at New Orleans.

Special Despatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
| NEW ORLEANS, La. Jan. 7.-Talisman.
accepted as a sprinter throughout her
racing career by form students. supplied
the big surprise of the card when she
took the measure of the tried route
traveller Dancing Spray in the Joan OF
Arc purse at the Fair Grounds to-day.
! Bright skies and tropical temperature
attracted an unusually large attendance.
Talisman took the lead at the start and
staged duel with Dancing Spray. which
| held throughout the mile distance. There
were four others entered but they were
never factors Talisman gained a slight
advantage through the middle journey
when Dancing Spray encountered a soft
spot along the rail- but the latter re-
| covered quickly and raced up alongside
Talisman at the final quarter. The pair
| fought stride for stride for the remaining
journey, with Talisman getting the
judges eye first by a nose. Inquiry, ten
lengths back, was third. The time,
:394-5, was considered good over the
fast drying track.
The Johnny Dundee stable was again
compelled to accept second as it's por-
ton when Star Time. a good looking
golding by Star Shoot and Anytime,
outgamed the Dundee representative,
One Pin, in the drive which took place
throughout the final stages Of the three
furlong dash for Juveniles. The heavily
played favorite Big Noise finished third
after having shown decided lack Of
racing education.
Pimlico tried to run out rounding the
first turn and later tried to stop at every
stride throughout the last half of the
mile and seventy yards of the Rookie
La,N IL. - l.. 49,
by persistent urging enabled him to
graduate over Richelieu.
The consistent Harry Burgoyne held
sway throughout six furlongs ana took
the measure of Blaise, Teachers Pet
and ten others.
Floyd Romer. the Sheepshead Bay
turfman, finally became owner Of a
winner. when Rolo led his field through
out and lasted to take the six furlong
claiming event over Omer X. thereby
spilling an attempted coup by the Bux-
ton confederacy. Omar K was un-
fortunate at the start but finished
stoutly.
Dahabiah II. and On High took the
other races.
The stewards ordered Burgoyne re-
turned to c. p. Winfrey, because of ir-
regularities discovered in connection
with the recent claim for the gelding.
The District Court Of Jefferson Parish
sustained the demurrer filed by counsel
for T. A. Mcbride in connection with
alleged violation of the Locke betting
law at the Jefferson track recently The
Court held that the Locke law stipulated
devices, or memoranda outlined by the
District Attorney in the Mcbride case
were not devices as intended by the law.
A suspension appeal to the Supreme
Court was granted and the time set for
January "a. To-day's decision is re-
garded as a sweeping victory by the
racing interests.
