P|NKOLA CAPTURES
THE TEST STAKES
Wins Star Event of the Day at
City Park-Good Card,
Fine Weather.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW ORLEANS, La, November 30
With the best card of the meeting offered,
bright, sunshiny weather and the track in
good condition. the racing at City Park
this afternoon took on the color which
largest crowds of the meeting passed
through the turnStiles. The course was
in excellent shape as an extra force of
men had been placed to work on 1t at
daybreak and continued until the horses
were called to the post for the initial
event. The star event Of the afternoon
was the Test stakes. an all-aged event
with .1,OOO added. A small select field
started. with w. H. Fizer naming Pin
kola, while Herman Brandt accepted III
pounds for Barney Schreiber's Jack At
kin, which is considered one of the best
sprinters here. Keator. winner of the
initial handicap last Saturday, was
awarded the post of honor, 119 pounds
Something of the real quality of the
crack western colt Pinkola was shown
when he met and easily defeated Jack
Atkin. Jack Atkin was prohibitive-
priced favorite and Pinkola the second
choice at IL to 5. Pinkola was slightly
while ,Atkin had his weight UP. Pinkola
went to the front at the start, and, main
tanning a lead of about two lengths all
the way, had that margin at the finish
without ever having been forced to do
his best. keator. the other starter, was
never in the hunt.
Burlew and O'Neill scored in the third
race with the to 2 second choice La
Jeunesse. Ridden by j. Sumter. this
gelding went to the front following the
all the running, won quite handily. Miss
Mazonia, a 80 to l shot. got the place
with a margin Of two lengths over Ed
Kane. The latter was strong favorite
in the field. but had such a weird ride
from Koerner that his chance was ruined
before half the mile had been covered.
The boy rode bad race throughout, and
Ed Kane got third on his own courage.
A Rousing Finish.
In rousing finish that left the result
in doubt until the finish line was reached
Lens scored a nose victory over Refined
and Dargin in the fifth event. Lens was
one of the choices and was given splen-
did ride by Mountain. This was Pat
Dunne's first win at the meeting.
Starter Dade made such a bad mess OF
the send-off in the steeplechase that he
absolutely ruined one Of the days fea-
lures. w. K. Slade, a 2 to favorite, and
heavily backed, was left standing at the
post twenty yards behind the others, and
IN no position TO Dreak, his rfoer WISELY
pulling him up.
Bank Holiday, a 20 to 1 shot, also ee-
capped Mr.. Dade's vision. and he was al
most as badly off. With these two out OF
the way Corrigan's Magic, the second
choice in the betting, had little trouble in
winning. Even with his bad start Bank
Holiday finished an easy second and close
enough to the winner to leave the I'M
preston that had he got away on any
thing like the same terms he would have
easily beaten the Corrigan fencer.
Notter Wins on Caper.
Caper, a cast-off from the stable of
Rome Resspess, made runaway race Of
tho first, and there was to 1 to be had
against her.
1t was the first appearance at local
track of the eastern star. Jockey Notter
Who arrived this morning. and the fact
that Caper won was chic fly due to his SUI
periority over V. Powers and Delaby, the
riders of the second and third horses
Sister Polly probably was best, and with
equally good handling would have won in
stead of finishing third. She appeared to
be running past Caper in the stretch, but
Delaby was of no help to her and a strong
finish on Notters part decided the result
John Dillon, the crack steeplechaser,
owned by A. Noble, arrived last night
Jockey MaSnada. the Italian gentleman
rider, who turned professional at the fall
