MAKES NEW RECORD
Miss Minerva, Owned by Mont
fort Jones, Runs Three
Furlongs in O:34 3-5.

Special Dispatch to THE New YORK HERALD.
NEW ORLEANS. La, Jan. 19.--Marvin
May again showed himself one Of the
gamest ard speediest spr,nters in local
training by taking the Whirlwind
Handicap in terrific drive from Miss
Jen1ima in the Fair Grounds feature
event to-day, running the six furlongs
in :12 1-5 over the lightning like track.
1t was Marvin's fourth consecutive VIC
tory and keeps his record for the South
err season unblemished.
Miss Jemima. despite top weight OF
120 pounds, had startled the clockers
by recent works and was backed to the
exclusion of the quartet that opposed
her.
Marvin May was sent to an inmedi-
ate lead and dominated the running
throughout Miss Jemima threatened
at the final eighth. but weight and pos
sible lack of condition told and she was
forced to accept second honors length
behind. Tan Son, running in his best
fern, saved third over War Note and
Tom McTaggart. the only other starters.
Miss Minerva, Montfort Jones's
speedy daughter OF Black Tony, clipped
>
Gus track record when she ran the three
furlongs of the juvenile event in "a 3-5
seconds. winning by four lengths well
in hand from Kewpie s. st. Angelina
and nine other clever Juveniles. The
filly overcame the added handicap on
an outside position. The fas. time was
in part due to an absence OF winds and
the torrid temperature. The mercury
fiirted with the sevenry-eight mark
throughout the bright afternoon.
Favorites went into total eclipse, not
one getting over while Lang for the
first time during the sixteen days OF the
meeting failed to ride winner Mack
Garner and the apprentice Gantner
shared the riding honors, with two win
ners each.
Petite. running i'm the colors OF E. c.
Steiner. came through with another OF
her consistent performances by taking
the fourth. six furlong claiming event,
over Knot Grass and eight other good
ones. Knot Grass supplied the early
pace, but the high weight of 121 pounds
and the determination of Petie's chal-
lenge through the final eighth overcame
him. and he was compelled to accept
second. a length back. After the race
Al Kirby. who brought Petite from Ken
tucl<y. led her back to his barn via the
claiming route for s2,500. Knot Grass
was claimed by n. p. Pons for $500.
Little Annie showed a smart per-
formance by taking the lead from Sun
Time nearing the end of the mile and
seventy yards and showing the way
home to ten others at the nourishing
odds OF IL TO /.
