Sudden Changes of Form Startle
the Talent at ST. Asaph.
CASTLES STABLE is ERRATIC
He Has Bad Habit of Running Them
Last One Day and First the Next.
VIII Get Fooled If He Goes Too Far
With Judge Martin-summary of
the Days Sport.

The holiday given the office people
caused the attendance at St Asaph yes
terday to be the largest OF the meeting
Fully 1900 people iourneyed out to the
track and were rewarded by seeing a good
days racing.
Eleven bookies went on to handle the
money, and managed TO quit about even
with the talent
The track was in firstclass condition
and some very fast time was made The
finishes We're not particularly exciting as
most OF the winners landed the money in
easy fashion
The fourth was one OF the best races seen
at the track this season. There were six
starters and, with the eS deption OF Eolic,
VINO could not keep up with his field,
they went clear through the back-stretch,
noses apart. The crowd appreciated it
and loudly applauded
The only ugly featur eof the day was
Tralee's race in the third event. The horse
got off fairly well, but Parsons ierked
him back into the bunch and never gave
him a chance to extend himself until
he struck the stretch, when he came IKE
a wild horse. II was toe late, however,
ana the best he cour4 do was fourth to
Annie T. Ill
Either there was something wrong with
the horse or the boy did not want any part
of the money.
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED.
1t would also be well for the running OF
Castles horses to be investigated He has
a great habit of putting up,a poor hoy and
running last, and then getting Ham or some
other good boy and winning all the money.
kenyon's reversal of form yesterday and
Red Cross in-and-out running last week
are good examples of the way he runs
vii ha MnKa
next.
The opening event brought field of
eleven pretty poor skates together and
Flynn had terrible time getting them
Off. When he finally sent them away,
Chnk rushed to the front and setting a
merry clip was never caught. Trojan, a
10 TO 1 shot, was second, two lengths
before Parthian.
Kenyon was the hottest kind of tip in ,
the second race, being played from fours
down to even money. He took command
on the back stretch, and galIuped in an
easy winner from The Snake.
The third event looked like a gift for
Livina, and she was made a to
chance, with Tralee having second call
at fives. The race proved only an exercise
gallop for the favorite. White Cockade
ran a good race and captured second
money.
TALENT PLAYED POSTAL.
Oporto went to the post an IL to
favorite in the next race. Postal was
the tip and was played from tens down
to fives To good start Gov. Fifer
and Jubal raced head and head to the
far turn, where the latter drew away and
won easily. Oporto managed to beat the
good thing, Postal, for third money.
The fifth race was good betting affair,
all OF the starters receiving considerable
support. Flushing had the call at the
end, and closed favorite at to 2. Ham
carried Jersey to the front the first part
or the journey, bu the pace was too hot and
he dropped back in favor of West Park, who
went on and won easily from Flushing.
Craftsman was cut loose in the closing
event. He was played heavily, closing at
8 to 2. Neary rushed him out at the fall
of the flag, and, taking no chances, kept
at him to the end, where was a winner bya
length from Devisee, who was fifteen be-
fore May F.
