The racing at the st. Asaph track yester-
day was OF A No l quality in every par
ticular. The crowd was large, the betting
brisk, and the finishes everything that could
be desired Add TO this almost perfect
racing weather, and what more could the
public want?
The events were about equally divided
between the boOkies and the talent The
latter managed TO hold their own, but
money-making books in nearly all OF the
events
The fourth race furnished a Tattling
finish between four horses that brought the
hearts OF the talent up in their mouths

Fassett won the fourth race. DR.. Reed
should have won handily but he managed 10
run into half dozen different pockets
during the race.

clear in the stretch was coming fast when
the horses closed in on him and killed his
last chance of winning.
The closing event was the only unpleasant
part Of the days sport. 1t was as full of
dead ones as hive of bees, and the betting
should have been about . to l which one was
not a lobster.

in the opening race and sent him to the post

chance. She galIoped out in front all the
way and won by a length and half from
Young Griffo, with Tyro third.
