ST. LOUIS. June pa raid by the
Sheriffs put a stop to the public betting
at the Delmar races this afternoon, but
did not interfere with the running of the
events, which were contested as nearly
to form as the muddy track permitted.

tered the ring on the run just as bookies
and spectators were going out to watch
the running of the first event ASIA re-
suit the Sheriff's deputies found only one
man at his post Charlie Celia, whom
they took in charge, together with the
paraphernalia of the betting stand. The
deputies made three rounds of the ring,
but not a bookmaker or an assistant,
not a satchel, slate or anything in the
shape of evidence could be found The
one arrest was the sum total of the
raid.
Handbooking prevailed during the re-
mainder of the afternoon, the deputies
having charge of the ring. Sheriff Her.

in future to make a book openly until
the case against the bookmakers was de-
cided in the Circuit Court. The manage
