NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 21.-An-
geius. the whitney cast-or. brought
down here by Burlew and O'Nein,
proved his class when he captured the
Preliminary Derby en- the City Park
track this afternoon IN a driving finish
with Miss Delaney
The glory of the victory must be given
to Mcdaniel. who rode the colt out to
the last ounce, and by an almost super
hur-an effort. landed him across the
line a winner by the shortest OF heads
Miss Delaney ran the best race Get
ting off absolutely last, she worked her
way Up through the bunch. and was in
sixth place when she hit the head Of
the stretch. Delaby used the whip with
all his strength and passed all but the
leader a sixteenth from the wire. II
was a struggle between Mcdaniel and
Dels.by. The long drive OF Miss De-
laney tired her too much. and she was
not able 70 overhaul AngelUs.
Rival Stars Scratched.
The race was marred 20 a certain ex-
tent by the scratching OF Chapultepec,
the hope Of the Fasteners. and Pinkola,
the fast Western flyer. This contest
a
mining the better Of the pair. It is
hardly probable that they will be seen
under coIors until a few days before the
running Of the Southern classics.
The value of the purse, $3.50. was so
attractive that six starters were added
at post time. They might as well have
stayed in their stalls, as all finished out
of the money.
The real plunge Of the day came IN
the second race, when Ia SOeur, which
belongs 10 Louis A Celia. finished first
under the wire, six lengths in front Of
Bounding Elk La SOeur was backed
by the Cellas in the rooms all over the
country, and they cleared up $4,000 on
the victory. La Soeur opened at 9 10 8.
but vas backed to 3 70 Q
Marbles Causes Howl.
The form displayed by Marbles, Bud
Mays entrant. which was held at to
TO- caused a howl from the form players
Marbles did not show enough speed to
beat a fat man up an alley, and finished
third from last.
DR.. McCluer helped John J. Ryan, of
"get-rich-quicl1'' notoriety, to win a
nice bet when he captured the closing
race of the day. Although held at to
d. Ryan sent a commission Of 5000 to
the track and got on at these odds.
