Race-He Should Have Beaten Hal
lie Gay-Mollle May Captured the
Dogs Contest-MeIinda Made Rum
away of Herself In the Last Event.

! The somewhat cooler weather caused the
| attendance at St Asaph TO be much larger
than 1t has been for the past week The
talent and bookies were, however, glad
| when it was all over and they could pack
| UP and get back to town.
The gentemeQ who daily wage war with
| the bOokRlakers were in much better form
than they have been of late, and succeeded
! in landing no less than four winners,
and a well-played second choice over the
plate.
Jockeys Duffy and Murphy were the stars
OF the day, winning between them all but
one of the races Duffy had three to his
| credit and Murphy two. Ever since Duffy
has been riding for the Winter Stable he
| has been In great form
He gets much better mounts than he did
before he was taken up by them and seems
to have better seat and clearer head
than he did when he was free-lancing.
SHOULD HAVE WON EASILY
Johnny Dtestel captured two of the events,
one with his two-year-old, Halle Gay, and
the other with Joe Mack. Halle Gay
took Steve L L'Hommedieu good fi1y, Dutch
Girl, into camp in great shape, but no one
doubted for a moment that Dutch Girl was
not pulled Delehanty had the mount on
| her and rode n very suspicious race.
He looked to have the race in hand when
they struck the far turn, but took double
| wrap on his mount and, throwing her com
pletely out of her stride, fell back a couple
| of
into the stretch she came very fast and
catching the flying leader was gaining at
| every jump when Mr.. Delehanty let go
| OF her head and went TO the bat with the
| result that Gay Won with sonnet ming to spare.
The opening event was captured BY a
| favorite that was played nearly off the
| boards. Odd Socks was the tip: his good
race with Mirage at the Island ma king him
! figure a Ciuch. He went to the post
at even money, got off badly, ran al round
his field, and won i'll a gallop. Irish Pat
came very fastin thestretch ana was second,
three lengths in front of Wyoming
Dutch Girl opened favorite for the two
year-old event, but by post time the Western
| colt was a Z to 3 favorite with as good
as TO l obtainable against Dutch Girl.
The latter broke in front but Halle Gay
| quickly took the lead froniher and was never
headed, winning with something 10 spare
by a head, with Dutch Girl six lengths
before Higbie.
CAPTURED THE DOG RACE.
Mollie May was at all times favorite in the
third race, which was fordogs. She opened
at even money and closed at the same
| price. When the flag fell she was two
lengths to the good and was never caught
Philadelphia gave her a strong argument
| at the finish, but could not quite get up
and had to be content with second money
The fourth race was for sprinters at five
! furlongs and seemed hard one from which
to pick a winner. Harvest was finally
Ftsettled upon and closed at twos. Grampian
was second choice at fours, with Blue Bird,
fClansman and Plunderer at skies.
Murphy rushed Clansman out in front the
moment the flag fell and was never col
Jared. He won in gallop by five lengths
! with Major McNulty second, a head be
fore Fassett.
The fifth race was Joe Mack's and
proved nothing but pipe opener for the
westerner. He was in front all the way.
Renaissance ran into second money, with
HipDona third.
The closing race went to Melinda, who
made a runaway affair of it. She got off
in the bunch but rushed TO the front with
a wonderful burst of speed, and opening
up a gap of five lengths was first at the
finish in the commonest kind of canter
Eva'S Kid was second with Silver Queen,
the favorlte, third.
