Crack O. Dawn Win at
Jefferson Park.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
New ORLEANS, Dec. 30.--What will
go down in the records as twenty-six
days of midwinter racing was brought
to close at Jefferson this afternoon.
marked by doubleNvictory for Sam
Louis. the Kansas City halter man.
whose Knight Of the Heather and
Crack o. Dawn contributed much OF
the class in an exceedingly cheap days
sport. Sergeant Mortimer Murphy and
Apprentice Mein shared the honors
with Louis because they were trainer
and rider of the victorious pair.
The ordinary program attracted an
attendance below normal holiday stand
ards.
Anticipation Of $1,000 minimum
purses at the Fair Grounds meet. which
is next on the program, had the effect
OF keeping a great many good horses
from to-day's program so that the fea-
ture Bogalusa Claiming Handicap at
tracted none other than platers. Knight
Of the Heather. a cast off Of r. T. Will
sons stables, which Louis wisely claimed
sin Maryland. showed another good per-
formance when he came from one Of
the rearward positions through the
final sixteenth of the six furlong con-
test and snatched the honors from Had
rian. Picnic and four others including
the weirdy ridden High Cost and the
disappointing Valor. Meln handled the
winner with the sagacity of veteran.
The youngsters handling Of Crack
o Dawn required less skill after Despair
wheeled at the barrier and Mock Orange
refused to extend himself. There was
little disposition among the six others
to dispute his lead. so that the son of
The Manager galloped off to a wide
lead with Servitor. his closest atten-
dant. four lengths away. The order re-
mained unchanged SO far as they were
concerned, to the end. Belgian Queen,
who ran half mile on her last outing
with cheaper opposition. was a different
mare to-day and took the short end
from Bridesman, possibly because the
latter went wide on both turns, under
an odd looking ride by Lang.
