H., New Orleans, La. Our correspondent at Latonia reported the track "fast" last Saturday. He is a man of great experience and his version of the matter stands. The three-quarters in 1:11 of Great Jaz, just prior to the big race, and the mile in 1 :40 of the moderate two-year-old King Gorin II. in the last race of the day corroborates the statement that the Latonia track was fast, even though it is possible it could have been a shade faster. As to Rockminster and Lucky Hours memorable race last year, it is quite probable they were then infinitely better than any of the three-year-olds of this year.
