HAD HARRY N. lBlTTERf?
Ran Away for -Four Miles After
Beating Tribute.
INVESTIGATED BY JUDGES
But Failed TO Find Anyt hing Sus-
plcIous-Two Heavily Played Good
Went Through-Neary Was Kicked
While at Post Oh Ponce de Leon.

If Harry NJ, who won the fourth event
at st. Asaph yesterday, did not have a
few stiff doses OF Tobin's ''extract OF
lightning" shot into bis system by means
OF his Jockeys spurs during the running
of the race, then there never was such
thing as speed producing" electric bat
terry invented.
When n horse like Harry n. not only
beats a high class animal OF the calibre Of
Tribute, bat runs away for four miles after
doing so, then 1t is time to institute an in
vestigation. Jockey Dorsey, who had
the mount on the animal, has reputation
for applying the battery and this led the
judges to make a careful search of both the
boy and horse after he returned TO tue
stand TO weigh out.
THIS investigation failed TO reveal any
thing out of the ordinary and the horses
number was accordingly run up and tickets
paidoff. Notwithstanding this. full ninety
nine out OF every hundred people at the
track thought that some artificial mean1
were employed TO make the horse run. In.
deed, it Is asserted on good authority
that the boy succeeded in disposing or
the battery" on the back stretch.
CROWDED AROUND THE STAND.
The affair caused quite a ripple of ex-
element and fully 500 people gathered
around the Judges stand after Dorsey
finally succeeded in pulling the animal up
aud returning to the wire: Many OF them
had tickets on Tribute. who ran second,
while others had played Harry NJ. There
was no big plunge made on the latter
at the track, but it may have been played
in the out-of-town pool rooms for all it
was WORTH
The betting on the day wa sfairly goodand
as three favorites, backed mp by two sec
ond choices, got home in 'front.' the talent
quit somewhat ahead of the game. Al
though Jimmy" Adams took his book Off
''Nelse" Collins went on and the talent thus
had the regular nine books to buck up
against.
Red Star was very heavily played in the
opening race, being backed from 10 to 1
down to to 2. Blue Bird was also well
backed, going from 10 down to 5, while
Notes price went from even money to 8
TO .. After over half an hours delay
at the post, Red Star broke in front and
was never headed, winning pulled up by
six lengths from Mote, with Blue Bird
third.
GOOD THING WENT THROUGH.
The talent had another good thing in
the second race, pla wing Blue Bonnet from
SIS down TO 8 to 8. This one also went
through, Blue Bonnet going to the front
on the back stretch and at the end win
ming handily by two lengths from Blood
stone, with Fatal third.
The wise people would have nothing in
the third event. which was for the young
sters, but Uallie Gay. They played him
from to 8 to l to 2. What ever
chance he had of winning was killed by
the jockey who rode him. Dutch Lobr-
man had the mount and he put up about as
incompetent a ride as could be found in a
weeks hunt As a result, Halle Gay
finished forth, with Torresdale the winner
by head from svengali, who beat Mullagh-
more two lengths for second money.
The fourth race was the Harry NJ affair.
Tribute was a top heavy favorite at 2 to
8. He led clear 10 the paddock gate, where
Harry NJ drew away with a sudden burst
of speed and Won handily by a length.
Tribute beat Fozglove by eight lengths.
WON AS HE PLEASED.
There was nothing in the fifth race but
Johnny. He was a TO 5 chance, and
going to the front when he pleased, won
in gallop by four lengths from Venusburg,
with Annie 7. third.
When the horses went to the post In the
last race, Ponce de Leon was the fayorite
ats to 8. Neary, who had the mount on
Ponce, was kicked while at the post and
Andrews was substituted in his place. AT
this a rush was made to get down on
Lumberman, and both he and once
finally closed al 2 to l Ponce went to the
front on the first turn, and leading the
and a half from Lumberman, who was
