HYPERION II WINS
new ORLEANS CHIEF RACE

NEW ORLEANS. March 81. A.
Cella's Hyperion II won the feature event
on the program at the Fair GROUNDS
track yesterday by finishing one length IN
front of Pedro in the fastest mile or the
season Hyperion lis victory came in the
fourth race. and his owner evidently ex-
pected it, for he forced the odds on his
racer from to 1 down to to before
the horses went to the post.
Hyperion II had only three competitors
in the race, Pedro, John Carroll and First
Premium. They finished in the order
named. The winners time was 1.39 %.
Cellas horse got off last, but almost
Immediately after the start Hyperion
jumped to the front and was never head
ed ]. Lee had the mount on the winner,
and he rode a well-judged race. McDan-
iel on Pedro tried hard to overhaul the
leader but in spite of his efforts Pedro
was unable to cut down the lead which
Hyperion had established by the time the
horses had sprinted over the first 1urions.
Notter had the mount on First Pre-
MUM, but his horse was repeatedly in
terfered with by the others that were
struggling to overtake Hyperion, and he
finished far in the rear. He was the
long shot Of the race, for he went to
the post at odds of to 1.
Miss Hapsburg won the opening event
for maiden FLIES. 1t was a dash of three
furlongs, and field of thirteen started.
Gloriole, the favorite, came up with rush
at the end, but the rush was too late, and
Miss Hapsburg finished half length in
front.
Mcdaniel plotted Topsy Robinson to vic
tory through field of fifteen in the sec
ond race. He laid off the pace with his
mount till the turn into the stretch was
reached, when he went around the lead
ers and drew away in the stretch run.
