JUDGES down ON CLARE
They Sustain Their Decision RuI-
ing OFF the Jockey.
THE STABLE is NOT BLAMED
Racing at ST. Asaph Is Very Much
Cleaner Than 1t Used to Be-Man-
agement Makes Dishonest Owners
and Jockeys Race on the Level
Halcyon Furnished Surprise.

While the st. Asaph officials are bound
do not intend to act too hastily and before
they take final action on any of their
rulings they thoroughly investigate the
matter in hand.
Last week when they ruled off Jockey
Glare they were not satisfied with the
evidence in hand at that time and therefore
decided TO hold another meeting before
finally acting in the matter.
They locked fuIther into TIE race and
after most exhaustive inquiry sustained
their decision relative to Clare and at
the same time exonerated the Excelsior
stable.
Just what evidence they had TO back
them up in such a decision it would be
hard TO say, as 1t looked as il the boy
had gotten much the worst of it, Judge
Martin aims TO be fair in every particular,
and 1t is safe to say that he and the rest
OF the officials would not take any basty
action.
The Billy Boy case could not be finally
disposed OF, aud was laid over until next
Wednesday
The officials of the club are to be con
graduated upon the clean sport that has so
far been furnished The material they
have TO handle is pretty tough, and il is
uphill business TO have the races run on
the level.
MORE SHOW FOR THEIR MONEY.
That the public appreciate their efforts
in that direction isappareut fromthe steady
increase in the attendance. 1t is not only
much larger than at the Island track but
is vast Improvement over the attendance
at st. Asaph the first week after they
had left the Jockey Club
The public feel that they are going to
get a run for their money and therefore
GO TO st. Asaph IN prnfeIence To buekiDg
the first game at the merry -go-round on
Alexander Island
Ten b6okies went on Yesterday and broke
about even with ting talent as three
fayorites landed the nfosey.
The finish in the two-year-old event
was of the heart-breaking order. Hughey
McCarren's Torello was said TO be as fast
as chain lightning, and was plunged on to
such an extent that Ire was backed from
his opening price OF twos down to to 10.
Svengdli was also a hot tip, and went from
skies down to threes.
Washburn rushed the favorite out in
front and opened up big gap. Coming
into the stretch he was three lengths to
the good, but was firing rapidly.
SyENGALI HYPNOTIZED TORELLO.
In the meantime Corbley was hard at
work upon svengali, who steadily bore
down upon the flying leader, and in
red-hot finish landed the race by head.
Corbley comes very near being the best
boy now riding on the outlaw tracks. He
never loses his head. and when it comes
to a finish can give Washburn 'caTds and
spades and then beat him out. He clearly
demonstrated this yesterday, as his mount
was out to the last pound when he passed
under the wire.
A lot of good money went in on Mirage
and he was made favorte in the opening
event. He wentto the front ntbe backstTetch
and led into the run for home, when
Darkness passed him and won by head.
The third event looked cinch for Tan
cred, who was made a to 8 CT oice. He
took command when he pleased and won
easily.
Hume captured the fourth race with the
greatest ease at the almost prohibtive
odds of 2 to 5. Doc Birch ran q good
race and finished second.
Jersey went to the post 8 to shot
in the fourth race, and, running game
race. won by half length from Fassett.
Halcyon furnished the surprise of the
day, winning the closing event at the com :
Portable odds of 80 to 1.
