odds Laid-Other
Notes.
The racing season for 1885 opened yoster-
day at Now Orleans.
Goano Is a great favorite for the Withers
stake--one mile dash for 3-year-olds- the
spring meeting at Jerome. TIE stake closed
with seventy.one subscribers. Seventeen
were declared out last August, and II is not
probable that moro than ten or n dozeu will
face the starter. The hest known of these
will be Goauo, the Dryers Richmond,
Kelso's Brookwood, Lorilard's Hopeful
and st. Augustine, Ed Snedeker's Grena-
der, and Withers' Julietta (colt). OF these,
last season, Goauo headed the list of win
nings with $l5,6sS-frst three times
second four. Brook wood, two wins ssc-
ond once; $S,6l5. Richmond, three wins;
second five times $6,2l2. Hopeful, one
win; once second Si,470. st. Augustine,
two wins; second four times; 2,475.
there may be barefoot (who was u strong
tip ut Sheepshead, at tho fall meeting), tho
Heliotrepe (colt Of Kelly's), green one of
DOswell's, Bowie's Captain aud the Brighton
Observation-Disclosures never will
run true. Goano has grown good deal
since last year, and is likely to catch tho
judges eye first more than onco tho COM
ing season. Tho knowing ones have not
lost sight of him since he caused them such
dump last August, at Monmouth, when,
with Mclaughlin up, he beat Wanda so
handily.
Tho New York Sportsman Of last week
printed an excellent likeness Of tho famous
race horse Little Minch. There was tor
rible lot Of money dumped by Minch last
fall ut Jerome. He was given as Il strong
tip in two races, and tho "faucy" lost heav-
lily. Minch was wrong during the whole
of that meeting. He made fine race with
ATaDza at Sheepshead Bay, when she COW
cred the mile in 1Al, Miuch at one time
looking like winner. At the fall meet
ing here he was a strong tip again among
the bookmakers, but was beaten by Nc
Mabon's frankie B., though it was more
the "jock" Martins fault. His last race
for the season at Brighton he landed, beat
ing King Fan, Delilah and Glengarne aud
others.
Lord Clifton, Ferg Kyle, Eileen aud
Wndsail were the winners at the opening
| day Of the New Orleans races yesterday.
Books are soon to be opened in Balti-
more ON the Suburban Handicap. The
Sportsman offers 800 prize to the person
who will name the first three, in the order
in which they finish.
Two bets of $500 to $500 were laid in
New York last week against Goano for the
Withers; z to 1 is being offered against
Richmond.
MARYLAND was piloted by Jimmy Nc
Laughlin successfully several times last
season. Mclaughlin said in the CRITICS
hearing that he was the best horse, out
side of Woodford, that he had put his legs
| over during the season; pretty high
| compliment.
Considerable business has been done by
| the New York book makers on the Subur-
ban: $4,000 to 500 against Strickland;
$4,000 to $50, Ferg Kyle; $4,000 to $50, Jim
Renwick, are among the bets made.
Ed. Corrigan has purchased for $4,000 the
chestnut FLY Atlanta. She will be heard
from the coming season.
Parole will not be started again. He ha
retired from the turf for good, and will b
allowed to rest on his laurels.
