THIMBLE SCORES IN
TULANE HANDICAP
Perfectly Ridden by Lang, She
Wins Third Straight
Victory.

Special Dispatch to THE New YonK HERALD.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 12.-rhimble,
ridden by Chick Lang. took the Tulane
Handicap at the Fair Grounds to-day.
1t was the third successive victory for
the pair at the meeting and was wildly
| received, both because of the filly's ex-
h.bition Of gafneness and Lang's appre-
| citation OF the rough track conditions.
Thimble saved several lengths rounding
the first turn while the opposing quartet
went wide. and when they attempted to
save ground at the final bend Lang
| took hts mount wide. Thinabie always
maintainedan even stride, while United
Verde. Sands OF Pleasure, Bygone Days
and Duke John were frequently conf
PEELED to alter theirs by having to ira
verse rough spots.
! Lang, by handling Thimble and Knot
Grass. scored a double. but was com-
PEELED to share the riding honors with
Mack Garner. who piloted Bond and
Lazy Lou.
| Duster. the highly tried filly from,
Albert Siraons's barn who disappointed
! so greatly on her first outing. redeemed
herself to-day by roinping home in the
| Juvenile race.
Knot Grass, after disappointing sew
eral times since his arrival in the South,
finally made good in Mrs. T. o.
Webber's colors. The Short Grass colt
was easily best of the field of eight in
the third. After acting badly at the
post he broke well and increased his
lead until he was six lengths in ad-
vance at the end over Birdie G.
The stewards announced that the
horses Lampus and Brush Boy have
been restored to good standing since
they have been purchased by James
LETTERING and will be trained by How
ard Cots.
