A storm OF stupendous proportions deluged
Monmouth county yesterday afternoon. work.
ing untold good to the crops. and converting
tho Monmouth Park course into river. There
was large and fashionable assomblage at the
big track. and very few Of the gay birds Of
fashion escaped with plumage unruf1ied. the
storm being at its height when the races were
over. Three OF the six races were run In the
mud. and very strong favorite was Upset
in the August Stakes whom MIR. Nathan
Strauss colt Sir Excess lowered the oolors
OF the Blemton representative JACK o.
Spades. The Comparative Stakes. ono OF Mr.
Withers's pet races. was poor apology Tor
horse race. Mr.. Marcus Days Sir Francis beat.
ing the Rancocas Stables Kilkenny. and
Brown Il Rogers's Afternoon very handiiy.
The racing was remarkable chiefly because
Ramspo. st. Leonards. and Sir Francis. three
Omnibus Stakes candidates ran in different
races. Sir Francis and Ramapo made many
friends, but the general verdict ia that st.
Leonards is not as high class as the public be-
lieyed the handsome colt to be. He doesn't
act game when it comes to pinch.
Jack OF Spades was always an odds on favor
ite for the August Stakes. but not a few OF
those who bot on the colt had their misgivings
about his ability to run in the mud. His sire.
Magnetizer. is By The Ill-Used. and tho get OF
the latter have always been notortously poor
performers over heavy tracks. Sir Excess.
with known fondness for mud. was most In
demand Of the others. Col. Peppers La Joya
and the Floischman colt. St. Maxim. fresh
from Saratoga. had slight following. but the
others had very few friends. Fred Taral had
the mount on Sir Excess. and whom tho
horse came near enough for the occu-
pants OF the grand stand to discover
them through the binding rain. 1t was
seen that Mr.. Strauss colt had comfortable
lead. As o matter OF fact. Sir Excess was
never headed. although closely pressed for
three furlongs by St Maxim. Jack OF Spades.
