RAMAPO WINS THE SUBURBAN.
New YORK, June 21.-The Suburban,
the last of the great handicaps, was de-
cided this afternoon at Sheepshead Bay
in the presence of more than 10000 per-
sons 1t was won by the 4.year-old
horse Ramapo, by Pontiac or Runy-
mede, dam Annie F., the property of
Messrs. Gideon & DAILY of this city,
with NJ. f. Dryers aged bay gelding

ton Stables chestnut colt. Sport,

record for the race, and is within second
and a fifth of the track record. Salvador
having run the mile quarter in 2,05 in
his memorable match with Tenny few
years ago.
Taral rode the winner, and in doing
so he reached the elimination of series
of triumphs the like of which has never
fallen to the lot of jockey in this
country. He rode DIR. Rice to victory in
the Brooklyn Handicap, and won both
the Metropolitan and Suburban with
Ramapo. Within half an hour after he
had left the saddle, and with the cheers
of thousands ringing in his ears, he was
on his way TO Chicago, where he will
ride Domino in the American Derby on
Saturday.
SPORT WAS BADLY RIDDEN.
The race gave general satisfaction to
"the talent" as the great mass OF fol-
lowers of the turf is best known, but
there were hundreds in the throng, who,
while conceding Ramapo's speed and
age, were still Of the opinion that Sport,
the third horse Mt the finish, should have
won. He was very badly handled
throughout the race by Thompson,
particularly in the final quarter, where
he ran from absolutely last place into
third position, and was then pocketed,
losing his chance for the prize through
the stupidity of his rider. There is no
doubt but that as the race was run,
Sport, with capable jockey, would
lave been as good us any horse at the
finish.
Nothing, however, can detract from
the performance of Ramapo, which was
absolutely brilliant. He was as plastic
as clay in the hands of Taral, and was
placed at will, never fighting for his
head, but running smoothly and gamely
in the front rank until tho head Of the
stretch was reached and when asked for
the supreme effort he sprang away and
fought with tiger-like ferocity a battle
to the death with Banquet all through
the homesiretch. The old gelding ran
marvellous race, but, try as he might, he
was no match for the 4-year-old, aud
Ramapo's head neck and shoulders were
clearly outlined as they passed the post.

OUR RATES OF INTEREST.

The rate of interest upon money loans
in this state is something extraordinary.
One per cent a month interest ia not
unusual, and in many instances that is
compounded. Two per cent month is
sometimes charged and even that rate is
compounded. The more common rate
is ten, or ten-and-a-half per cent; but
compromising the interest monthly. or
quarterly lie uniformly precticed by
money Lenders and bankers. To say that
interest without the compromising is
twice az high in this country as it ought
to be, is entirely within bounds. Five or
elk per cent is quite "a much as. any
ordinary business can stand. and any
thing above that is unreasonable and
usurious. Too high q rate of interest
upon loans is destructive of business
and highly prejudicisl to the welfare OF
the country. The average profit upon
capital invested IN ordinary pursuits 10
only about three per cent year, and it
can work no harm to anybody but veri-

certainly should be done, and as
speedily as possible. The present custo
mary high rate is working great harm
to the public and cannot be stopped too
coon. What this state needs above all
things in the way of legislation is a
stringent usury law. 1t would do more
to revive actual productive business
than anything else. Money, instead OF
lying idle in places OF deposit, waiting
for loan on good security at these kill
ing rates of interest, would seek employ
ment in the various lines OF industry
and do some good in the world. We
should then have fewer bsnke and more
factories; more producers of wealth aud
not 30 many mere absorbers OF wealth
created by others. If the people OF this
state know what they sic about, when
it comes to electing new legislature.
they will vote only for men who are
pledged to the support of good aud sats
usury law, such as other states Of this
Union enjoy. The attention OF the mem
bers of the last Legislature was called to
the necessity for such an act, but the
few money-lenders had more influence
with that body than all the other peuple
of the state combined. Honorable
gentlemen were stuffed with the shallow
arguments OF the Shylocks, and the in

JURIEs, of late, have come to the con-
clusion that an occasional conviction
subserves the purposes OF justice. There
have been several instances recently in
which hung juries," though they were
confidently expected, failed to material
ize, to the discontinue of criminals nd
the gentry who have ordinarily what is
known as pail" One of these cases
occurred In the east and the other in
California. One was in the instsn ce of
a wholesale poisoner, and the other was
where California tough thought he was
privileged to cut the throat OF courte-
san. 1t was John Wilkes who said that
the very worst use to which you could
put man was to hang him. In the
case of such Wholesale PRISONERS like
DR.. Meyers we doubt the wisdom of
this clever bon mot, although the jury in
his case seemed to have sympathized
with the sphorism, as they brought the
wretch in guilty of murder in the sec
ond degree, which means only imprison-
ment for life. DIR. Meyers seems to have
had strain of the Borgiss in his
blood.
