lures at Fair Grounds.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW YosK HERALD.
New ORLEANS, L.. Jan. Marvin
May. Tom Hare. Jr.. and BY Gone Days
were the winners OF the triple features
at the Fair Grounds to-day. Victory fl,
each instance was convincing and en-
thused an attendance only slightly re-
duced by the weather. Track conditions
were bad because OF the heavy rains OF
the previous night and the afternoon
was gloomy.
While Tom Hare. Jr.. accounted for
the richest purse, Marvin May took the
big sentimental feature. the fifth annual
running of the Johnny Powers Memorial
Purse. named for one OF the most popu-
lar trainers the American turf has
known. Good horses have invariably ac-
counted for the Powers. and Marvin
May showed himself entitled to rank
with the best of them.
Fort Churchill set out TO provide the
pace and ran the first half mile In II 20
seconds. The effort proved exhausdng
and Marvin May went to the lead, wnich
was threatened at the finish by High
Cost, the heavily backed odds on favor
ito, which was compelled to accept sec
ond without apparent excuse. The Pow
ers Memoria! plate becomes the tenn
porary property OF Mrs. f. ;. Peabody
Of Chicago.
Tom Hare. Jr. in the c. w. Clark
colors, proved himself easily superior TO
the field that faced the starter Garner
| had him away winging and he gradually
increased the lead until he had four
lengths TO snare at the end over Com
nander McMee6in. Modesty and six
| others.
News that the District Attorney OF
Orleans parish had decided after
conference with the States Attorney
General to refrain from ordering FUR
ther arrests OF alleged bookmakers tenn
porariiy was gleefully received. Inc
criminal calendar has been blocked WITT
hundreds of cases since the District
Attorney assumed office more tnan
year ago. He started early in the week
or order daily arrests OF the same in
dividuaIs, many OF whom have similar
en- ses Of years standing pending
without having been tried.
Jack Reeves, nine-year-old and long
| q local favorite, staged a brilliant
stretch rush and rot up IN the laet
stride to relieve Harvest King Of the lead.
Our Birthdays victory In the final was
| cieverly achieved.
