ROYAL ONYX CLEANS
BRIGHTEST IN MUD

NEW ORLEANS, February -1.-Royal
Onyx made the hearts Of the Italian
horsemen merry and their pockets bulge
with money yesterday afternoon at the
City Park track by winning the sixth
race at odds of 20 to l. T. Molinelli, the
owner Of Royal Onyx. had a good bet on
the son of Ornament, and he, did not
forget to mention the good thing to Joe
Marroni, the head of the Italian racing
confederacy in New York
The track was just in the condition
to suit Royal Onyx-thick with mud. This
horse, AT one time owned by II. X.
Knapp. member OF the Jockey CLUB, but
for several months the property of the
Italians who have made racing yield big
ger returns than subway contracts, has
not been very fast Of late because the
tracks were too hard for his tender feet.
Ready for the Mud.
Royal Onyx was ready to race on a
soft track and his owner knew it. When
the rain came. twenty-four hours ago,
and the wind dried out the water in the
soil just enough to leave it thick and
heavy, the hopes of Molinelli and his
trainer bounded high. While one patted
Royal Onyx on the neck and called him
"gooda da ole fel.' the other was wir-
ing the advice to climb aboard the
jewel cart" Nearly every man on the
Barbary coast here, where the Latin
races congregate, and at Mulberry bend
in New York had the news TO drop pick
and shovel. dip into their hoardings and
place a bet on Molineili's pet
Royal Onyx won easily. Avaunteer
had the speed of the Italian horse until
the home stretch, when he stretched his
stride. when called upon. and with the
"bravas" of his owner and trainer ring
ing into his ears passed to the front,
and stayed there.
Hammock Boy won the two-year- old
race in a driving finish. Craftsman. which
finished second. had the most speed and
on a dry track would have won. But
the mud made him leg weary and he tired
so badly in the final fifty yards that
Hammock Boy, with superior endurance,
just got up in time to beat him out on the
post.
