The Monks Great Run.
The Monk had to carry ia pounds, but
he was a good bet at 10 to 1 at that. He
won from the last one-sixteenth pole af-
ter a hard drive. Chiffon Queen looked
good in the early running, but tired and
fell away back when the others made
their rum
In the one mile and one-sixteenth race
the colors. Of the Cassatt stables showed.
They were worn by Choirmaster of Ches-
Textbook, owned by Capt. E. B. Cassatt,
son Of the late A. J. Cassatt. The big
name the horse carried or the apprentice
jockey caused the horse, which is q son
Of The Bard, to finish last. Very little
money was placed on him. Wise players
put their coin on Superstition. and the
horse was backed down from 3 to to 8
to at post time.
Superstition let Joe Rose and then the
Spanish Prince set a pace. Then ''Old
Sup" as he Is Familiarity known. was
given his head and went to the front and

Bettors Had to Guess.
The Oriole handicap, at six furlongs,
was guessing proposition when Jack
Atkin was scratched. Charlie Eastman
had made such a clever try Saturday
against Jack Atkin when the latter
equaled the track record of Glib that
he got a following which made him an
equal choice with WOODLAND, while
Dreamer was the favorite. 1t was not
Dreamer's day. He was never factor
Takihira showed early speed, but was
loutgeneraled when challenged.
The junior steeplechase was not fast
but the jumping of the horses made the
| race a pretty one. Some of the young
sters cleared the jumps by what looked
to be two feet or more.
Many Liked oakhurst.
Oakhurst was thought to be the class,
but was not up to the race. Baltimoreans
paid especial attention to the running of
Magellan. This horse is owned by Rich
ard s. Garnett Of this city. He has start
ed In but three races this year. He proved
to be the best jumper of the good little
field. The consensus Of opinion was that
Magellan, who is son of Sir Dixon-Cre-
| morne, will prove a classic steepfer in
1910.
The mile and forty yard race was an
other one in which Baltimoreans were
greatly interested. 1t was won by Ros-
trunl. son OF Hastings-Lady Rosemary
and is owned by John F. Bartlett Of Bal

as were fortunate enough to find him

Bartlett believed he could win.
