Fully 10000 persons went to Monmouth
Park yesterday afternoon and saw some very
good racing. there being no less than four
stake events on the card. It was a purely
holiday throng that occupied the huge grand
stand. A great many handsome women in
gorgeous summer " lent q charm to the
occasion by their presence.
The stake races were tho Paseaic, for all
ages. at three-quarters OF n mile. which M. +.
Dryers speedy old horse Kingston, the
favorite in tho betting. won hands down; the
Sapling. for two-year-olds. ut thrco-q quarters OF
a mile. which went to Frank A. Ehret's spank
ing big colt Don Alonzo in the most hollow
fashion: the Stevens. for three-year-olds. Mt
one mile and i've furlongs. for which tho
Morris colt Mars wns invincible. and the scud.
for oil ages. at five furlongs. which that speedy
horse Tormentor took into cump In very fast
time.

from tho Passato Stakes. which was the open
ing event OF the day. and the talent naturally
came to the conclusion that Kingston could
not be beaten. They eagerly took / to 2.

prevailing quotation. Tenny warmed up so
we'll that many took q chance on the swayhack
running into second place despite the fact
that the horse has bad legs and hos started
only a few times this year. In fact. he was
backed to beat Correction by the shrewdest
men at the course. Kingston was a wild horse.
and when tho fag dropped Taral let him take
the lead. All tho way home the ~favorlte ran
under q pull. with Correction and Sir Matthew
close up. and Tenny was beaten from the start.
Kingston won by two lengths, while Correc-
ton. under the whip. beat Sir Matthew O
length and a half for second money. Hamilton
whipped and spurred Tenny. but the old horse
had mono OF the great speed that two years
ago made him famous throughout America
The horse looked we'll bodily. and no did not
show any signs Of lameness after he finished.
The sapling promised to DO a sensational
race. but the withdrawal Of Sir Walter and
