NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Ninth Junior
Champion and the Fourteenth Champion
Stakes were decided at the Monmouth
Park track this afternoon. The fields for
both races were of a high quality and
numerous enough to make the sport of q
most interesting character.
The best of the two-year-olds of the
East were to go to the post for the Junior
Champion Stakes, and as Garrison was
not able to ride Sir Walter, there was
considerable chance for filly to win the
stake for the first time since Wanda put
it to the credit of z. Lorillard in the first
year that it was run.
The race resulted in a hollow victory
for Don Alonzo, the giant son of Long
Taw and Round Dance, who won the
$40 40 prize IN the cOmmonest of cantcrs
AlonZo's immense stature enabled him to
take two strides to his opponents one,
and he covered the six furlongs in Liza
Lady Violet was tavorite at Ii To 5, while
AlonZo sold to 2.
The champion stakes was one of the
most exciting and hardest fought battles
of the year. Seven starters raced in a
solid bunch, with Demuth cutting out
the race at lively clip for more than
seven furlongs. Then they lined them
selves across the homestretch in a beauti-
1ul bunch, spurs and whips being used
freely. In the final sixteenth Lamp
lighter forged ahead, and Simms stopped
whipping, and the great colt crossed the
wire winner by a length in 2:324. This is
quarter of a second faster than Firenzis
record made several years ago. Banquet
took second money from LocOhatchie;
Montana, a two to one favorite with
Lamplighter, struggled in fifth.
