Three FAVORITES
WIN AT NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS, January 31.-The
cold wave swept over the eastern own
ers who raced their horses at the City
Park track. with the result that not one
of the men from Gotham won a dollar
in bets on their horses or in purses.
Seven races. all heavily filled with con-
testants. afforded the groundwork for good
prices, but as only three favorites won
the majority of the racegoers wendell their
way homeward at the conclusion Of the
sport broken in spirit and purse
The successful choices were Pinion. s
to 5; John Carroll, even money, and Hans.
6 to 5. The first named beat a field OF
fifteen maiden two-year- in the open
ing scramble very easily. She showed all
the speed that has marked her private
work and won by six lengths, after lead
ing from the start
John Carroll Sulked.
John Carroll gave his hackers a few
qualms of uneasiness by sulking during
the early stages of the fourth race. but
moved up to the leaders with a great
rush in the final furlong and passed the
winning post a length ahead. The west
ern contingent voted the winner. the one
best bet OF the day and he won thousands
of dollars by his finish.
The big fields of horses in each race
served as a good excuse to the rough
riders" and they took advantage of it
to intimidate, hamper and interfere with
the more timid jockeys. Some of the
races were not truly run, as the best
horses were damned out Of their positions
early in the Contests and were unable to
make up the lost ground. Nifo suffered
in the fifth race and had to be pulled up.
Donna Elvira was a victim OF this kind
of riding in the sixth. and Druid. caught
in a wedge, stumbled and threw P. Kelly.
