COLTILETTI S RIDE
BIG AID TO WRECKER
Enables Him to Beat Thimblc
by a Nose at jefferson
Park Track.

Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HrRALp.
NEW ORLEANS, La. Dec. 1.-The old
familiar deceptive angle came back to
prominence this afternoon at jefferson
Park when Wrecker, running In Albert
Simmons's colors, was awarded the YER
dict over the heavily backed favorite
Thinlble, which ran In Sergeant Morti-
Tor the lead throughout the long stretch
run and Coltiletti's superior horseman-
ship saved the day for the Simmons cam
didate in the last stride. There were
vigorous howls of disapproval from the
rhimble hackers and one was elected
rom the grounds.
Skies that had threatened throughout
the morning finally uniocsed Their mois-
ture with tornado like suddenness as
the field went to the barrier for the Sec
ond race, and the track was converted
into sea OF slop within few minutes.
owners of horses incapable of running
n the mud made hurried pleas to with
draw. and some OF the remaining fields
we're reduced in consequence.
Lampus, the second one of Willie Mar
tins purchases of yesterday from Albert
hat tried conclusions over the mile and
three-sixteenths in the sixth. Lampus
was heavily suppoi ted by foreign COM
missions and justified handsomely by
coming away In the stretch after he had
disposed of the Il st receding fLvorite
General Haig, which was incapably rid
en- by Burke.
Jimmy Butwell signalized his first
saddle appearance of the Southern sea-
son by plotting Fort Churchill to victory
in the fifth over the six furlong route.
Fort Churchill showed all his higl early
speed to the delight of those who had
backed him "a odds-cn. but he short sned
his stride in the final furlong when mis-

whistling like calliope as he staggered
