hnce of the meeting, good Judges eSul-
mating the crowd at fully $4,000. The
day was cloudy, the skies lowering, and
at times showery. Otherwise the day
was delightful. The track was as fast
as it is possible ever to get it. 1t was
dustyon the turns and the back stl etch,
but the quarter stretch was sprlnkled.
The great event was the fourth on the
card. 1t showered smartly just before
and during the third race, but only
enough of moisture fell to lay the dust
Oh the track, and shortly before the
bugle summoned the horses to the start
the sun ShOne brightly through riffs in
the clouds. Buddhist was the first to
show. He was followed by Salvador,
Caiente, Proctor Knott. Eric and The
Lioness. Longstreet did not parade,
but remained on the back stretch until
they started. After one false start the
fag fell to an elegant send-otf, in which
SALVADOR WAS FIRST AWAY.
The Lioness, LOngstreet, Caliente
and Buddhist were next, and Proctor
Knott last. The Lioness at once set
sail, and on the upper turn was
a length before Eric, who was
a head in front of Caliente,
Buddhist, Salvador and Proctor Knott

ing the stand The LloneSS was a length
and half before Buddhist, who was the
same distance in front of Longstreet,
who led Eric length. Salvador and
Proctor Knott brought up the rear. On
the lower turn Buddhist was at The
Lioness' schoulder and length and a
half before Longstreet. He was a
length in front of Eric. Salvador and
Knott were still behind. AS they
rounded into the back stretch Buddhist
took the lead, two lengths before Long
street. The LionesS was third. Saliva
tor moved up to third place nearing the
stables, and Proctor Knott kept him
company. They ran i'll this way half
lengths apart until they swung into
the home stretch. Then began the
tug of war in earnest. Neither
whip, spur nor voice was spared
In the effort to gain the lead. AT the
lastfurlOng LongStreet was length be-
fore Salvador, who was two lengths IN
front of Buddhist, who had Proctor
Knott at bis collar. Now the fight was
fast and furious. Proctor Knott began
hackers, LOngStreet began drawing away
in front. "Why, Longstreet wins;
NOBODY BUT LONGSTREET WINS"
was cried. 1t was true. A moment
later he had clear daylight between
himself and his next pursuer. Half a
second later he was by the judges line
a winner by two lengths. Proctor
Knott, second, was head before Saliva
tor, third. Buddhist, The Lioness, Eric
and Caliente finished in the order
named. The time by fractions was
1861, :5114, 1:13%, IA and 1864. The
victor was cheered again and again

The Omnibus stake run at Monmouth
attracted almost as much attention here
this afternoon as all other races on this
track combined. Joe Cotton made 6
book, and soon had more money than he
wanted from admirers of Proctor Knott
Salvador was we'll backed, and Mike
Dwyer cheerfully supported LongStreet
1t was fully an hour after the race be-
fore the result was known, and when il
came there was very few who had any
license to cheer. Horse Haven is il
mourning tonight. and Proctor Knot
stock is a long ways below par.
