1 satisfaction to clOud oil witnesses. There were no
doubtful decisions or unpleasant incidents and
| the declously cool and inyigOrating air gave an
edge to the enjoyment of all. Seven good races
were run, aud the victory every fairly
gained. No one could feel that the best horse had
been beaten by any accident, by poor riding or un-
even starts Ii was O record Of successes due 10
merit and not to mishaps-that Is, comparative
merit at the weights for five of the seven races
| were handicaps and the sixth was practically
| handicap with its selling allowances. And the
hsndicaps well devised and very liberal. Three
favorcs out Of the seven succeeded IL was anything
but lucrative day for the Punger who widely
astray in several Of his selections.
| Tne Maryland hlly FaIrvew most fancied for
| the Homebred Produce Stakes but Mr. Wltherss
| colt Blackstone proved faster. The thrcc-year-old
| handicap seemed-On paper-a boon Tor Infanta,
| but that uncertain and DISAPPOINTING horse Wyo.
ming took up The highest weight and carried IT tri-
! umphantly Gussle NJ. being good second followed
! by Infanta, Duplex and Mss lumey Then GIfoha
showed her ulqucstionabe superiority 10 sweet
| Home and Aella in a mile and quarter. She WAS
a fayorite over the field. Nine twO-year-olds took
part in the fourth race The favorIte and the win
ner turned np m the lightly weighted Canation;
her private trials had been good 10 justly tho
confidence of her owners and their friends, whose
| gains were generous. CarnatIOn had good held
behind hcr-Brcezo, DsdaIn, Adamantus, Lucky u"
| Gano, FaIrwater Heel-and-Toe and Bella. Tho
lqst-named ily was conspicuous for half mile and
then faded away. Breeze and Disdain deserved
praise, but the California colts fell much below what
was reasonably expected OF them
III, NTH race made the most STIR In that those
old heroes Checkmate, GcnmOre and Monitor met
at a mile and three-quarters, each carrying lis
pounds. Curiously enough. it was the FIRST time thai
of all these three had been in the same race though
Monitor had met each Of the others repeatedly and
! Chcckm and Glanmorc had contended IN former
| years. Priam also IN with only oS pounds,
but he was thoug ght to be entirely ecpsed by the
three starts and little attention was given him.
Checkmate was first IN the betting ami Glenmore
second though a careful analys Of the racing OF
the three for a month past shows that Monitor
really deserved the most support. He certainly
was much the best horse yesterday. Starting on at
a rafting pace he kept it up so stOuty and stub
bOrniY that Checkmate and Glenmoie found them
selves unabl, to oyertake him. Priam hArred him
in the homes tretch and at the furlOng post seemed
the winner. Bnt the big son Of Glenelg
made a final effort which gave him the race by
half length. This was one of the best of Monitors
many good races.
Viola Brighton Beach fly. had been taken
over TO Ling Branch especially to win the selling
race. She only had eighty three pounds TO carry,
and the Brighton Beach party was extremely conf
| dent-so confident to indicate that she had not
been run 10 at some of her races at Brighton,
where she has not been successful once tins year.
| SO heavily was she backed that several book
makers cried quits, and at the start the betting
against her was only to 3. But the whole scheme
failed miserably The flly could not run away
from her field as expected. In fact, she next to
last at the end and Marathon proved the winner
Ike Benham defeated Guy, Felix and Joe Hunt in
the steeplechase.
