According to we'll known turf fol.

New Orleans, La, yesterday, there
seems little likelihood of resumption oi
racing at the present scheduled meet

breaking of the levee. All the horses

The jefferson Park meeting, before
the accident was exceptionally success
Iul despite many drawbacks. The
weather has been extremely moist for
one thing. The townsfolk, however
always have been kindly to racing, and
there are far more visitors this season
