DECEITFUL LADY FALLS AT CRESCENT PARK. Jockey Cherry and His Valet Are Suspended Affcry is the Medium of a Coup. New Orleans, La., January 5. Deceitful Lady, ridden by Chandler, was running well up with the leaders in the fourth race at Crescent Park this afternoon when she suddenly wavered, stumbled and fell. Peter Becker could not avoid the prostrate filly and stumbling over her unseated jockey More-land. Moreland escaped with a few bruises. Chandler lost consciousness for a time, but came around in good shape. Deceitful Lady had a shoulder dislocated, and will, in all probability, have to be destroyed. The attendance was good. The twenty-one bookmakers were kept busy. The public lost. Only two pronounced favorites were successful. The sharpshooters, however, profited handsomely by the victories of Affery and Chub, both of which were hacked extensively. After the second race, starter Dade complained to the judges that jockey Cherry had acted badly at the post and had used bad language when admonished. The judges suspended the rider Tor two weeks. The suspension takes effect tomorrow and bars him for riding for his contract employer. Later complaint was made by owner S. Louis, whose horse Cherry had ridden in the race, that F. J. Glv-ens, acting as valet for the jockey, had tried to interfere with the instructions given Cherry by the owner as to how he should ride Henry O. The specific words said to have been used by Givens to Cherry were, "Dont pay any attention to the orders you got. They dont know anything about running horses." The judges suspended Givens indefinitely, and took his badge from him. Newton Benningtons two-year-old St. Cloud was bet on as if the race was over. The colt had shown himself in trials to be the superior of any of the trio of winners that had performed in the Bennington colors. Whatever chance he had was, however, Jitfnjectjit theartheihejwas caught:, in a bad mix-up and IXcf to be pullediUrtausfnito avoid falling.
