JEROME PARK.
NEW YORK, August 20.-One OF the
features OF to-day's racing at jerome
Park was the victory of Arab, at even
money. and he won with ease from Jack
Rose in the second race. DogSett and
Sir Dixon closed about equal iaVorltrS'
and finished third and fourth, respectiv--
". Hailstone took the lead early In the
race and was never headed, although at
the end Nalkyrie came very last, ana
had her run been begun earlier she might
have had Il chance to win. As 1t wa
she showed great reversal OF FORM
from her asst race. The third race was
a good betting contest. even though Koche
was an odls-on faVorile. Merry Monarch
was fauciad next. with Bassetlaw third.
and Stonenallie the outsider. StOnenellie
led all the way to the stretch, and then
was overtalSan by Roche while Ba-set-
law finished a good third Merry Mon
arch was fourth.
In the 'ourth race there was one Of the
best whining finishes Of the meeting
Belvina was locked upon as safe 10 get
out Of the maiden class and she was well
backed. She seemed to have IL all her
own way TO the head Of the stretch, when
Littleheld got 10 work on Monotony'
and before poGgett knew il he was in
difficulties. apl In a terrific finish Mo-
notony won by half a length.
