There are only three days more at Monmouth this
vear-to-day, tomorrow 0hc extra day IL which
salvador is expected to smash the record to small
fragments o task which Tenny so wofully failed to
dsy on Thursday when there will be two important
Gandicaps with 900 added money TO each one Tor
ods and the other for olds There
shoud be no lack OF interest in these three final days
The principal attraction to-day is the Monmouth Han-
cap at mile and half. Salvador is anpounced as
probable starter bat it is hardly likely that he will
90 as the field is strong that even II be wins 30
must have a severe race, which would dull his speed
and probably prevent the OF his record break

field would be by far the best handicap ted hs

running at a mile and half at weights so well ad-
justed that the finish should be close and doubtful
This is feast OF fat things, but II will be the only
race of much interest to-day.
In the antiquated and unnteresting Homebred
Stakes, which these Is good reason to retain on
the Monmouth Park programme any longer only three
ara expected TO start, two from Mr.. Wtherss Stable
Mr. Wthers is warmly attached 70 this OLD fashioned
sud shop worn race and Esperanto, from E. j.

in the last race Volunteer Is TO be asked 10 take up
1St pounds, and to go seven furlongs. He caDtered
home on Saturday with 147 pounds up at three
qcartcrs of a mile but the additional seven pounds
and the additional furlOng may prove too much for
he can carry that weight victory at that distance
