A high-speed three-channel photon-counting photometer was used on three nights to observe DY Peg, an ultrashort-period Cepheid of the AI Vel type. Seven epochs of maximum and two sets of O-C values are determined. The results are combined with data obtained over the past 30 yr to recalculate both the equation for the epoch of maximum and the rate of period change. The period decay rate is found to be (6.3 + or - 0.2) x 10 to the -12th day/day, which corresponds to a period decrease of (3.1 + or - 0.1) x 10 to the -8th per yr. It is concluded that certain random factors are present in the star's period changes.
