In Mollie Monti use Ceorge llolle undoubtedly has a racehorse of good sort. , "The two-year-olds which gain winter honors here not as a rule maintain their reputations dining : , the summer season, but this daughter of Ccsariou 1 ■ looks like one that will be abb to win anywhere. • , She has a world of speed, handles weight like a 1 , champion, and has not yet been forced to extend 1 herself to win in any of her starts. llolle had a 1 gixxl lilly here last year in Colloquy, but she did j shew I he high class which Mollie Montrose has exhibited.

According to goad judges who saw the race she would ceilainlx have won had she been taken to the front, as she had been in all her previous races, and should she anil Judge Post meet again under the same conditions as prevailed when she was beaten, she would undoubtedly be the favorite in the race."
