But the Judges Did Not See 1t That Way
The Manassas Stakes Gees to Hawarden,
to 1 Copyrights Much I'M
proved Race Wilton Came Fast at the
End and Captured the Last Race.

The attraction at st. Asaph yesterday
was the Manassas stakes of 81 900 for
maiden three year -olds and a match race
between Logan and Equity.
In the first event five Of the nine who
went to the post had graduated from the
maiden class since the opening of the meet
ing and therefore carried penalties.
Sue Kittie was made favorite, going to
the post at to 8. Hawarden, an un-
known quantity, was much fancied on the
fast time that it was reported he made
in his work. and closed at 5 to 1. OF the
others, Saloon and Founding were most
fancied.
To a good start Founding showed in
front and cut out the running to the far
turn, where Hawarden commenced to
move up, and swinging into the stretch
had his field beaten. A the end he woR
as he pleased, beating his field four lengths.
Sue Kittie was second, as many before
Salvor.
A GOOD MATCH RACE.
The match race was the outcome of
claim that L. j. Downham had made to
the judges that Reifr had pulled Equity
i'll her race ON Monday, when she was
beaten by both Logan and Little Mat.
The judges did not allow the claim, and
j. j. McCafferty, for whom Reiff rides,
offered to bet 81 600 against $500 that
Logan could beat Equity.
The bet was made and the horses ran a
very exciting dead heat. Many people
thought that Equity beat Logan by a short
nose. The decision on the whole was q good
one
Twenty-four books, the largest number
that have been on during the meeting,
handled the money and did good day s buSi-
ness. They again succeeded in downing the
talent, only two favorites won.

favorite, closing at even money. Mable
Glen wasliked bya select fe W and went to the
post at fives.
GOT AWAY FIRST.
Keefe got the best of the start with Mable
Glen and cut out the running clear to the far
turn, where Oxford, a 20 to 1 shot, came up
with a rush and took command. II. Lynch,
who rode him, kept him going and won by a
length from Mable Glen who lasted long
enough to beat SenatorV est a neck
The second race for two -yeaF-olds at half
a mile brought a field of five to the post.

times, and closed at To 8.
