wAsHINoroS. Nov. 15.-There were 5000
persons at st. Asaph this afternoon, and the
betting was the heaviest Of the meeting
Prince George was the only successful favoritc,
and the bookmakers reaped . rich harvest. The
first race was the best Of the meeting. II was
for two-year-olds AZ four furlongs, and FIVE Of
the nine contestants finished heads apart. The
talent figured for a while before making the
Elise Morrison fy slight favorite over Mn
evah- The former and Festival made the rum
ming for q furlong, where Nscey squeezed
through on the rail with Pretense. The trio ran
heads apart all around the upper turn. When
Strengthened out for the wire Nnevah and
Buckeye moved up on the extreme outside. and
whips were soon cracking on the sides of the five
leaders. II was anybody's race 10 the very final
stride, and the judges decided that Ninevah had
won by nose, with Buckeye second, a head in
front Of the Elise Morrison filly. Festival and
Pretense were only head away.
The second race was made interesting through
the victory of Derfargilla over the odds on
favorite, Jack of Spades The latter was heavily
played at TO 9 by the biggest pungers at the
track on the strength Of his second 10 Galllee at
six and q half furlonRs few days ago. pitts
burgh Phil" gave Derfargilla strong support
from TO down to Q to1. Jack OF Spades and
Harrington ran head and head to the top OF the
stretch. Doggett had Derfargilla right in behind
the leaders, and when he got ready to let her
run, she marched TO the front and won IN the
most impressive fashion. Jack Of Spades beat
Harrington head for second money.
F1irt was an odds-on favorite In the third race,
and she carried lot Of money for VI. f. Dwyer,
but there was a great plunge on Robusta, who
was said to have worked six furlongs over the
BenninRs course In 1:l7 with 125 pounds up.
