Bay-Jockey Taral Won the Triple Event,
Brooklyn. Metropolitan, and Suburban.

NEW YORK, June 21.-Surburban day at the
COney Island Jockey Club track set In hot, bui
just as the horses went to the post a cool all
from the sea made the heat a trine more bear
able, although 1t was still too warm to move
about Tho attendance was by no means al
| great as the Brooklyn handicap day at Graves
end, but still there was uncomfortable crowd
In the betting ring there were enough people
to suit anybody. 1t was almost impossible to
| move about, and when some bookmaker hoisted
| little better odds than another on some favor
| lite animal the rush was irresistible. Hats were
lost, coats were torn, and tempers spoiled in the
| struggle, and scarcely anybody escaped the
| wild rushos The bookmakers were too few in
number for such day, and they could get all
the money they wanted to hold There was
plenty of money on the races before the Sub
| urban, but when the big race was announced
the plunge was terrific.
| TARAL THE GREAT HERO
When the trumpet sounded the horses came
out and made the usual parade with Henry Of
Navarro leading, followed by Sport, Kinglet,
Comanche, Banquet, Ramnpo.' Charade, King
Lee, Don Alonzo, st. Michael, Pickpocket bring
ing up the rear kicking and plunging. Sir
Walter was not in the parade, but folio wed the
others up to the post and getting the most ap-
| plause, as he was the only one who could be
sngied out Then came a long delay at the
post and finally they're or was heard, aud
they we're Only two minutes and six seconds
elapsed. and then Taral drove Ramapo in at
the head of the lot, with Banquet hanging on

ltwas a wise move OF Tarars to pay $500 for
the mount as II brought him in much more
money, for Gideon and DAILY are by no means
parsiInonious employers.
STARTER ROWE LOST HIS TEMPER
A quarter before 5 o'clock and the twelve
horses which were to contend for the valuable
prize were all at the post ut the end of the ch ute
waiting for the signal to be Of Several times
they broke away and one or two were left Once
there was a beautiful start spoiled by Doggett,
on Sir Walter, who did not break with the rest
Then ST. Michael began TO cut up badly and
would have nothing TO do with the others, kick
ing and plunginR about and trying to give his
contestants taste of his heels Bergen his
Jockey, refused TO go where he was sent by the
starter, and in consequence was set down for the
rest OF the meeting and fined s200. Comanche
was ugly, too and Martin refused to do as Rowe
told him, which cost him the same penalty as
was meted out to Bergen 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 a fine start with
kinglet in the lead, closely followed by Henry

Ramapo, Sir Walter and the others Past the
grand stand they flashed, with Griffin urging
kinglet 10 the utmost and with the positions OF
the others but slightly changed. The first quar-
ter was run in q seconds, and then kinglet had
the best Of 1t, while Banquet with all his weight
was taken into second place by Smms, only half
a length in front of Ramapo, on whom Tarul had
gentle pull The willy Dutchman could see
then that Banquet was the horse he had TO beat,
for he was length behind, with Picspocket
still a contender, and for a wonder he was not
sulking. The three-year-old of which so much
was expected dropped back into fifth place.
King Lee close behind and Sir Walter following
with Sport absolutely last, Thompson apparently
not being able to make him extend himself
KINaLET SET THE PACE.
The hah-mile post was passed by the flying
Kinglet in 50 I-5 seconds, but he was only three
parts Of a length in front of Banquet, and was
already hanging out signals of distress Ban
Quet was still half a length ahead Of the next
horse, but IL was Pickpocket who had changed
places with Ramapo, and looked exceedingly
dangerous Henry of Navarro was still fifth, but
could not get any further to the flying leaders
At the three-quarters Banquet passed the pole
first in l:l6 I-5, leading KiEglet by head, Simms
having made up his mind TO let out a link or
two kinglet was then two lengths ahead of
Pickpocket, who was still going strongly, he in
turn two lengths ahead of Henry of Navarre,
Taral having let the three-year-old pass him at
that point Sir Walter was running strongly in
sixth place. The time to the mile post was l:4l,
and Kinglet, under Grifins strong urging, had
got the first place by head from Banquet, but
it was The last effort of that badly tired horse
sport was beginning 10 show some life and
was up in eighth place, running strongly and
very much in the contest Pickpocket was still
third, but only head over Henry of Navarro,
he in turn being a neck in front OF Ramapo, on
whom Taral was beginning TO ride, Sir Walter
still running in sixth place Then came the
turn into the stretch, and Look at Sport" was
the cry, for Thompson took him around next the |
rail, and he was cutting down the others In a |
most remarkable fashion. Taral heard the
thunder of Sports heels close behind him, as
did Sims on Banquet, and they woke up to the
fact that the rogue was coming down the stretch |
like a thunderbolt, and was fighting like grim
death for at least part OF the money.
RAMAPo PADDED THE WINNER.
Kinglet quit Immediately and took no further
enough of it, too, and he dropped back without
murmur Sport was not alone in his rush, for |
the westerner, King Lee, was coming along,
parent that the finish would lie between RAM |
apo, Banquet, Sport, and King Lee Taral was |
riding for dear life, with Banquet still long |
distance in 'front.' but he gaining q few |
inches with every tuup, while Sport was hanging |
on altogether too well TO suit either Sims or |
Taral The three ran close together until the |
last fifty yards, when the persistent spurring |
and iogging of Taral gradually drove Ramapo's |
head in front Banquet's nose was beside him, |
and it was all over.
The game gelding was not equal to the en- |
ergency and he had to be content with a second |
place two lengths in front of Sport King Lee |
got fourth by four lengths from Henry of |
Navarro, who ran a game race, but was in too |
fast company for his weight Pickpocket was |
sixth, Sir Walter seventh. and the rest trailing /
behind. Some Of them pulled up
THE OTHER RACES.
The first was a great upset, for Correction ran |
away from Stonenell, winning by six lengths in |
SO 2-5 seconds, breaking the track record of |
O59 As made a year ago by Sirocco. The second |
race was for selling platers, and Rowe caught |
them at the first attempt for a beautiful start |
The finish was exciting, for Candelabra, Long |
Beach, and Melody crossed the line in that order |
only heads apart In the third race the young
sters got away in good order. and Maretti won
with ease.
The fourth race was also for maiden two-year-
oljs and The Buffer won with ease. Then came
the Suburban. The next race was for three |
year-olds at selling weights and Mr.. Jingle was
an odds on favorite, but Gideon and DAILY could
not carry of thee races in one day. and Mr..
Jingle had to be content with the third place,
while Chant won with Fnctotum second
