DIFFERENCE IN PRICE OF ADMISSION. David Barnes, who made a hasty trip here from New Orleans to be in attendance at the annual meeting of the American Turf Association, stated yesterday that nearly every stall at the new track had been spoken for, and that between 500 and COO more stalls that had been built adjacent to the City Park track would also be filled by the time the racing season begins in the Crescent City. The same conditions, he reports, prevail at the old track. In reference to the reported charge of SI. 00 as the admission fee to the tracks this winter, Mr. Barnes said that the City Park track officials have not, as yet, sanctioned the move. In fact, the first batch of tickets that had been ordered for the opening days call for a charge of .00 only. He said that everything at City Park track is in first-class condition arid that racing could be conducted there at once if it was time for it. He was especially enthusiastic over the good condition the steeplechase course is in.
