DWYER PICKS MONTGOMERY. New York. Match JL — On the reports of Montgomerys work at Memphis. P. .1. Dwyer bettered the Pessaia colt will win the Crescent City Derbv at New Orleans. Saturday. In discussing the probabilities of the race wili a party of friends al the Waldorf lie sai.l: "I nevi r considered Montgomery a first class borse. At liest he was no Itetter than a good second rate two yeat old. But in these parts last fall he showed on more than one occasion that he liked a distance of ground, and he could always beat the kind of young horses that go to winter tracks. I told Joseph E. Seagram that lie would be an excellent horse to take to Canada for the three year old stakes of the spring and early sum mer meetings. They say he is pigeon toed, I know, but that should not interfere with him seriously. Miss Woodford, one of the best mares we ever had. was pigeon-toed, yet that deformity did not interfere wjtU bag running. The. preparation Montgomery Is getting for the Crescent City Perby will lit him for early racing bereabsats, and it is ipiitc possible that he may win a few slakes before our horses are ready for business."
