:" Chicago for the American Derby.
NEW YORK, June 22.-Suburban day at
the Coney Island Jockey club track set in
hot, but before the first race cool air
from the sea made the heat tritie more
bearable, although it was still too warm
to move about. The attendance was by
no means as great as on Brooklyn handi-
cap day at Gravesend, but still there was
an uncomfortable crowd When the great
race was started there was no such crowds
of spectators covering the lawn as on the
| first day of the racing season. In the bet
ting ring, however, it was almost impos-
sible to move about, and when some book
maker hoisted a little better odds than
another on some favorite animal the rush
was irresistible, Hats were lost, coats
were torn and tempers spoiled in the
struggle, and scarcely anybody escaped
the wild rushes.
1t was great day for the Coney Island
/ Jockey club, and not less than 25, 1000 peo
pie We're present to enjoy the sport All
went home happy, for the favorite had
won the Suburban. 1t was wise move
of Taral's to pay $500 for the mount as it
! brought him in much more money, for
| Gideon and Daily are by no means parsi-
|
minious owners.
! When the trumpet sounded for the Sub
urban the horses came out and made the
usual parade, with Henry of Navarro lead
ing, followed by Sport, Kinglet, Com
anche, Banquet, RamapO, Charade, King
I Lee, Don Alonzo, St Michael and Pick
pocket bringing up the rear kicking and
plunging Sir Walter was not in the pa
rade, but followed the others up to the
post and getting the most applause, as he
was the only one who could be singled
out.
At quarter before o'clock the twelve
| horses which were to contend for the val
liable prize were all at the post. Several
times they broke away and one or two
were left. Finally Starter Rowe got down
on the ground and tried his luck from
that point. In the second break he caught
them all in motion and sent them away
to fine start, with Kinglet leading, fol-
lowed by Henry of Navarro, Pickpocket,
Banquet, Comanche, Ramapo, Sir Wal
ter and the others.
The first quarter was run in twenty-five
seconds, and then Kinglet had length
the best of it, while Banqdet with all of
his weight, was taken into second place
by Simms only half length in front of
Ramapo, on whom Taral had a gentle
pull. Half length behind Ramapo was
Pickpocket, but Henry of Navarro, the s.
year-old of which so much was expected,
dropped back into fifth place.
The half mile pole was passed by the fly
ing Kinglet in so 1-5 secs, but he was only
three parts of a length in front of Ban
quet. Banquet was still half a length
ahead of the next horse, but it was Pick
pocket who had changed places with Ram
: apo, and looked exceedingly dangerous,
Henry of Navarro was still fifth, but
could not get any nearer to the flying
leaders.
At the three-quarters Banquet passed
the pole first in 1.161-5, leading Kinglet
by a head. Kinglet was then two
lengths ahead of Pickpocket, who was
still going strongly, he in turn two
lengths ahead of Henry of Navarro, Taral
having let the 9-year-old pass him at the
| point. Sir Walter was running strongly
in the sixth place. The time to the mile
post was 1.41, and Kinglet, under Grit
fms strong urging, had got the first place
by head from Banquet, but it was the
last effort of that badly tired horse Pick
pocket was still there, but by only head
I ! over Henry of Navarro, he in turn being
neck in front of Ramapo, Sir Walter still
running in the sixth place, and Sport was
eighth
Then came the turn into the stretch
A and Look at Sport was the cry, fol
Thompson took him around next to tn,
rail and he was cutting down the Others
4 in a most remarkable fashion. Tara
heard the thunder of Sports heels clos,
3 behind him, as did Simms on Banquet
and they woke up to the fact that IN,
b rogue was coming down the stretch like
] thunderbolt, and was fighting like grin
4 death for at least part Of the money
Kinglet quit Immediately, and took NJ
further interest in the contest. Pickpocke
had had enough of it, too, and he dropped
y back without a murmur Sport was no
- alone in his rush for the westerner. Kns
Lee was coming along, too, and it was ap
parent that the finish would lay betweel
Ramapo, Banquet, Sport and King Lee
Taral was riding Ramapo for dear life
with Banquet still a long distance il
front, but he was gaining few inche
with every jump, while Sport was hang
ing on altogether too well to suit eithe
Simms or Taral.
The three ran close together until tn
last fifty yards when the persistent spur
/. ring and flogging of raral gradually drov
>! Ramapo's head in front Banquet's nos
q was beside him and it was all over. Tn
h game gelding was not equal to the emerg
ll55 ency, and he had to be content with sec
y ond place, two lengths in front of Sport
u \ King Lee got fourth by four lengths fror
e Henry of Navarro, who ran a game race
Il but was in too fast company for hi
weight. PickpOcket was sixth, Sir Wa
\ ter seventh and the rest trailing behind
some of them pulled up.
The mile and a quarter was made b
Ramapo in 2.06 l-5.
After the race Taral left at once fo
