New Orleans, La. March 12.-Three of the
Crescent City Derby candidates, Narro,
Henry Clay Rye and Picador received their
final try-out in the mile and an eighth han
dicap which is the Derby distance. To say
the least their showing was far from bril-
liant. Varro. who, on account of his many
good races here. was the favorite for the
Derby, ran a very dismal race. He clearly
showed that he is not partial to weight or
a route. He ran well to the stretch turn
and then faded away to nothing. finishing
away back in the ruck. Picador and Henry
Clay Rye. the other two starters. fought 1t
out all down the stretch for third money.
the former securing 1t by a short head. OF
the trio Picador ran much the best race. He
only carried 81 pounds, but he showed that
he could go the route and ia a game colt.
Wild Pirate. who received his preparation
at Memphis, reached here this morning from
Montgomery Park, and looks fine. If he is
any ways near ready he will have u walk
over in the race. He starts in a mile nan
dicap tomorrow and picks UP lis pounds,
the weight he will be asked to carry in the
Derby. The race was won by Dissolute. the
favorite. who went to the front in the first
quarter and won in a drive. Il length from
Sarilla.
