the post.
Mollie Montrose. George Fl. Holes crack
Cesarfon 1lly, and considered one OF tho
best shown on the southern turf among
the younger division, kept up her unbcaten
record here by winning the third race at
three and one-half furlongs, stepping the
distance in the fast time of O.41 40 On
events, Mollie Montrose was asked to con-
cede from two to fifteen pounds to the
twelve other starters. Nicol had the mount,
and, getting the FLY away well In motion,
led all the way, but was forced to do his
best in order to stall off the rush of Nota-
sulga, long shot, at the finish. Nota-
sulga. slow to get under way, closed strong
in the stretch and was wearing the winner
down at the finish Bosom Friend lost his
rider. Pickett, shortly after the start. The

up in the bunch. Mollie Montrose carried
a world Of money at to 10.
George II. HOLES colors also showed in

to 5, beat Lemon Girl a length.
Henry A. Schroeder, at as good as 30 to
at one time proved the best in the steeple-
chase over the full course winning in q
driving finish from ARABIC. Aules was the
pacemaker for the best part of the road,
but Pollock made his move at the right
time and barely lasted long enough to win.
Gould, another outsider, running in a prom
inent position throughout landed an easy
third. Creolin was favorite, but he had
little or no chance, as Morrison, who had
the leg up, kept the Corrigan horse on tho
outside of his field throughout The ride
was far from satisfactory.
Jockey Hagen, who had the mount on
AuleS and who carried Sam Hoffheimer
into the wing at the second jump, was sus-
pended for the balance of the winter by the
judges.
Thirty-three bookmakers were in line.
The weather was balmy and springlikc and
