PECIAI
New Orleans, La, Feb. 2A-Another big
holiday GROVE visited the race track to-day.
They again found the picking of winners
difficult. although Free Pass and Little Jack
Horner. at the favorite's price. started them
off well.
The seven-furlong handicap gave promise
of a good contest, but was spoiled by the
start. as Carl Kahler, second choice, got
away flying from an inside position, and
had the race Won in the first furlong. He
opened up a gap of two lengths on the back
stretch, and carried his field along at so
fast a pace that none of them could get to
him. He was firing at the end. but lasted
long enough to win by a length from the
outsider, Ernest Parham, who beat Andes,
the favorite, a neck for the place.
Andes receded in the betting. most OF the
smart money going on Carl kahler.
Free Pass was considered the best in the
first Fuller got off well with him. kept
him in front all the journey. and won easily
by two lengths from John Bull. who beat
Mary Moore a neck. The latter was under
a drive and ran a game race.
Little Jack Horner was in among a speedy
lot, but he beat the barrier and stayed in
front. winning easily by a length from
Master. Alpaca was a poor third. NyX had
no speed. and White Owl. when moving up
on the far turn. ran out.
Shotgun and Hedge, backed in the third.
got no part of the money. Henry Mcdaniel
rushed out, with a lead of eight lengths. in
the early part. 1t looked as though he would
run away with the purse. but he backed up
and in 4 hard drive beat him a head. Hand
spinner finished strong and was only beaten
half a length for first money.
Alfred c. Won the fifth cleverly from Eda
Witful.
