GEORGE W. WINS AT Is TO 1.
The Talent NegIects the winner of
the Handicap.

New Orleans, Feb. 1S-Clear and pleas
ant weather marked the Mardi Gras fetes
in this city to-day, and after the noon pa
rade had moved a large crowd gathered
at the race course. The track was fast,
as the time made in each race indicates.
George W. in the handicap ran the mile
in 1:42iz and won with something left at the
end. The race was the star event of the
day, each Of the eleven starters having
more or less supporters, but while Hiber-
MIA Queen, Pulitzer and Queen Bess were
nearly equal favOrites with Jake thinner
man for the third choice, George w. was
neglected, as much as IS TO 1 being laid
against him. This in the face of his haV-
ing won good race only a few days ago
did not speak very well for the judgment
of the spectators, and as George W. well
ridden by Scherrer, beat Pulitzer cleverIy
at the end after the latter had led seven
furlOngs the talent were financially mourn
ing after the race.
Jockey Scherrer also rode two other win
ners during the day, both at good odds,
Galley West in the first, at Is to l. and
Princess Rose in the fifth, at TO ]. He
is one of the best boys now riding here.
In the second race the Morris stable won
with the Britannia tWO-year-Old hlly Rus
sella at 10 to l. She is out of Marie Rus
former.
In the third event Begue scored, and al
so Minerva in the last. These were the

COSTLY RIDDLES.
1t is Said That $4,000 is offered for
the Last One Pagnnini Used.


From the Cornhill Magazine.
The beauty and sweetness of Sarasate's
tone are often commented on by people
who never think of the tone being in any
way due to the fitness of his instrument.
AS a matter of fact, Sarasate has two
Strads. One is the renowned BOLSTER
Strad., which he managed to secure in
Paris for 81 900, an hour or two before Hin
of London sent an offer for it. The other
is one that had been used by Paganini,
which came TO him through his son Achil-
le. OF course the latter instrument has
an additional value from the circumstance
of its former ownership. o
Paganini had several valuable violins,
and the instrument which he used in his
later years-a! Guarnerius, dated 1743-
would probably command something like
5000, If il could be put in the market
now. Indeed the sum Of e 400 has al
ready been offered for it and refused, and
a report was lately circulated that 100000
had been tried. But the instrument cam
not be sold. Paganini himself bequeathed
it to the city Of Genoa, and the municipal
