PHILLIPS Staff Correspondent MONMOUTH PARK, Oceanport, N. J., June 23. — Jockey Jimmy Stout, smartly rating Bessies Beau far back of the hard-pushed leaders, came rolling from next to last in the field of seven in the stretch run and got the filly up to capture todays featured Attention Purse by three-quarters of a length. The Mrs. H. Gilmore Young-owned sophomore daughter of Ja-copo — Bess B. put away W. M. Wickhams Wise Idea in the concluding strides of the mile and a sixteenth event, with C. V. Whitneys Turks Cap holding on after a prolonged drive to be another half-length behind and third. Bessies Beau was made a slight favorite, due to the presence of Stout in the saddle and known ability of Bessies Beau to handle a sloppy course. The strip today was an oval field of water, replenished through intermittent rains throughout the afternoon. This was the third victory of the season for Bessies Beau, all scored over watery tracks, and she paid .60. The time was a creditable 1:48 Vs. The officers of the Monmouth Park Jockey Club must have been well pleased as the turnstiles registered 11,040, which maintained the steady gains that have been shown over last year, despite the fact that the cold and rain made this the nastiest afternoon of the meeting.
