Beats Wynnewood a Head in
Old Reliable Purse at
New Orleans.

Special Dispatch to THE New YoRK HmALp.
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 24.-The worst
track Of the season prevailed at the
Fair Grounds to-day and only the
sturdiest and cheapest horses in local
training competed. Three races were
reduced to the five and a half furlong
route in an effort to attract sufficient
entries for the edification of the incom-
ing carnival visitors.
hTe old reliable purse, at mile and a
sixteenth. proved one of the keenest
contests of the day when Blarney Stone
and Wynnewood fought throughout the
three furlongs Of the stretch. with the
former taking the verdict by q head,
thanks to Moneys ability to outfinish
Lang. Wynnewood provided the early
pace and might have won had not his
rider lost momentary control entering
the stretch when he sought to use the
whip. Pastoral Swain finished a dis
tant third in advance of Gray Gables
and Richilieu, the only other starters.
The distance was run in 1 40 AS. testi
flying the rough condition of the track.
Lang was the riding star with two
winners. Max Gold and Tulsa. The
former took the opening event by
graduating easily over eleven other
cheap ones. The result was never in
doubt after the barriers rise. Forest
Queen attempted to stage a challenge
rounding the final turn, but the vet
eran Conley was of little assistance and
she was fortunate to save the place
from Dare. Suntime. which finished
close fourth, was the victim of an
abominable ride by Barnes. Tulsa
fought through the stretch with Nor
deck and drew away in the fina
strides. Old Faithful finished with
rush after having trailed through the
early running. and would have won
with a few moro strides.
