Optimistic View at Monmouth MONMOUTH PARK, Oceanport, N. J., June 26. Monmouth Park, with the first week of the summer meeting now history, is looking forward with optimism towards the coming six weeks, with closing day August 7. Although weather conditions cut seriously into mutuel play during the first six days, coupled with the Republican national convention and the Louis-Walcott heavyweight championship fight, attendance was actually improved over a year ago. With the summer season opening this week along the nearby shore, Monmouth Parks optimism does not seem misplaced.
