WINS RACE BY A NOSE

New Orleans, December 25.-The Christ mas handicap, which was the feature of the racing at the City Park track to- day, produced one of the most stirring finishes of the present racing season. Temaceo was the one that flashed past the judges a nose in front of Sally Pres ton, one of the outsiders in the betting and the pacemaker all the way around.
 An even dozen paraded to the post, with Temaceo and Yankee Girl dividing honors with Tileing as favorite. Tileing and Yankee Girl were both heavily played at to 3 as the talent figured that the race was between them. When the field reached the head of the stretch, Te- maceo was in the middle of the bunch and Jockey Notter was hard at work on him. At the paddock he was third and quickly wore down the lead of Sallie Preston and by a dint of brilliant riding on the part of Notter he managed to get up in time to win by nose.
 The largest crowd of the season was in attendance. Jockey Notter rode four winners and one second. Summaries.
