and downcast sufferers from the daily Monmouth
Park habit have dozen more days OF misery
and anguish before them, unless the MANAGERS
abandon their merciiess plan of racing SIX DAYS
In the week until the appalling sequence Oh

pretensons high class in this or any othef
country ever attempted to race forty-six days IN
succession excepting Sundays before. Under the
Ives Pool act no racing association in this State
can give more than thirty days of racing win
betting In a year. This is wise. judicious and
proper limitation. Moreover. the clubs In TINS
State divide their thirty days in such way that
about half OF them used for racing In the

The finish for the Optional Stakes was q close
one 1t was plainly due to Tarals fine jockeyship
that Aurelian won the race. At the end OF half
mile the colt looked hopelessly beaten, but Taral
never despars. and he continued to persevere,
with good results, as the colt responded for all
that was in him, and by head. Aurelian
ran in the name and coors OF j. j. Sheridan. He
is owned by Albert Cooper the well-known coored
trainer. who purchased him few years ago.
The Raritan Stakes brought surprise, not in the
fact that Ajax the winner, for he was equal
favorite with Sport, but because Of the hollow
manner in which the victory was earned. 1t was
hoped that the two would make good race. but
Ajax romped the entire journey. Even Sir Walter
would have had a hard time beating him yes
