The morning times., 1895-10-08

There was an exciting days sport fur
nished at the St Asaph track yesterday
In the first place. not one favorite out OF
the six managed 10 land the coin and that
in itself was enough TO make the sport
very iateresiin ing-at least, for the talen',.
Strange TO say however, the talent did
not get as much the worst of it as might
have been expected under the circumstances
as the bookies were very hard hit oil the
Tribute Marie Lowell race.
The fun started up when Dan DOnnelly
began TO ''kiIr' Manola in the opening
race Manoia opened at 3 TO 3 ana
should have been l 10 10 chance. Some
little play came in on her, but, strange
to say, her price kept going up and up
until there was TO l in some of the
books and the others were laying 10 o.
Dan Donnely was leading the process
sion and was shouting out for the smart
people, to come on with their Manola
money a the top OF hi syoice- They We're
all scarce If. however, and with the
exception of a few pikiug bets there was
very little money went in on the mare and
Tartar was made II hot favorite at D TO b.
DAN WAS UP. TO SNUFF.
When the flag fell Manola went to the
front, and dra wing away from her field,
was an easy winner at the end by three
lengths from Muilet. They gavesDonnelly
the laugh all over the ring, but the laugh
was on the other side when it was re-
ported that the genial Dan had something
up his sleeve. and that he and Ryan. the
owner OF Manola, had raked off something
ike six thousand in the pool rooms all over
the country.
This was fun enough for. one day, but
IL did not end here, as the next thing To
happen was for Marie Lowell and Tribute
to go out and run dead heat in the fourth
race. At least so the judges decided it,
but it looked from the stand as II the mare
had won by a nose.
In the run-or the mare was hot favorite
closing at to 8. with Tribute at To 1.
Lowell led all the way and could have Won
easily. but Cole, who had the mount on
her, threw the race away. He had the horse
tip-toeing all the way, and could have
opened up a gap of couple of lengths
on the turn into the stretch. Instead of
doing SO. however, he Kept her head up in
his lap. and as a result Tribute came on
and caught her just at the wire.
Again did il look as if the decision was
poor. as this time it was as clean dead
heat as was ever run on a race track, but
the judges placed Tribute first.
DIR. JOHNSON WAS A LOBSTER
The second race of the day, which was
three quarters of a mile, was won by
Galety at OOuS OF 4 To l. BT JpllHsOn WIS

to keep himself warm. and finished third

stretch, won easily from Electro, 10 to

Eddie II. was easily the best horse in the
fifth race, aud was sent to the post
hot choice at 8 to D. If he had received
decent start he co1ld not have lost, but he
was at least six lengths out of it when
the flag fell and finished second TO Pope.

The closing race went TO another out
slider, Samaritan taking everything in sight
at odds OF to 2. He opened favorite,
but was not much fancied, and steadily re-
| ceded in the betting. He led from flag gfal
TO finish. and won by two lengths from
Pocahontas, with Contest third. Tommy
Brophy finished third, but was disqualified
for fouling Contest just as the horses passed
the judges stand.
