ELLIS RODE The WINNER
Stable Boy Coming Prominently
Forward as a Jockey.
FAVORITES IN FIRST PLACE
Little Jockey Bender Came Very Near
Losing His Life-His Mount Went
Down and 1t Was Feared He Had
Been Jumped Upon-Flynn Made
Bad Starts-Charma Failed Talent.

The cool weather and good card drew
an unusually large crowd to the st. Asaph
track yesterday. The bookies weighed
in and for once the talent managed to score
a victory, as four favorites and a wen
backed second choice secured the money
The best race OF tie day was the fifth
event, in which some of the highest class
horses at the track went to the pool
Hume was the favorite, closing at
to 8. Ellis, stable boy, who has suddenly
jumped into prominence by winning three
out of his first four mounts, had the leg up
and he carried the old horse the mile in
Al 1-2. When he came under the wire
he was galloping.
ESCAPED UNHURT.
The fifth race nearly witnessed fatal
accident. Little j. Bender bad the mount
on Lady May. He got off in the bunch,
but bad not run a furiong when the mare
crossed her legs and went down in a heap.
Several horses were behind her, and il
looked as if the boy would surely be killed.
By good luck, however, he was not jumped
on, and escaped With general shaking up.
The two-year-old event brought the best
youngsters at the track TO the post, and
fully demonstrated what good one is
Billy Beckett's colt, Sir William. He
won in a common canter in 0.50 "a, with
such good ones as Charma, Cadiz, and Giggle
behind him.
A HOT GOOD THING.
Reynard was the hottest kind of a tip
in the opening event he opened at to
l, but this was jumped on at such a rate
that when he. went to the post twos We're
the best obtainable.
After remaining nearly half an hour at
- Gpn n Nsa
thing" at least two lengths in front of his
field. The start was Co. of the worst that
Flynn has made dI zig the meeting. Ellis
kept on about his business with Reynard
and, never giving him chance to quit, won
gallopiDg by five lengths with Some More
three in front of Sentinel II.
Charma was, of course, the choice in the
two-year-old event, although CadiZ was
heavily played TO beat he~- At the fall of
the flag Cadiz showed in front and stayed
there to the turn, where Sir William passed
her and won in a canter
ANOTHER POOR START.
Flynn made another bad start in the
third race, leaving Chink at the post. As
there We're only five horses and he refused
one break that seemed to be all right there
was not much excuse for the blunder
Siberia, the 1 to favorite, led all
the way and won easily from Imp, Savant
The support in the four race was divided
between White Cockade and Oporto, the
former finally closing favorite at Z to 3.
Oporto opened up a big gap at the start
and they never knew which way he went
At the end he was an easy winner from
White Cockade, who beat Delurey six
lengths.
Plenty piloted the way in the next event
to the first turn, where Hume showed in
front, and steadily drawing away from his
field, cantered home in the fast time OF
| 1:41 1-2.
The closing event went TO Can't Tell,
who passed Silver Queen as they went into
the stretch, and won handily. Fritz was
second, a half length before Silver Queen.
