LARGEST RIDING COLONY NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 22. Every indication points to the largest riding colony in the history of racing at the Fair Grounds course, which ranks with the oldest in AmerJ ica. Terry Farley, custodian of the jockevj quarters here and all of the New York tracks, stated that he does not recall any race meeting at which there were as many jockeys as are here at present. It is probable that as many as one hundred riders will be on the scene for the opening of the Louisiana Jockey Clubs meeting, by far exceeding any number recorded in previous years at the local! course.
