NEW ORLEANS, February 5.-Kara
started the tongues of the cross-country
men wagging yesterday afternoon at the
City Park track when he Won the steepie-
chase in a common canter. 1t was MS
debut as jumper and he jumped ana
raced so well in front Of some good cam
paigners that he was hailed as possible
champion of the inner field.
No young steeplechaser in years has
shown so well in his first race as did Kara.
He went at the jumps resolutely, without
trace of fear. He had great speed and
easily opened up a gap of eight or ten
lengths In the early stage Of the race. He
soon had such a commanding lead that
Morrison, his rider. fearing a stumble,
took him up" sharply. This, however,
brought about the very thing he feared.
Kara. with his head held tight, landed bad
ly at two jumps, "pecked" slightly and
nearly fell, but he recovered quickly and
soon had winning advantage again.
These two slight mishaps were the only
mistakes he made. Morrison soon realized
that he was holding his horse under too
great restraint and gave him free rein.
Under this change Kara improved in his
jumping and won in a romp by six lengths.
Aules was second throughout the two-mile
journey
Lawless, handy little two-year-old,
owned by T. Clyde of Philadelphia, made a
good impression among trainers by Win
ming the first race. The deep, heavy mud
OF the track seemed to suit his short,
choppy stride, and he rushed to the front
from the start opened up a gap Of four
lengths and won by that margin.
Good Youngster.
Bucket Brigade. a youngster from the
stable of Z. r. Bradley, made a fine show
Ing for colt that had never faced the bar
rier In public. He was thought to be so
green that the bookmakers offered 100 to
i against him. In spite of this lack of faith
he showed plenty of speed. He was slow to
get In motion, but closed on, the leaders
with a great burst of speed in the stretch
and finished second.
With Tileing withdrawn, much of the in
terest in the La Garde selling stakes was
lost. Only five horses started-Grace Lar
sen, Tom Dolan. Lamp Trimmer and Elfall
Tom Dolan might have won if Seder had
ridden him with more patience, but he sent
him to the front and made the pace so fast
In the first seven furlongs that he quit at
the end. This gave Grace Larsen her
chance. She closed with rush for the out
side and under the whip won by a half
length.
Francis Trevelyan again presided in the
steward stand. He arrived this morning
from his farm in Virginia. He stated that
he had asked to be relieved of his duties
two weeks ago. but President Burnes was
time Rather than inconvenience the club
he said that he would return for this meet
