Stakes at Monmouth Park yesterday after
noon, tho Canadian bred colt oren ng n gap u
several lengths in tho first quarter OF mile
and then galoping far in advance OF his
opponents under an easy pull. The Optional
Stakes, a selling event for two year Odds, was
won by j. J. Shcridan's Aurelian after a whip
ping finish. with Burrdge Bros. Terrnrin.
The weather was perfect and the track in
superb condition.
The meeting OF Ajax and Sport had long
been looked forward to by tho racing public.
and oould Sir Walter have been starter there
would have been 10000 present. us the gen

hest colts Of their age racing In the East. by
the conditions OF the Tartan Stakes Ajax and
Comanche each carried 122 pounds to Rain

division OF the Sea and Sound sta es. had
to carry his stake weight. Ajax look

for his preliminary gallon. and looked
UP and down the stretch with an
almost human Intelligence. Then he tossed
his head and won't about his business.
| Sport seemed worn. ard did not move with his
usual vim, and the plain looking son Of Win
fred seemed very much too light to be at his
| best. Comancho was as full Of life as a boy out
for n holiday, while Eainbow he was the
same old Raiubow.and his clutch on last place.

and his prico went tumblinG until he
was quoted at 8 to 3 on. and little OF
that on tap. When the flag fell at tho
start Ajax left his opponents as though they
were snubbed to a post and. opening a gap OF
