MONMOUTH, Aug. I1.-Air and earth
never conspired to better grace fields of
races than on the opening of the Mon
mouth park second summer meeting.
Only the flags at half mast for gallant
Phil Sheridan, in life president of the
Chicago Jockey club, gave hint of
soberness to the gay scene. The
attendance was very large and
the track fast. Every crack two
year-old in America. barring French
Park, was in for the $500 junior
champion stake. Ransom, Kasson,
Vengeur and the Belle were scratched
and Caliente, Sorrento and Verdeur
were added to the list of starters. After
twenty-five minutes delay at the post
they were sent away in a bunch, Re-
of it. The Favorable Colt
took up the running at once,
length before Diablo, Tipstaff, Proc
tor Knott and Oregon. The Western
crack, Proctor Knott, was running
strong, and capturing the lead at the
stable turn, was first in the home stretch,
a half-length before the Favorable Colt,
Fresno and SalutOr next before Diablo.
Proctor Knott;
HE HAD IT TOO SURELY.
The Favorable Colt, Fresno, Salvador
and Oregon battled for the place. Proc
tor Knott won with something to spare
by three lengths, the Favorable Colt
getting the place, a short head before
Fresno. The time was remarkably
good for such field. Value of the stake
to winner S23,010. In the champion
stakes Connemara was scratched.
The betting was 2 to l on FirenZi.
to 5 against Kingston and % to l
against Santalene. The latter was suf-
fered to lead for mile, when the 9TH
ers came by as if she was standing still.
] ir mis- victory over Kingston was of
the easiest sort, he winning in a canter
by half dozen lengths. The speedy
filly could have beaten the record
as we'll as not. In other races, Garri-
sons vigorous finishing landed Telie Doe
winner head before Little Minch,
md Rupert nose in front of Drake.

LOttie Wall beat Luminary length. In
