The Talent Has a Great Chance to Roll
UpWealth at Asaph.


Washington, Nov. 27.-The weather was
warm and pleasant at St. Asaph to-day,
and an average crowd was present. The
track was fast. The talent should be sat
isfed with the results to-day, for they
named five of the six winners and the
other was a second choice heavily backed.
10 Bengula was in good demand in the
opening race at II to 20 with Maurice at .
to ,, and Hermanita at to !. somewhat
dabbled in, and dividing the place money.
Hailstone was first off and showed the
way to the last turn, where he quit Maui
rice, who had been going second, then went
in front and won hands down by three
lengths from 10 Bengula, second who was
one length before Hailstone.
In the second, Void had a shade the
best Of it on the books selling at 8 to S,
and being played by the knowing ones
Polydora at IL to and Hammie at 10 to 8,
were also well supported and carried the
place money. Sappho made the running
until the back stretch was half through,
and Polydora and Senator Vest then in
turn led the bunch. At the head of the
chute Void moved up from third place,
and at the wire led Polydora by a length
and a half
Baroness at 2 to had the call in the
third, with the field well played at to
against her. Bess McDuff led till the
last furlong pole was reached. Baroness
then came up and won handily by two
lengths.
Sir John with Simms up, was the pick
of the nine 2-year-olds that made up the
fourth, selling at even money and to 5.
Sir John stole the start and led to the
wire, beating Lady Richmond by two
lengths
Mcintyre was a prime favorite in the
fifth at II to 20, with Aurelian selling for
to !, Hardy Fox to J., Prig 10 to /, and
Nockbarren, an outsider at 100 to l.
Prig made the running until the last fur
long, where he was collared by Mcintyre
Coming home, Mcintyre led by half a
length, until close to the wire, where
Hardy Fox ran up very fast and was a
short nose back as they went under the
string.
In the last race, Leonardo, selling at 4
to ., was the good thing. Indra, at to 5,
and Little Tom, at II to 2, were also in
dulged in. Star Actress was the first to
show in front, but did not last long, and
Leonardo, Little Tom and Indra took
turns in carrying the banner Coming
down the home stretch, however, Leon
ardo drew out slowly and after a hard
drive landed the purse by a length. Lit
tie Tom was second, two lengths be-
fore Indra.
