Excelsior Stables Should at Once
Be Ruled Off the Track.
INVESTIGATION is IN ORDER
Ruling Off of Clare Should BE Recon-
sidered and the Real o ffenders Pun
ished-Irish H. Took a Tumble
While Running Wen Up in Front.
The Boy Escaped Unhurt.

After the investigation Of the Benjamin
case Friday and the close shave that the
Garsons had to being ruled off one would
have naturally thought thatthey wonldtake
particular pains to race ION the level
yesterday. Theircase isstill pending before
the st. Asaph officials and the least thing
would of course turn the tide for or against
them.
This fact led many people TO play Little
Jim, who ran in the last race yesterday,
very heavily. Notwithstanding the flood
of money that poured in on him he receded
he closed. Tanered being the favorite at
to 5.
Cunningham had the mount on him, and
after taking pains to get off badly with
him, ran all over the track, aud was beaten
out by two lengths
The race was SO palpably fixed that
the st. Asaph officials, in justice to the
public, can do but one thing, and that is
rule off the Excelsior Stable aud every
one connected with it.
While they are doing that they should re.
consider the ruling off of Jockey Clare,
as there is hardly any doubt that Ben jamin
was a dead" horse before he ever went
to the post, If this is so the boy should
be at once reinstated
Murphy's ride on Cheddar furnished an
exhibition of Strong-armed jockeyship
that was simply superb. The horse was
an equal favorite with Tacouey, both going
to the post at 8 to 5.
CAUGHT MAPPING.
The flag went down when Mr. Murphy
least expected it and he could not resort
to his old practice OF getting left at the
post. This did not phase him. He got
off in front of his field, but jerked his
mount back into the bunch and kept him
there. He kept steady pull ou him
from start to finish, aud came under the
wire very respectable sixth
An accident which, luckily, turned out
all right, happened in the second race. Don
nelly had the mount on Irish IL. he got
off in front with him and stayed there until
the head of the stretch, where Jeneola
passed him.
AS the filly shot by him. Irish H swerYed
slightly towards the rail, and in doing so
must have crossed his legs, as he went
down in a heap. Donnelly went over his
head and rolled under the fence. After the
other horses had gone he gotup and walked
back to the paddock.
Hughey McCarren must have been tipped
off that Hume was going to beat his pet,
Trncula. Betting had been in progress
for ten or fifteen minutes when he went
to the judges and asked permission to
scratch his horse as he was very lame
He was allowed to do soand twenty minutes
given for a new book.
AT A FALSE PRICE.
Just why Flushing was made 2 to 5
favorite in the opening event it would
be hard to say, as the whole field was
well up at the finish of the race
Miss Bess got off in front and led half way
up the stretch, where a general closing up
took place. Fan King came very fast
throughthe lastfunong and won by one n aIf
length. The finish between Duke OF Fife
and Flushing was very close. The judges
gave it to the latter. but many claimed that
Duke of Fife should have hadit.
Charma was to 10 fayorite in the
