The CITY BOWLING TOURNEY

NEW ORLEANS, January 19.-Glorfer, a
rival of Sysonby for two-year- old honors
In 1904, supported the claim of his admirers
that he is the best horse in training here by
beating Orbicular and Phil Finch at the
City Park track yesterday. He won in a
romp. with Garner pulling hard on the
rens.
The meeting between Glorifler Orbicular
and Phil Finch aroused great interest. in
local turf circles and a big crowd saw the
struggle between these three fast horses.
Phil Finch was the champion Of last winter.
and Orbicular had shown the best form this
year until the advent of Glorifier. The lat
ter's easy victory on Monday, when he dis
played much OF the speed that made him
noted three years ago, caused the eastern
delegation to proclaim him the champion.
The high opinion of the New York dele
CATION of horsemen regarding Glorifier was
brilliantly sustained by the big son of Hast
ings. He made his opponents look cheap by
racing under stout pull nearly all the
Finch. for that one-time favOrte ruptured
the middle tendon of his right hind leg and
pulled up SO badly broken down that he
could scarcely hobble to his stable.
This accident made il practically match
race between Glorif1er and Orbicular The
latter assumed the lead by a length, but as
Garner was not willing to force the pace
and Austin on Orbicular was content to
leave the decision to a three furlong sprint
the first six furlongs was raced at slow
pace.
Horses Saved for Sprint.
Both horses ran under a pull until the
middle of the far turn when the squirt home
commenced. Glorifier easily proved that he
had much more speed than Orbicular by
sprinting away from him and opening q
gap. He was never hurried in the slightest
degree and won by length.
1t was a profitable day for James H. Nc
Cormick. as his fast little gelding Elmer
gency won in addition 10 Gloriher Like the
latter. Emergency was an odds-On favorite
and an easy winner
The time of the race. LIZ 3-5, was the
fastest six furlongs of the meeting.
Jockey Garner was In good form. He rode
three winners-EmeFgency, GloTifer and
Miss Leeds.
Robert Tucker sold Yves to F. Hammel
and Piaud to Tex FOrman yesterday morn
ing. The terms were private.
DIR. McCluer. with d. Austin in the saddle,
and to 1 about his chances, won the mile
and sixteenth selling affair. Quinn Brady
showed the way until the stretch. where De-
vout passed him and appeared a winner till
Austin brought up DIR. McCluer and secured
the decision by head.
The best finish of the day came out of the
five furlongs selling affair in which the
first three finished noses apart. Belle of the
Bay with Swain in the saddle, proved the
gamest and won in the last stride from
ner.
Hickey. a 3O-to-1 chance. beat Lens, the
1-to-2 favorite, a head in the six furong
purse race. Hickey was away we'll and
forcing the pace outlastel the Dunno colt.
Penrhyn was driven hard to take third
place from Morales, who got away very
poorly The Corrigan outfit grabbed off a
good bet and race with Miss Leeds in the
opening event, five and a half furlongs,
under selling conditions. Miss Leeds was a
7-to-5 chance at the post. Garner rated her
along with the leaders until the stretch
and drew away without an effort.
Mr.. Calvin, acting for William Astor
Chanler, purchased the aged horse Olym-
plan from J. F. Schorr yesterday for the
reported price of 1890. Olympian will be
sent to Chanler's stud near New York.
