The exact future of the ST. Asaph track
is just present very much in doubt To
run or not TO run is the question that the
horsemen located at that track would ike

From present indications, however, it
looks as if the meeting will surely be con-
tiHued after the 18th of May. TObe Wall
has been in the West for the past few days
seeing members OF the Turf Congress. aud
is due here to-day. He has called a
meeting of the stockholders of the club aud
they viii proba bly, arrive at some defiuite
decision at once

admittance obtained 10 the Turf Congress
a successful meeting may be looked Tor.
This, however. depends largely upon how
the track is conducted A few such black
eyes as the place received by the Summer
time race last week would scon ruin jt.
If, however, tie interest OF the public
is catered TO and the officials see TO it
that offenders are brought 10 justice every
thing viii be lovely.
The public, however. cannot be easily
hoodwinked, and such barefaced day
light robberies do not escape their Observa-
ton by any means. 1t was ruuOreIi ieSt

ALL RAN AWAY.
Didget, Kandor, MurieI and Sea Gull
all ran away, the first two doing so much
OF it that they were withdrawn. KaDdor

ran away mile and then jumped the fence
on the lower turn. Mitchell, who rode
him, fell off, but was not hurt.
The event finished good betting affair.
Ponttear closed a hot favorite and coming
through when he pleased, won lever race
from Golden Gate by head.
A field OF fourteen went to the post in the
second. Belle Washington was tue good
thing, being hammered from twentys down
to 4 to 1 After Sea Gull aud Muriel had
