NORRIS PARK. Aug. 11.-AbOut 10000
persons made the trip here to see the
struggle for the Junior championship
stakes, and they were treated to day s
first-cIasS racing. The number of per
sons present did not indicate the inter
est in the race by any means, but the
weather was so insufferably hot thai
when time to start for the track arrived
none but the most enthusiastic could
muster sufficient courage to undertake
the journey. They thought that the
grand stand would be roaring furnace
but they were mistaken. About 0 clock
heavy clouds came up and acted as
a veil to the suns rays, and quite a
respectable breeze assisted very ma
teriaIIy in cooling the atmosphere
Still. it was not exactly cool, but it was
far better than roasting in the city. The
best two-year-olds of the year, including
His HighneSs, st. Florian, Victory and
Nomad, were
Not Eligible TO start
for the rich prize. but there was Merry
Monarch, colt that was considered but
a few pounds below His Highness
Dagonet, YOrkville Belle, Georgia and
a number of other good ones to make ii
Interesting for the talent. The track
could not have been in better condition,
and one of the best Junior Champion
ships ever run was looked for.
Tie big race was the second one
OF the card. and the names of the prob
able starters were no sooner posted
than wild rush was made for the bet
ting ring. Nothing was wanted but
Merry Monarch. He opened at s to >,
and thousands of dollars were BET on
him. The bOOkmaker5 stood the on
SIaUght manfully, but the bulk of money
was so great that his price was grad
ually cut to / to 10. at which he closed.
Then there was rally on Dagonet, and
at & to he was heavily backed. The
next to receive support was The Marcus
DAILY stable. consisting of Sir Matthew,
Silver Fox and Tammany. At to l
they carried thousands of dollars, while
of the others Bashford, Yorkville Belle
and Georgia were about the only ones
