In "Peculiar'' Race
At Jefferson Park
Burke Gives General Haig.
Backed From 8-5 to 3.5.
IndifferentRide in Feature
From a Special corresponder.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec A fno
crowd sweltered in the stands at JEFF
ferson Park here this afternoon to
witness as poor a card as has been
seen here since the season opened
Favorites were almost completely rele-
gated to the background and more
than one race had peculiar" aspects.
In the jefferson handicap, which was
the feature, General Haig, which was
backed down from to 8 to 3 to 5,
finished second to Lucky B, a 8 to |
shot, with Pimlico, third.
Jockey Burke apparently did every
thing possible to retard the progress OF
the favorite and he was roundly
hissed when he drew up after the race.
General Haig had rail post position
and, although the start was good, this
one was left fatfooted. Despite the
heavy play on the Stoner, Burke
trailed along as if he were headed for
nowhere in particular.
Nearing the finish, Burke urged hi,
mount, which responded with a fine
burst of speed, but the favorite was no
far back that he was lucky to taso
second place. The race looked very
bad.
Jockey Lang, who rode three win
ners Yesterday, repeated this stunt this
afternoon, winning with Malvolio, Fort
Churchill and Warlike.
