NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 13.-Followers Of
form admitted the worst drubbing of the
season to their deadly foes the oralizers
at the Fair Grounds to-day. All seven
winners were supported sufficiently to
cause additional Withdrawals from the
ranks that have been sadly depleted dur
ing the last week.
Josephine Weidels score in the opener,
Juvenile event. started tine ball aroll-
ing, when the Kentucky delegation made
tts appearance at post time and flooded
the ring with heavy commissions. only
part of which were placed because of
the quick departure of the field from the
barrier. Josephine won in a hard drive
from the neglected outsider, Bully But
tons. while the favorite. Bashful. lived
up to her name by refusing to engage In
the early contention. She finished fourth,
apparently lacking in education.

Herschler in gallop after he had led his
field OF five the greater part of the mile
and seventy yards distance to win from
Vice-Chairman. The Wit and two others.
Day of Peace scored his third victory

sharply from an extreme outside position
at the start of the mile and seventy
yards event, to tax the lead. He held

others.

heavily backed into favoritism and took
the six furlong event handily after a
brilliant run through the stretch from
an early rearward position. He was
later claimed by II, Trotter.

handling. acted kindly at the barrier
