The morning times., 1895-08-22

A very quiet DAYS sport was furnished
at the St Asaph track yesterday. The
weather was almost perfect, the attend
ance good, and the betting brisk. The fin
ishes, however, were rather tame, as nearly
all of the events were won without much
effort
The fivebooks that went on did avery good
days business, but did not get much the best
of the game, as two favoritcs and three
second choices landed Che coin. The boOkies
| get much better play at st. Asaph than
| they do at the Island track, as the at
| tendance is not only larger, bat the talent
seem to be more willing to risk their money
| at the lower track.
! The executive committee held a meeting
TO investigate the running OF Jimmie James
I in the first race on Monday and decided not
to increase the punishment Starter Flynn
! had given zeIler OF sixty days on the ground.
1 This was very just, as the case could not be
! fully proven and the boy claimed that ths
! horse swerved into the rail.
| Judge Martin believes in giving the boys
| the benefit OF the doubt whenever there is
a chance 10 do so, and 1t usually turns
1 out that they appreciate this, and when
1 they get back in the saddle profit by
! their experience.
MARION F. DIED.
! Marion F, one of the two-year-olds
/ that started in the second race, came to =
/ sudden end She either broke blood
vessel or dropped dead of heart disease
/ She was running well up in the bunch going
/ down the back stretch when the accident
/ happened 4 youngster named K RobmSon
had the mount, bat beyond a severe shaking
! up was not injured by the fail
I There was not one horse that was at
/ better odds than 3 10 l to laEd the money.
I Ltlhograph slid into second money in the
/ first race at the juicy odds of 20 20 l.
4 Airpl9nt finally decided that il might be
/ good idea for him TO win the confidence
/ OF the talent by capturing a race. and did
! The trick in the opening event He has re-
! ceIved considerable support the last few
! times that lie has started, but has not been
/ quite up to doing the trick. Yesterday
! ne looked to be in an easy spot, and wasmade
/ an evcn-money favortc.
The handicappers hardly saw how Little
/ Ralph could be defeated in the two-year-
| old race and gladly the even money
/ that the bookics chaIked up. They were
not quite so confident after the race, as
/ the good thing was defeated by the second
I choice, Rapids The latter was out in
front The entire distance and won in
/ ard drive by an open length. Il was owing
more TO Murphy's goud riding than any
! thing clscthat hc landed the money.
BOOKIES HAD IT RIGHT.
The bo6kies liked Jack Lowell in the
third race and chalked up to against
/ him. The talent did not see It that way,
however and made Molie May thefavorite,
! sending her to the post an even money shot.
They would have done better il they had
taken the bookmakcrs' tip, as Lowell was
in front all the way and won handily from
MoIlic May by a length, with Sentinel II
third
Marguerite II was played in the fourth
event as if it was all over but the betting
but did not run as if she was anywhere
near race. She got off fairly well but
was outfooted from the start
Cheftaiu was in front till well in the
| stretch, where DR.. Hood caught him aud
in a hard drive managed to get in front
! When he once got there he eaSed up some
what and won rather easily at the end.
Granlpian, Pie and Harvest divided the
| support in the fifth race. Pie finally closed
| the faYorite, but could not do The trick
/ Granpian went to the front d tie fall OF the
flag and, leading to the end, won haHdiIy
from the favorite, who was SIX lengths in
front OF Silver Queen.
The closing race went to Marie Lowell,
who should have been a l 10 20 shot. The
books laid at times as good as l to 2againSt
! her. She was in front from the moment
they struck the backStretCh, and, staying
there to the end, won in gailop by three
lengths from Hippona, who was eight
| before Sir Rae.
