RACING FOR NEW ORLEANS. Suburban Tracks Open Today With 30O Horses on Hand. New Orleans. Jan. 16. With a num ber of well known turf men present and with more than three hundred horses on hand, the Suburban race track, across the river from New Or leans.' will be opened today, in spite of the so-called Locke anti-racing law. Speculation as to the possible action of the state authorities grow ing out of the question as to whether the betting system to be employed is lawful is widely expressed. Ten operators have agreed to pur chase "advance information" at $12 per race. This will mean $720 daily for purses. There are 45 entries for the six races today. If the meeting is not interfered with and the promoters believe it will not be, because, they say, nothing coun ter to the Locke law will be found to exist in the operations, there is every prospect that the suburban will enjoy the greatest measure of success that it or any other half mile track in this section " has experienced in many years.
