The Great Event at Monmouth
Park-Other Races.
MONMOUTH PARK, August 11.-Seven-
eighths of mile-Telie Doe won in :2S,
Little Minch second, Banyan third.
Junior champion stakes for 2-year-
olds, three.quarters of mile-Nearly all
the crack jockeys of America were
mounted in this race. The precise value
of the stake to the winner was $23 ,010.
As the flag fell the colors of the
Dryers showed in front, as Oregon
dashed by with Salvador next. Distaff
and Diablo headed the rest and Reporter
trailed far in the rear. The Favordale
colt Immediately ran out and took
the lead, passing the half-mile
post length before Diablo,
who was head in front OF
Proctor Knott, who was the same dis
tance ahead of Distaf, who had Oregon
at his saddle girth; Fresno was next.
Going around the upper turn Little
Barnes went to the front with the West
ern wonder, Proctor Knott, with burst
of speed that struck terror to the souls of
his competitors. He was first in the
home stretch by length, with the
Favordale colt Fresno and Salvador next.
After that the race was virtually over,
for Proctor Knott galloped home an easy
winner by two lengths in the very fast
time of 1:14. The Favordale colt was
second and was head before Fresno,
third. The others came in the following
order Salvador, Oregon, Caliente, ,Diablo,
Peru, Sorrento, Lady Margaret, Verdeur,
Reporter and the Cyclone colt.
One and one eighth mile-Hypocrite
won in 1927, Egmont second, Favor
third.
Champion stakes, one and one-half
mile-Starters, Kingston, Firenzi, Santa
lima. They got off at the second offer,
and Santalina took the lead length be-
fore Firenzi. They maintained their
relative positions to the middle of the
back stretch, where Garrison moved
Firenzi to the front, and Kingston took
second place. On the upper turn Nc
Laughlin drew his whip and gave it to
Kingston at lively rate. He responded
gamely, and pushed Firenzi fairly we'll to
the last furlong post, where Mclaughlin
saw that he had no chance, and Firenzi
won by six lengths in :35. Kingston
was second dozen lengths before San
talina. The Terra Gotta people, it is un-
derstood, Immediately after the race ex-
pressed their willingness to match their
horse against Firenzi for mile and
quarter for IS, 900 side, but Haggin did
not think favorably of the proposition as
he does not consider mile and quar-
ter long enough distance for Firenzi.
The matter will probably end in sweep
stakes match in which Kingston will be
entered.
