COTTONTOWN PURSE
Poor Ride by Scobie on John s.
ReardOn Enables Him to
Win by Half a Length.

Special Dispatch TO THE NEW YoRI HEsALp
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 3.-rhai
large delegation which follows the for
tunes OF Montford Jones and his
trainer, Kay Spence. suffered severe
setback to-day when John S. Reardon
the well backed fayorite IN the Cotton
town Purse at the Fair Grounds, was
compelled TO accept second portion be-
hind Frigate, which runs In II. Max
well Howards colors.
A quartet faced the barrier and
caused several minutes delay by unruly
conduct. John s. Reardon went TO the
lead Immediately after good start, and
was soon leading his company by three
lengths. Scobie then realized he was
abusing Reardon's speed and rounding
the final turn steadied his mount so
hurriedly that he was almost taken
from his stride. Morris called on
Frigate In the finap sixteenth and the
gelding responded handsomely, while
Scobie further involved Reardon's
chances by the misapplied use of the
whip. Frigste took premier honors by
half n length in a hard drive. Tho time.
L :3s 2-5 for the mile, showed the track
in first class condition
Despite the reaction from the holiday
large crowd was in attendance and
Lang on Three Winners.
The apprentice. Lang scored the rid
ing honors of the day by plotting the
last thre winners, Baladin, Encrinite
and Johnny Overton. All were wsll
backed because OF the youngsters daily
growing following. In bringing 1Dcrt-
mite home Lang hooked with Buxton,
astride tho veteran Pickwick, through
out the entire stretch, with Incrinite
finally winning by head. Buxton was
more exhausted than his mount at the
end. 1t appeared that Lang might have
won with either mount.
The Franciscan scored the easiest VIC
tory of the day In the opener. q four
and half furlong maiden ,svent. The
locally owned son OF EesperuS. making
his first appearance of the season, grad
ually increased his lead until he had
ten lengths to spare at the end.
Titania and Orlova, two others who
were Appearing for the first time this
season, scored in their respective races.
Albert Simons, who trains Daniel. win
ner OF the first juvenile race of the
year. was so impressed by the perform
ance of Better Look, the L. r. Bradley
colt which finished second. that he pur-
chased him for $4,000 to-day. Greater
activity Is expected I'm selling and
claiming race circles henceforth due to
the arrival to-day OF Sam Louis, the
Kansas City haltsrman.
