NEW ORLEANS, La. Feb liking YIN
ter was the most prominent and urSa{r
come guest of the racing at the Fat
Grounds this afternoon, and the usual,
light attendance found little to enthusc
over In the mediocre quality OF the
sport.
A claiming race over the mile and q
quarter distance was served as the feat
ure. 1t went to the consistent Gour-
mand. which won his sixth victory oi
the season under Wilson's handling
after he had followed the pace provided
by Pictor to the final eighth, where he
assumed command and finished a length
ridden Gray Gables. The latter got uI
just In time to relieve Pictor of place
honors after he had been kept under
stout restraint until the final sixteenth.
Kings Champion, the only other starter.
was never factor. He dropped steadily
back from the start and was beaten off.
The weather had it's effect upon the
acunen of the form players, who re-
fused to have anything TO do with Iron
Boy or Miss Rankin, both OF which were
rapidly receding favorites and faced the
barrier with less support than the ma
jority of others in their races. But each
raced well and won by wide margins.
