Ormonde's Right will have little Hen
nessey astride, and If Ormonde does not
sulk and performs to morning trials
there will be nothing to the race from

brute, howeve" and there is no telling
that he will run kindly.
Cigarlighter is to bear the popular
pilot "Puddin' " McDaniels. A sloppy
track is to CigarliShter's liking and
he looks to have but an otuside chance.
Los Angeleno is in fine fettle at pres
ent and his owner, II. G. Bedwell, ap-
pears confident of victory, as the old
horse worked the fastest mile and a
quarter caught in preps for this race.
He went the distance in 2:10 1-3, which
is a second faster than w. II. Carey's
time for the same.
II. Wiley will probably have the
mount and may be obliged to take An
geleno overland, as he is slow be-
ginner and the field large.
Tony May Not Start
Tony Faust is doubtful starter as
his owner, Sam Hildreth, wired Secre-
tary Boden Monday night inquiring the
weight Tony Faust would be asked to
carry. No response has been forth
coming,
Arimo will probably start with Nor
iarty in the saddle. Arimo is coupled
with w. II. Carey and is expected to
make pace,
Frank Regan is not certain as to
whether he will allow Kilter to go to
the post as he has not secured a good
lightweight rider. Should Kilter start
today there Is small probability of his
entering the stake.
Gorgalette gave such a smart per-
formance under her new owners coll
ors that she may be sent after the
prize, with Jockey Keogh up. Favored
by light weight the mare may upset
calculations and show her nose frst.
She is in the rare form that won ear

A large crowd witnessed good sport
at Ascot park yesterday and inciden-
tally relieved the bookies of some of
their loose change, as three favorites
won and some heavily backed place
and show horses ran in their respective
positions.
Money Muss went to the post favor

was second choice at 3 to 2. Taylor
George closed at 6 to |. After mo-
ment's delay Hoffman got them off
well with Money fuss in front by
length, the first quarter.
Rounding into the stretch Wiley got
Taylor George through on the rail and
in a drive lasted long enough to stall
off Betsy, which was finishing fast.
Sir Caruthers was third all the way.
Money Muss quit badly when collared.
Lord Of the Forest could not raise a
gallop.
After the race ]. B. Dunn bid up
Taylor George to $1,000, but he was
five. Taylor George was in to be sold
for $500. M. B. Arterberry, who owns
Betsy, claimed Lord of the Forest for
1926.
Cotilion was the favorite for the
second race and was backed from s
to to IL to 10. Josie's Jewel closed
at to l and Niblick closed at to l.
Niblick led all the way to the pad

alongside of him and in a drive just

NEW ORLEANS, La, Feb. L.
N Americas winter Capital" is
just about to meter upon the
greatest sporting social holiday season
of the coutinent-the Mardi Gras.
That the festive days of the great
carnival are near at hand is easily
seen from the crowded condition of
Canal street and the daily influx of
new faces from New York, Chicago,
st. Louis and other Of the big winter
bound towns at the fair grounds race
track.
Every day looks like Saturday now,
for the grand stands are filled to re-
pletiOn while the club house section
has taken ON the metropolitan color

and operators found at Sheepshead

little more BESIDES" as he puts it,

Gideon is one of the daily attractions
here. At city park some ten days ago
he managed to get the g.! oar-old Cam
paigner into a soft spot. He "set it
in" like a good fellow.
AS the horse gal!oped home Gideon
took down some $11 900 and awoke next
morning to lind himself famous, for
nowadays the average New Orleans
citizen is ready to bestow the homage

from Elota. San AlVarado and Royal

Johnstown was the supposed good

was easily third.
1t is doubtful whether Johnstown
could have beaten the winner with
better luck earlier in the race, as he
was beaten off.

was made faVorite for tn fifth at 7
