CHAMPIONS AT MONMOUTH
DON AI.ONzO BEST OF TIE YOUNGSTERS.
LAMPLIGHTER WON THE CHAMPION STAKES BY
GOOD FORTUNE.

a large attendance Of spectators although the tota
did not exceed that Of the assembase some OF the
Saturdays OF July and August. But there was no
lack OF excitement and enthusiasm In fact II was
one OF the most exciting days Of the year. The
neat fiery in Its intensity, but there was so mich
b. enchan attention the part OF the Observers
and to keep every sense alert, that few Of those
present cared whether the mercury was at an eaua-
torial or an Arctic figure.
TIE great race OF the day, and the one that will
not be forgotten for years. was that for the Junior
Champion stakes. The peOp'e who have been criti-
csng Colonel Frederick G. McLewee and +. A. EIret
for putting Isaac Murphy the ground because OF
his repeated failures with Don Al)nzo were looking
for boes to hide themselves in after the race. Don
Alonzo led all the way at most wonderful pace and
ran Of the most astonishing ever known in
the history Of the turf. lie captured the Junior
Champion Stakes ~ the amazing time of 112 IL,
winning the race under pull and in canter, with
Lady Violet second and DR.. Rice third. This
superb colt was ridden in just the right
way By sloane, who ordered 70 send
him to the front instantly and stay in front all the
way. This colt has startling speed and when properly
ridden is one Of the best twoyear- ODDS IN
this country Lady Violet is a remarkably feet fy.
but she could not cope with the pace that set
her by Don AlOnzo, and she came In a poor second,
while DR.. Rice ran third. Garrison was TOO i'll 10
ride SIR Walter and Clayton was the Jockey on that
who was never dangerous. Mr. Keene's Beadonna
colt came in fourth.
The running in the Junior Champion stakes COM
petey INDICATED and justified the action Of F. a.
Ehret and Colonel Frederick c. McIewee in changing
jockeys In the Ehret stable. II the stable had been
put completely in the charge of Colonel McLewec
without advice and Interference from any one-if he
had been absolutely unchecked and not nterfered with
by any person. IL his word had been law in every
detail without suggestion modification from any
quarter-the Ehret stable would have won vastly
larger amounts-sc Of thousands more than II ac-
taly has won this year Every stable ought to have
ono absolute head. and only one. That head should
decide everything.
In the Champion Stakes, at mile and half Lamp
lighter and Montana were at 2 to each, with Poet
Scout third choice. Lampghter won the race in time
that cut the record-2 80 "a. BaUQuet, at long
onts,de price was second and Locohatchee miseraby

Was third. II Hamilton could have done fun justice
to this sleepy and sluggish colt Locohatchee he would
have won the Champion stakes. But Hamilton ap
peared 10 be suffering from serious weakness OF some
sort at the conclusion Of this race, and although Lamp
lighter was swervins badly 10 the final strides, Ham
ilton could not help Locohatchee at all in the emer
gency, and obtained third position only. Banquet

The withdrawal Of His Highness in the first rSce
caused much dissatisfaction. 1t was expected that
the Fiturity winner Of 1891 would give Kingston
severe contest and the desire was general and Keen
to see His Highness at III pounds meet Kingston

Russell ran against Kingston. 1t was practical
walkover for Kingston. 1t was expected that Iaml
