AT FAIR GROUNDS
Runs True to Form and Beats
Parader in Old Town
Handicap.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 15.-veto's clever
accounting for the Old Town Handi-
cap, the reduction Of the three furlong
track record Of long standing by the
speedy juvenile Lord Allen, the sud
den awakening of Mahony and Dr.
Carmen in their respective races and
the insistence OF the stewards that a
lame horse race despite his apparent
condition were some of the features
at the Fair Grounds to-day.
Moderated weather brought out an
other record attendance to witness
Veto dominate the mile and a six
teenth running of the Old Town. IN
der restraint for six furlongs, his rider,
Lyke, was compelled to rouse him
when Parader, which had always
forced the pace, threatened at the
stretch entrance, whereupon Veto
drew away TO his one length victory
in :46 3-5.
Lord Allen, good looking son of
Frizzle-Mary King. running for r. ].
Pendergast, overcame the handicap of
an extreme outside position at the start
of the three furlong dash and raced
quickly over to the rail, entering the
stretch to complete the distance in
IA As. two-fifths of a second faster
than the previous record created by
Westy Hogan in 1916.
Mahony's sudden awakening was ac
complished in the Sunny South Handi-
cap when he held sway throughout to
win in a gallop over the heavily backed
Columbia Tenn, Archie Alexander and
seven others.
DR.. Garments score was contributed 20
by severa factors, which included the
sudden lameness that befell the heavily
backed favorite, Lads Love. Immediately
after his arrival at the barrier The
gelding hobbled badly. and after having
been removed to the outer rail, his
rider, Nolan. pleaded with the stewards
for permission to withdraw. That was
refused He broke behind his company
and was quickly eased Hp while Dr. Car
man sprinted off to MS lead.
Jockey T. Rowan's listless handling of
Biff Bang, the rapidly receding favorite
In this event. provoked much adverse
comment. No action was reported by
