Nayesink Purse Offered In Two Divisions Today Eight to Start in Each Half of Monmouth Park Main Event MONMOUTH PARK, Oceanport, N. J., June 24. The six-furlong Navesink Purse, an allowance test for three-year-olds, will be run in two divisions here tomorrow as co-features of a well balanced program. Sixteen good members of the local sprint colony were drawn for the ,000 event and eight will start in each section of the race, carded as the fifth and sixth contests on the program. Mrs. Andy Schuttingers Sewed Up, a good winner on opening day of the local meeting, may enjoy favoritism in the first division of the Navesink, with H. A. Goff s Quelle Belle, second in the same race, again likely to provide the chief contention. Another formidable member of the group is Carl Hanfords Boggin Bob, who finished third in the same contest. In their first raCe, Sewed Up and Quelle Belle each carried 115 pounds, while Bog-gin Bob shouldered 120. Under the conditions of tomorrows race Sewed Up and Quelle Belle each will carry 113 pounds, while Boggin Bob will take up 118. Rounding out the field of the first division feature is Easy Reeling, Mackies Pall, Leo L. Twirl, Girl and Bullsel. J. M. Roeblings Manipur looms the early choice in the second section of the Navesink, although under the conditions of the race the gray gelded son of Mahmoud Invoke, will have to shoulder 121 pounds. Arrayed against Manipur are such good sprinter rivals as I Did, Flake, Agilant, Hat Trick, War Scandal, The Shaker and Uncle Doc. Manipur has revealed a liking for the Monmouth Park track both in workouts and actual competition. The gelding turned in a corking effort last Thursday when he ran second to Twin Oaks Farms Glad Time while the latter was setting a new track record of 1:11 for six furlongs at this point. Manipur, carrying 122 pounds on that occasion, set the early pace, but permitted Glad Time to come on and catch him in the final eighth of a mile. That hard race may have sharpened Manipur for tomorrows engagement. Agilant, owned by the Win Sue Farm, was a good second behind Marys Dell in a race on Saturdays program, and may provide Manipur with his staunchest opposition. C. A. ONeil, Jr.s, I Did performed in the same race last week with Glad Time and Manipur and maj improve off that effort in which he finished fifth. Considerable interest is being manifest in Wednesdays five and one-half furlongs New Jersey Futurity, which will be the first futurity run in the Garden State in 53 years.
