MONMOUTH PARK RACE TRACK, July
16.-By placing Hammie first, Cactus sec
ond and Tom Watson third after the fifth
race this afternoon the judges manufactured
a sensation that will for wears to come be
cited as an instance of carelessness on the
part of the Monmouth Park racing judges.
Tom Watson flashed by Hammie and Cactus
three strides from the line and beat them
scant length. His victory was so decisive
that the judges have absolutely no ground
for argument. There was no demonstra-
tion, Tom Watson being 80 to l shot.
Taral outrode Murphy at the finish for the
Tyro stakes and landed Lovelace. II to 1
chance, first by head from Don Alonzo,
the to favorite Raceland, to 5. won
the Midsummer handicap in clever style
from Russell, second choice at ID to 5.

mile in 1:4OA. This was beaten in the last
race, the BilIow stakes, by Sleipner, who
carried 1913 pounds, and covered the same
amount of ground in 1:4O fat. Ha' Penny,
