NEW YORK, June 2.-All sorts of
weather was the order of the day when
10000 people journeyed to Morris park
TO watch the running of the Metropoli-
tan handicap, the second great event of
the year. This time. however, the favor
lite won, and the many who had backed
Ramapo saw Fred Taral carried off in
the floral Jockeys chair, and cheered
him as heartily as they did couple of
weeks ago when On DIR. Rice he won the
Brooklyn.
During the day there had been alter
nate sunshine and rain, but the steady
rain did not commence until after the
great race had been run. The Metro
pOlitan was started in good time in spite
of the enormous fields which preceded
it, and after maneuvering for while.
the contestants got away 10 fair start
with DIR. Rice. Kiugler. Ramapo, Don
AlonZO and Henry OF Navarro in the
lead. Sport had acted well up to the
point, and then sulked bit and was
soon trailing behind his field. Herald
was in bad place, too. When the
quarter was reached. Kinglet was lead
ing by a length, with Ramapo. under
heavy pull, second, two lengths in front
of Herald, who had moved up and was 60
ing easily. The big hill was before them,
and in the next quarter of mile the
weight was beginning to tell on some of
them. although the only ones to change
were Don AlonZo and Henry of Ma
varre,
At the three-quarters mark Kinglet
had dropped out of the contest and was
in sixth place. while Ramapo assumed
the lead under gentle pull. two lengths
in front of Henry of Navarro, who had
come rushing to the front and was two
lengths in front of DR.. Rice, Don
Alonzo half length away and Herald
in the sixth place. Into the stretch they
came alta fine rate of speed for the heavy
track. Ramapo still held the lead, and
Taral was sending him along as fast as
he could, while Roche and Bassetlaw
were coming through like the wind. and
rapidly cutting all the others down.
There was no danger for the leader,
however. for the further he went the
better he seemed to run. and he finally
won by good two leugths, by no means
all out. Roche gained steadily on Henry
of Navarro, with Bassetlaw two lengths
away in fourth place. DR.. Rice was
way back in the ruck. not being able to
carry the weight allotted, in spite of the
fact that Garrison rode him. Sport was
not in the humor for running, and the
others were not in the race at all after
the stretch was reached.
1t was a pretty contest, and the best
horse won. to the great delight of Gid
con and Daily.
