Special Dispatch to THE NEW YORK HErAlp
NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb. Islands OF
Pleasure, in the j. VI. Goode & Co.
colors, proved popular victor in the
Comns Handicap, the mile and a six
teenth event which topped the stellar
| program OF the week.
Eight answered the call, and left the
barrier in good style, with Bunga Buck
and United Verde making the pace on
the inner path. 1t was a firing effort
for they were forced to give way to
Costigan. which Lang had sent along
the outer path. He went into The lead
at the half mile ground, followed By
Sands Of Pleasure. The wisdom or
their selection was shown when they
drew out ut the final eighth to fight
| the remainder OF the battle.
BurlSe's powerful handling got Sands
of Pleasure home neck in advance,
while United Verde. under an intell-
gent ride by Garner, had no trouble
taking the measure of Bunga Buck and
the others. Burke was a last minute
substitution for Pool who had been
struck on the eye by flying ciod
while riding High Cost in an earlier
race.
To the delight of the monster holi.

when he piIoted Walnut Hall to vic
tory in the sixth. mile and a sixteenth
event. The Crist campaigner led from
