HOME IN THE G[0lmING
Last Race at St. Asaph Run in
the Dark.
BROPHY FoULED LITTLE JOE
But Judge Martins Associates Did
the Claim Was Not AllOwed-Sea-
tuck,t Ran with Blinkers-Lady
Richmond Cut Loose at Last.

Visions of Maspeth rose before the eyes
of the talent AT the st. Asaph track yester-
day about the time the last race was run.
II was very nearly pitch dark when the
contestants crossed under the wire, and
but for the fact that the electric lights
were nit the followers of the outlawed
ponies might have thought themselves
once more back at the fly-by-ni merry
go-round on Long Island.
Ii was through no fault of Starter Flynn,
however, that the talent traveied home
in the cleaning. He had some pretty bum
fields, made up OF a lot of crazy skates,
Ia handle, and start AFTER start was spolied
by some one bad actor.
This getting home TO a cold dinner did
not please the talent any too much more
particularly as they came ont second best
uu the day, after a hard hight TO extract
the bookies' long green" from their little
tin boxes. Only two favorites were sue
cessrul, and as the betting was very heavy
the pcncilers were in a jolly good humor
when they closed up shop for the day.
LOOKED LIKE A FOUL.
There would have been one more favorite
TO cash but for what looked to be case
of fouling in the first event. Tommy
Bropny was the offender. Little Joe was
the favorIte in the race, ha wing gone to the
post at seven to five in the betting.
He looked winner till well in the
stretch, where Brophy came Numbering
along and bearing down on Little Joe like a
Princeton quarterback nearly knocked him
off his feet. BY the time Afford pulled
his mount together and got him back into his
stride BTopny was under the wire good
head TO the good.
Afford made a claim of foul that was not
allowed. Presiding Judge Martin thought
that 1t should have been, but his associates
disag reed and the horses were placed as
they finished. Mohawk, twelve to one
chance. finished third three lengths away.
CUT LOOSE AT LAST.
Another long shot reached home in the van
III the second race. Lady Richmond was
finally utloose and won at odds of twelve
To one. The last time this filly started she
finished sixth in field of seven. That
that race was bad one can easily be seen
when dog like Della NJ. won il handily.
Luinberman was favorite in the race. but
despite Dclehanty's clever finish, lost the
decision by n head. Marguerite was third,
two lengths away.
The third race was a good betting affair
with Velvet Rose. Arda and Cody closing
equal choice at 4 to l. To a sCCd start
Velvet Rose was off in front ana led all the
way 10 tie betting ring where Arda nailed
her and at the end won handily by th ee
parts of a length.
Juliet was very heavily played to win
the fourth race and rewarded her bac
by landing the money easily from Bronston
with FoXglove third. Gailatin was also
played but his people evidently forgot TO
put the soup in him and he finished among
the also rams"
LONG SHOT WON.
Beatrice " received the bulk of the sup
port IN the fifth event closing at l 10 D
with Collgsion next III demand AT o 10 z.
They neither of them scored, the winner
turning up in Earn who was a 3 to 1
chance.
The closing race was won by Seatucket.
He had the blinkers on yesterday and it
was evidently his day. To make ii stronger,
however, the balance of the fled was dead
behind him and as a result he wen easily
from Fatal with Gonzales third Outside of
the winner Fatal looked to be the only
live one in the race.
