DF.MPSEY. NSW OBLEANS. La.. January 20. The mile Sl.rrfMI handicap, serving as a feature, brought prominently into iKtice when St. Allan proved the winner one of the most outstanding Imin summer Malta of I In- meeting, as in two preceding races the colt had shown bad racing form and finished far back with the stragglers, though he did con test with some of the best in these parts. On the strength of his inferior performances there was no uUtandlng justification for the staunch aupaart accorded him this afternoon, but his supporters knew what they were alKiut. far the colt raced ai eminently from the start and in the final drive outgamed Fizer. There might have been a different result had Botherati ii. which finished third, been given a better ride, but the inexperienced Ijong !vas wholly unequal to his task. First he got the colt away pearly, primarily due to the riders unpre-I parednea* at the start causing the colt to be away last, and he kept him a distant follower until reaching the stretch, where on his own courage the ■ It came with a rush to head the otheis for the shorter portion of the purse, Vnotuer unsatisfactory race was that preceding Hie handicap and In which fieorge Starr triumphed by a narrow margin over Bt. Isidore. The latter was greetl] the best, but Hamilton, when suffering from some intereferences in the first qaartrr, took his mount far back and then guided him an e ceptii Bally wide course on the turns, which cost St. Isidore a world of ground. He finished fast and gamely, however, and forced Ueerge Starr to do liis lust to win by a neck. Iltra Uetd landed in third peace. The betting barometer ill the sixth race strongly indicated an attempt at a coup, and such it proved. with Sir Oraftaa the medium, for displaying high meed he won all the way with consummate ease from Wadsvvorths Last ami St. Jermain. with .lather fairly well regarded platers following. The sudden improvement displayed by several of the winners gave the stewards work, for they began an iiiiiuiiy into some of the form eeeeecaanlts. Howard Oots added another purse to his account when Hopover managed to struggle down in advance of Beiaterer and Pansy Blossom. S. A. Clopton scored his second purse of the present meeting when his Tweaall landed in advance of an ordin tiy band in the second race, with Joa-ipina in second place and Alcatiaz third. Snapdragon II. s performance in the fifth race was in line with his other races here, for he was far back at the half mile, but he began moving up with a sensational rush and it carried him past L uis A. to win by a neck, with Dr. Carmen in third place. Jockey Garner will spend five days inactive, having been suspended for that term by the stevv.-itus for his rough riding. Jockey King was fined 8 by the stewards for failing t" keep his riding engagements James W. McClelland was an arrival this morning from Hot Springs, where he is wintering pnrt of the E. W. Simnis horses, including Eternal. The Wanderer and Leonardo II. He reports the racers to be going along in great style. B. A. Smith was BWvTleed today that his koines wintering at the Delaware faim are in fine let He. particularly Sunny Slope, which will be prepared with a view to an early Mai J land campaign.
