," made the bookmake-s squirm
when his horse Dunnng won the steeple-
| chase This branch of the sport is now
one of Corrigans best assets, for he has
many good horses that are capable of
winning through the field Dunning had
proved in private and in. public his abil-
ity to jump cleverly and 30 two miles be-
| tween the flags, and as he was opposed

post in front by neck. For the first
| circuit OF the field he was under a
strong pull and went to the front easily.
hut after he had cleared the last OBJ
stacle his stride shortened perceptbly,
and it was only under Heide-'s vigorous
riding that he managed to remain In
front long enough to win. Bank Hol-
day closed with great rush, but just
failed to earn the money for his hackers.
Chapultepec Initiates Colin.
Chapultepec made his initial appear
ance in this city in the opening dash.
This halr-brother of De Mund. for which
$4,000 was refused this summer. slipped
in among a cheap lot of selling platers.
and the way be heat them made him
stand out as Colin. Only odds of l to
6 were offered against his chance. but this
price small as it was, was very safe
investment, TO he rushed to the front
at the rise of the barrier, opened a gap
of six lengths, and under a hard pull ran
to the finish and won champing at the
bit by eight lengths. Tartar Maid was
. always second.
