DWYER COLORS IN FRONT.
GEORGE KINNEY AND MISS wooDFoRD WIN.

Nearly all turfmen were ready to bid q sad

and of with Editor that the days OF his triumphs
seened over But yesterday he out as fresh and
a. strong as before and outran Pontiac, winning
the milo race by length In 142a Pontiac caught cold
after his Suburban victory and has been coughing ever
since. But at his best 1t is now doubtful
II he can overcome the mighty OF Bonnie Scotland
who seems now as fast as he was in his life. or
course Kinneys feeble forelegs may give way at any
time but until they give way he is not likely to meet
conqueror. Pontiac ran fine race, but Kinney ran
better.
Kinneys victory was extremely popular with the vast
throng assembled. the biggest multitude that
Monmouth Park ever welcomed The grand stand seats
$500 and every Of 1t packed, while thouaands
OF men found shelter under the betting stand 1t was
o good humored host and the frequent hcavy
showers were laughed at rather than lamenteo.
It almost invariably rains at Long Branch on tne
Fourth Of July. Yesterday morning the sky was so
clear and fair that seemed to find an ex-
cepton But soon after rain came and 1t fell
heavily at intervals until o'clock. 1t anected the
track little in the three but the remaining

Pontiac was great favorite in tho first race betting

faithful adhcrents OF the Dwyer stable we're handsome

The betting was 10 1 Miss woodford in the Ocean
etakes Only Lomsette and Goano ran against her,
Wanda being withdrawn. Louisette showed no
speed and Goano got second place.
Louisette was great mare last au-
tumn She may be again in the coming september, but
now her running is contemplate. Miss Woodford
merely played with Goano, though Mclaughlin let the
spectators enjoy the shadow Of struggle until the last
few strides were reached The time was slow-l;o9-
but Miss woodford could have made 1t at least two
seconds faster.
Electric did nothing to justify the public conhdencei in
him i'm the Hopeful Stakes. On Wednesday he defeated
Bon All and Prcciosa at Sheepshead Handsomely In

day they both outran him, as did also the Dwyers

lot of money to put him. But he ran miseraby as
did Thackeray The running of both of these colts was
amazingly bad in comparison with their recent per-
