In fact I do not want too many. AAith fewer horses, everybody will fare well. I can remember when I was at City Park one year we could get as many as 100 entries to a race. As a result we had to draw down to fifteen and it was hard sledding for the horsemen. I was glad to get Jack Campbell to act as clerk of the scales and associate judge. Xew Orleans is his home and he has many friends there. AVith Joseph McLennan a- racing secretary and associate judge, A. B. Bade as starter, and myself presiding, we will have an oHicial staff that will team together well. "A number of horsemen will go direct to Xew Orleans from Kentucky, but the bulk of our horses will come from Charleston. Some that are going to Juarez will come back and race awhile with us. J. AV. Fuller .has promised me to send some of his and P. M. Clvill also will. John AV. Schorr will winter must of his stable in Kentucky, but will send several to Xew Orleans in Louis Taubers care. Gallaher Bros, will also send two or three. J. 0. Milam is another who will send some horses direct from Lexington. E. AV. Moore will ship to AValter Parmers farm in Nashville, Tenn., and go to Xew Orleans later with ten horses. AA A Harden is another who will do the same thing. The purses at the Crescent City will be four of 00 and two of 00 daily, with a two-year-old race each day. This purse fund will be financed before the gates open, and the racing will positively be completed as scheduled. AVith racing, lwxing and the Mardi Gras, the Crescent City will be a lively place for forty days this winter."
