MOTHERS GREAT RIDE
EARNS A DEAD HEAT

NEW ORLEANS, December 4-The rae
ing yesterday at the City Park track was
enlivened by dead heat, the first of the
meeting. 1t came in the third race, when
Hans and La Jeunesse finished on such
even terms that the judges were unable to
decide which finished first and hung out
their decision as dead heat.
1t was finish of the kind that starts
the blood leaping in ones veins. La
Jeunesse was the favorite and should
have won easily, but Mcdaniel. who rode
him, was overconfident and played into
the hands OF Notter. who rode slashing
finish on Hans and brought him up in
time to pass the winning post on even
terms.
The loss of half of the first money was n
serious blow to the eastern contingent
Every one to a man placed his bankroll
on the son of Star Shoot, as he seemed to
have mortgage on the race. He was
clearly the best horse and had speed
enough to win. AS La Jeunesse Is one Of
the most courageous geldings in training
it only needed a little rousing on the part
of Mcdaniel in the last furlong to keen
him in front and land the money But
MCDANIEL was day dreaming and his
apathy lost many thousands of dollars for
the men from Gotham.
The bets on La Jeunesse and Hans were
split in proportion to the amount of
2 to 1 respectively. This was done he
cause the owners agreed to divide the
purse.
Quadrille Wins for Northerners.
A grain of comfort was handed the
horsenen from Sheepshead and Graves
end who are quartered here when
Quadrille won the fourth race With
only 1O7 pounds up on this one-time

assisted his chances materially while IL
retarded TO certain extent the chance

track he was made the favorite at ) to 3
