RACING AT MONMOUTH PARK.
SLEIPNER FIRST IN A MILE RACE.
LoNGsTREET. KINGSTON AND sroNENELI
BEATEN.


Monmouth Park. distance one mlle the straight
course Eight horses ran. Stonenell Sleipner Ajax
yestibule, Merry Monarch and Reckon all well
supported. Ajax and Merry Monarch the
favorites. The close throughout and the
finish furnished some excitement OvertOn rode with
more energy. skill and judgment than he had dis
played on previous occasions in the East,
and his mount, Sleipner succeeded In winning bv
A half length with Vesbule, Ajax. Merry Monarch,
Btzen and Stonenell heads and necks apart. Sloane
used poor judgment in riding Ajax. Lambey hardly
did full justice 10 SOnene who carried 1913 pounds.
1t not cheerful day for the NJ. F. Dwyer
stable both Kingston and stonenell were beaten.
Old Raceland made amends and exhibited
wonderfully swift improvement by winning the third
race in gallOp. Only few days ago he was as
slow crab. He stoutlv supported In the
rng by somebody. presumably Mr.. Dwyer and at
liberal price. going to the post at TO 8. Mr.
Croker did see Longstreet easily beaten by
Roller In the last race, he was NOT at the track
Longstreet lame after the race.
Frt was regarded q certainty In the fifth race
and the betting against her was 10 s. Clementina,
however. came within two or three inches OF oea'ing
her and many shrewd judges thought that If Sloane
had been overconfdent and careless Mr. Ruppert's
fly would have 1t is possible. But Cementina
swerved at the finish. and Sloane could not use his
whip freely.
Wah Jim is a fast horse. but he is uncertain. At
IL TO / he captured the first in impressive STYLE
fastest time for that distance ever made at Monmouth
This race was In very queer contrast with some OF
Wah Jim's previous this year Kingston, nd
den out. second, and Derfargilla was third.
Cactus took the second race. for which he was the
favOrite. No bid
A light rain fell before the first race Just enough
TO settle the dust. The attendance was very nght
and the booknakers beat their breasts and walled
and lamented because dupes and victims were few
and far between. and the heeces Of the scanty mock
OF gging lambs thin that they were hardly
worth sIearing Financial strngency is felt keenly
everywhere but the methods practsed at Monmouth
Park have made it even more severe there than else
where. Perhaps the managers Of Monmouth may
think II advisable ere long 10 start ioeIy craving
give more life ana animation TO gambling In mat
arena, aud TO make sure that no innocent man escapes
