Racing fans were treated to mag
nificent sport at A-muz-u Park last
Sunday afternoon, one OF the many
thrilling features of the classy card
being the esta blishment OF a new
track record of 2:15, which was hung
up by Billy Sam in the first heat Of
the Glass A event. Mrs. Joseph T.
Landry's speedy PAGER, skillfully driy-
en- by Bob Stewart, handily defeat
ed Amelia Ball in both rounds OF
this event, but the fast Alexandria
mare, with Abe MiIliman handling
the reins, was contender at all
times, and made things interesting
for the New Orleans horse, particu-
larry in the second heat. The pace
proved too swift for Amelia, how
ever, and she fell back in the final
quarter of the deciding round, at
ter running Billy Sam a neck-and-
neck race for ree-fourths OF the
distance Cayce Jones behaved bad
ly and was not in the running at
any time, and Bessie r. did not
succeed in hitting her stride. bat
showed flashes of speed which dem
onstrated that she will be heard
from later in the season. The first
mile of the second heat was run
in l :06.
In the Glass B event Sailor Boy,
displaying consistent form, was an
easy winner. Nellie G. challenged in
both heats, but could not keep her
feet, although finishing second with
a good lead.
The field in the Glass c event was
composed Of maidens, who had never
before faced a starter. Judge Df-
rect proved the winner, coming from
behind and annexing the second and
third heats after the first had been
won by Gypsy Maid. Dido Direct
landed second place in all three
rounds, and third honors went to
Gypsy Maid, who flashed under the
wire first in the initial heat and was
third in the second trial.
Threatening weather kept the at
tendance down, but a fair-sized crowd
was present to enjoy the sport. The
judges were W. G. Hanson, J. J. La
fargue and u. a. Rousseau, Time
keeper, Sidney Weber, OF Baton
Rouge. Starter, R. H. shockency.
