WARSAW WINS THIS TIME With Robinson Up Takes the Chief Race Easily. Hayden in Front Again An Offending Trainer Ruled Off the Turf. New Orleans, La., December 17. Adverse conditions was again the rule here for the sport and the attendance was confined chiefly to a couple of thousand of the regulars. The additional hard rain of Saturday night put the track back into bad order and caused a big list of withdrawals. The only race that escaped scratches was the mile purse, in which Warsaw was returned an easy winner over Langden, witli Broom Sweep landing third. Warsaw was given a competent ride this afternoon and likewise extensively supported. He was allowed to follow Langden until reaching the stretch, where Robinson called on him and he dashed away to win as the rider pleased. Favorites divided the card with second and third choices, resulting in another hard loss for the thirty-one layers who quoted prices. John E. Mad-dens colors were carried to victory for the first time on the track when the frequently disappointing Tanlac, under a good ride by Keogh, won the opening race. Partizan and Tolerance, the choices, landed in second and third places respectively. The Duke, an overwhelming choice in the second, made good in easy style", incidentally it made his third success at this meeting. Edith L. proved a rank disappointment in the third race when she failed to land better than third at the finish, Cracow, beating Paul Connelly for the purse, mainly due to the good ride that Johnson gave him. Hayden stood a hard drive in the fifth and out-footed Pas de Chance to the finish of the race, and Checks repeated a former effort by winning in easy style in the sixth race from Jack Reeves, and Prince Hermis, the . respective choices. The stewards this afternoon concluded tiieir Investigation of the No Manager race and issued the following ruling: "For violation of Rule 279 of the Rules of Racing, J. D. Heard has been ruled off the turf. The horse No-Manager has been also ruled off." HORSES AFFECTED BY RULING. "The further entries of the horses Baby Lynch, Hasty Riches, Budweiser, Russell Square, Cash on Delivery, Tom Caro, Stonchenge and Rose Meath will not be accepted until they are under the care and superintendency of a trainer approved by the stewards." Rule 279 of the Business Mens Racing Associa- elation that governs here reads: "Any person who shall have administered a drug or stimulant internally, or by hypodermic method, .prior to a race, or who shall have used appliances electrical or mechanical, other than the ordinary whip or spurs, every person so offending shall be ruled off." The stewards also modified the suspenson against the apprentice rider Donahue, which enables him to ride the horses under the care or superintendency of his contract employer F. T. Bornman. Donahue had a bad fall during the Latonia autumn meeting and is said not to have fully recovered from it yet. For that reason he is given the benefit of the doubt. Start Right, a two-year-old colt owned by J. S. Tyrce, had to be destroyed this morning as a result of having broken his leg when he ran into one of the "dogs" placed on the Fair Grounds track. He was an intended starter this afternoon in the third race. James Foster was another which had to be withdrawn from the race on account of lameness. Twenty-six horses, which had been shipped from Tijuana some time ago, finally reached here Uiis morning. In the consignment were the horses of George Billerman, including Maud Bacon. F. M. Bray, trainer for A. L. Aste, was among todays arrivals from New York. Al Koenigsburg came from California and jockeys Ted Rice and Cavanagh were additions to the riding brigade. Joe Notter is making herculean efforts to reduce to ride here and has taken off considerable weight. He will probably don colors in the next few days. Brooklyn, owned by F. Housman, died at the Fair Grounds as a result of contracting a cold while en route here from Bowie. A new ffcratch rule will go into force tomorrow. Formerly owners could withdraw their charges until 1 i. m., but hereafter wtihdrawals must be made by 10 a. in.
