NEW ORLEANS, February 1.-Mollie
Montrose won her third successive race of
che winter when she finished first in the
second race yesterday at the Fair
Grounds. She did not fancy the stiff, heavy
mud which prevailed, but was so much
better than the other two-year-olds in the
race that she won by half length.
The success of Mollie Montrose not only
makes her a dangerous rival of Whisk
Broom, the other fast daughter of Cesarion
that has been winning here, but also de-
feated the plans for a killing on Bitter
~. The latter was backed from 80 to
Down to to /. Nearly every man at
the track had the tip on this one, and they
deserted the good filly that had never
failed to bring home their bets. Conse-
quently she drifted back In the betting and
closed a lukewarm favorfte.
Molle Montroca was much too fast for
Bitterly and stolz a two-length lead In the
first quarter. The mud caused her to tire
at the end, and she lost much of her ad-
vantage, but hung to tn lead and under
o drive won. Dew of Lawn was always
second and beat Bitterly cut neck for the
place, The alleged good thing was slow
% catch her stride at the start. She
closed big gap througI the stretch and
was wearing the leaders down at the finish
hut found the distance, half-mile, too
short to show her best speed.
Granada, opposed by a poor lot in the
fourth race, wore his opponents down and
beat them out in driving finish. His
success saved the eastern plungers from
bad day financially. They won num-
Der OF big bets by backing him heavily at
2tol.
Jack Martin stated yesterday that he
would not begin to ride until the meetings
opened in New York. He was influenced in
this decision by his wife, who, fearful OF
apnTh ar har
quit for the winter His nose was broken
by his recent fall while riding Kick
Abrams, and his body was painfully
bruised; SO he considered 1t advisable to
follow hts wifes suggestion.
II Is extremely doubtful IL Glorifier will
race again. This old horse won all his
races last month in gallop and trainers
regard him as the best horse in training
but he went lame two days ago, and this
will place him in retirement for the re-
mainder OF the season.
