TILEING A DISAPPOINTMENT
JOCKEY GARNER VERY ILL

NEW ORLEANS, February 7.-Tileing's
reputation was furnished yesterday after
noon at the City Park track He finished
fourth in field of five horses in the ham
dicap race and his stock as derby candi-
date dropped nearly to the zero mark. st.
Valentine, known as the "old mud pillow"
was the winner of the race.
Although Tileing was asked by the scales
to give considerable weight to his oppo-
nents he was considered to be so much
the best in the fifth race that he was made
the favorte. His recent showing in mud,
coupled with the fact that he only had to
carry 1O4 pounds, caused many clever
horsemen to back him. The other contes-
tants were ''mudders of first quality, but
as the distance was only a mile, which was
thought to be too short for them, Tileing
was regarded as the probable winner.
Failed Utterly.
But the son of Hastings failed utterly.
He quit like yellow hound when put to
the test, and last night. trainers declared,
he has as much chance to win the Crescent
City Derby, for which he was the favorte
twenty-four hours ago, as has a dog to
whip a lion
Tieng was ridden by Farrow. Some
of the regulars We're inclined to place
the blame at the jockeys door, but I'M
biased spectators were unable to find fault
with his hOrSemanShip. Farrow rode to
orders During the early stages of the race
he held Tileing back until nearing the six
furlong pole and then hustled him hard.
But instead of responding the colt showed
that he was tired and slowed up. This gave
st. Valentine the race in a driving finish
by a half length. Granada the early pace
maker finished third.
Goldproof raced back to his previous good
form by taking the lead early in the fourth
race. He was opposed by a number of fast
sprinters, but easily held them for speed
and beat them out by two lengths
Friends of Jockey Garner state that he is
seriously ILL., A few days ago he was
forced to retire. from the saddle by an at
tack of bronchitis. Instead of improving
under treatment he has steadily grown
worse. He caught another cold, and the
physicians fear an attack of pneumonia.
