WARLAINE WINS THE JEFFERSON PARK HANDICAP Son of Man o War Duplicates Recent Performance to Register Again . 1 Overtakes and Passes Gato to Draw Away at End Chance Ray Outlasts Alan Chicle for Third Place Patrol Scout and Bright in Dead Heat . A NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 10. Warlaine, from the eminently successful stable of W. W. Adams of Boston, ran a mile and a sixteenth within four-fifths of a second of the local track record to capture the Jefferson Park Handicap at the Fair Groundsthis afternoon. The three-year-old son of Man o War, shouldering but 102 pounds, covered the distance in 1:45 on a fast track and won by a little more than a length as the favorite, Mrs. A. M. Creechs Gato, finished second, and C. E. Davisons Chance Ray ran third. The others in the field of nine, including Catomar, winner of the Thanksgiving Handicap, were shown the way past the line of finish by Alan Chicle. The Jefferson Park Handicap shared interest on he card with the Caledonia Purse, a sprint of six furlongs for two-year-olds, in which Mrs. C. C. Winters Patrol Scout and "Butsey" Hernandez Bright raced to a dead heat for first money. The Caledonia was offered as the fourth race and the Jefferson Park Handicap as the sixth. GATOS SPLENDID EFFORT. Gato made all the pace and turned in a. splendid effort, but a. furlong out he relinquished the lead to Warlaine, which had been in second place from shortly after the start. The victory was the second straight for the Adams colt, which was ridden by Edward Robart. Whipowill raced in third position for about five-eighths and then gave way, Chance Ray moving into that place. Chance Ray finally got third money, three lengths behind the runner-up and a neck before Alan Chicle. Whipowill wound up last. Warlaine paid .20 for in the mutuels. The splendid card and the ideal weather combined to attract one of the largest crowds of the meeting and to add to the general enjoyment of the fans there were a number of close finishes. In racing to a dead heat both Patrol Scout, winner last Saturday of the Biloxi Handicap, and Bright, came from behind the lat-ters stablemates pace to finish on even terms. Roidef cut out a sizzling pace and at one time was showing the way to his nearest rival by four lengths. That was on the turn, but after reaching the last eighth he began to show signs of distress and both Patrol Scout and Bright charged past him. Roidef finished a length behind the leaders, with Torch Stick running fourth, a little more than a length farther away. Patrol Scout was riddcri by Jose Marrero and Jimmy Bowen had the mount on Bright. Four others took part in the race, but none of them figured prominently after the first quarter. TORCH STICK WORKS MILE. After completing the distance, which the I winners covered in 1:13, Torch Stick went out a mile in 1:41 and Jay D. Bane went out eight furlongs in 1:43. The dead heat for first money was the second of the meeting, Miss Balko and Prince Fellow finishing- on even terms earlier in the season.

WARLA1NE WINS JEFFERSON PARK HANDICAP f Continued from first page. in the first race when they backed Miss Dolphin down to short odds and then saw her finish, second to L. M. Seversons Larry S. Miss Dolphin forged to the front after straightening out in the stretch and had a lead of a length and a half a furlong from the wire, but Larry S. meanwhile was finishing fast on the outside and got up near the end to score by a little more than a length. The South American horse, Hijo Manso, uncorked a fine burst of speed in the final quarter and moved up from last place to be third, with Masterpiece finishing fourth. The name of the first triple winner of the meeting was written into the records here when L. E. Ogles Miney Myerson, ridden by Earl Maloney, lasted to earn a narrow decision at the end of the six furlongs of the second race. Miney Myerson, a strong favorite, shook off, in order, Skippy McGee and Miss Monte, and then had enough left to withstand the belated challenge of Magnolia Cash, which finished second. The latter closed boldly on the inside and in a few more strides might have caught the Ogle eight-year-old, which bore out badly in the drive. Our David finished third, with Jchn Wer-ring leading home the others in the field of eleven. The third contest, another at six furlongs, brought out a dozen cheaper performers and it resulted in a hard-earned victory for F. A. Stelands False Card. With Jimmy Bowen at the reins, the Steland filly came from behind in the stretch to score by a head as Frost Bite beat Oklaqueen a length and one-half for second place. False Card bore over on Oklaqueen in the stretch and, except for this interference, the latter might have been much closer, if not actually have won the race. Jot-Em-Down, the favorite, was fourth
