GLOR!FIER TO WIN

NEW ORLEANS. March 1J.-Glorifer.
resurrec,ed cripple. won the fourth race
yesterday at the City Park track. His
owner. James Mccormick, was on the verge
of Withdrawing him from the race when
heavy rainstorm transformed the hard
track into a cushion of mud and water. The
storm was most opportune for Glorifier, be-
cause Jugg.er, his chief opponent, was
withdrawn. This permitted the big son eff
Hastings to win in a romp.
A month ago Gloriier pulled up SO lame

him. as a hopeless cripple. He had been
lame off and on for two years The final
trouble seemed to indicate the end of his
racing career. But by the application of
mild blister and soothing lotions, AcCor-
mick got his champion into racing trim
again.
Although the horses pitted against Glori-
fer were a very poor lot, his race was a
great one, considering his recent physical
condition. He ran under stout pull all the
way and at no stage of the siX-furlong
journey were his hackers in anxiety regard

opponents that he ran under a stout pull
throughout the two-mile course This fell
low is a worthy rival of St Volma, and
horsemen predict he will win races in the
north
