GOLD DIGGER FELL DEAD
Racer at St. Asaph Went a Pace
That Ended in Death.
DIEsTEL GOT TWO RACES
Both His Horses We're, However,
Prohibitive Favorites and He Got
Very Little Out of Them-Pipe
Opener for Joe Mack-Warren Gail
loped in Front All the Way.

The sun had gone down and the shades
of night were FALLING fast when the last
race was run off at the st. Asaph track
yesterday. It's n good thing that the as
sociation has changed the time of start
ing the first race, as they would have been
compelled To put IN an electric light plant
very soon.
The principal cause of the delay yester-
day was an accident that happened in the
last race. The horses had been n l the post
for some time, when, in false break,
Gold Diggetsgut the best uf his jockey and
ran away for three-quarters of mile.
He ran like wig horse, but the boy sue
cecded In pulling him up night III front OF
the starters stand He Jumped down from
the horse to give him chance, and was
just Oh the point of reniounting when the
animal suddenly stiffened out his hind legs
aud falling to the ground, was dead before
HORSE KEELED OVER.
He must have been III a very high-strung
condition, and had heart trouble, as he
keeied over like II shot.
This or course helped to delay the last
race, and the long time that the horsessta yed
at the post in the first event also contributed
largely to theannoyance.
Johnny Diestei Won Two races, one with
Joe Mack and the other with silva. These
did not do him much good, however, as
they were both prohibitive favorites, one
closing aJ i 10 1 and The other at TO B.
Both Syde and Grey Forest received
heavy support i'll the opening race. the lat
ter finally closing favorlte. He was not
in IL from the start. Sydc making all the
running and winning easily by three lengths
from Padre with the iavorite third.
German seemed 10 outclass his field i'll
the second race and was made a 3 to B
chance. Velvet Rose opened up a big gap
and came within an ace of getting ihcmouey
She led TO the last jump when Gorna II oked
his nose in front and got the decision.
ONLY A PIPE OPENER.
The next event was simply pipe opener
for Joe Mack. The books We're afraid 10
lay better than to 4 against him and they
might well have been. To a good start
Manolia piloted the bunch down the hack
stretch. Joe Mack caught her on the turn
and she quit badly. At the finish she was
next to last. Tribute was good second half
a length before Marie Lowell
Diestei took his second race of the day
i'll the next event with silva. At times 2 10
) could be had az inst him, but the market
price was / to 3. 1t was only after q
hard drive all the way through the stretch
that he managed to get up IN time To- beat
Jimmie James a short balf length.
Harry Warren was good thing In the
fifth race. He opened at Ia 4, went back
to To ., and was then played down TO
to 3, at which price he closed. He galluped
in front the entire trip and at the end won
easily from Lady Lister, with Memo third.
With a good boy in the saddle Little joe
would have won the closing race. Garri
gan lost his head when it came tn i brush
with Murphy and was beaten by three
parts of a length by Jo. Jap. Columbus,
Jr., was third length and a half back.
