New Orleans Hacks.— Our Iasi is- 
sue contained the result of the first day's 
racing of the Louisiana Jocky Club Spring 
Meeting. On the second (April 13) Winifred 
was winner of the nll-nged purse, Bormvcn- 
ture of the Louisiana Stakes for four year 
olds and Granger of the $400 purse. On 
the third day Survivor won the Club purse, 
Galway a three mile dash and Ilurry Feller, 
the mile heats, for all ages. On the fourth 
day Century won the selling ruoe; Survivor 
the mile and a half dash, and Harry Feller 
the all-aged purse. On the fifth duy Tom 
Leathers won the handicap hurdle race. 
Mary L. the mile heats, and Captain Hutch- 
isou the mile and three-quarters dash. The 
hurdle race was the fnstest ever run in this 
country, the time made, 3:47J, being the 
fastest on record. On the sixth and hist 
day America won the Fortunu stukes, Sweet 
Bay, the Consolation purse, and Falmouth 
the four mile hents. The meeting us a 
whole was n great success. 
—The Spring meeting of the Oulvcston 
Jockey Club is next in order. Extensive 
preparations have been made to accomodute 
the expected racing stables, nnd a lively re- 
union is certain. Begins 2uih instant, 
continuing four days. 
— nunri'gan, the well know Irish steeple- 
chuse trainer and rider, has arrived in this 
country, and is to take charge of Donohue’s 
stable. Mr. Ilenigan taught Gaffney all he 
knows about steeple-chase riding, nnd the 
latter was a stable hoy in the former’s em- 
ploy. 
—The Newmarket hnndicnp run on the 
14th at the Newmarket Craven meeting, was 
won bv St. Legcr, Peeping Tom coming in 
second, nnd Lord Gowrun third. Ten 
horses started, nine to two being laid against 
the winner, four to one aguinst Beeping 
Tom, who was favorite, and ten to one 
ngainst Lord Uowran. 
—The Wnverlcy Park Gentlemen’s Driv- 
ing Park Association, of Newark, have re- 
elected John Beylnn, President; Charles W. 
Heevc, Secretary, and N. J. Demarcst, 
Treasurer. 
Another Noted House Dead.— The 
list of noted horses recently deceased who 
have accquired fnmo on the course und at 
the stud, has been augmented; by the death 
of the most celebrated, barring herhaps his 
Hire, of any of our noted dyers of latter 
days. Kentucky died on Sunday Inst at the 
Nursery Stud Farm, Babylon, Long Island. 
As a race horse Kentucky was probably 
equal to the best that ever started in a race 
in this country, but at the stud bis success 
has not been so prominent ; some of the 
"young things” now at Babylon, may, how- 
ever, do something to perpetuate the glory 
of the name. More money has probably 
changed hands in the various purchases and 
sides of Kentucky than for any other horse 
ever foaled in America. Mr. Leonard 
Jerome paid $40,000, subsequent to which 
he was resold for $25,000, and Mr. Belmont 
who then owned an interest paid $15,000 
for thrcc-fourlhs, and became entire owner 
of the horse. Our space will not allow us 
to give a record of the performances of the 
celebrated Kentucky. His race aguinst 
time which resulted in his retirement from 
the turf is still fresh in the miuds of horse- 
men. 
The Immediate cause of Kentucky’s death 
was inflammation of the lungs, brought on 
by a heavy cold contracted soma two weeks 
ago, which, notwithstanding the unremit- 
ting care of Mr. G. G. Walden, in charge of 
Mr. Belmont’s stud farm, resulted in death 
as stated. The loss Is a heavy one to Mr. 
Belmont and to the turf at large, aud must 
enhance somewhat the value of his full 
brother, Daniel Boone, foaled in 1850, and 
owned by Captain Cottrlll, of Mobile, Ala.
