The Metropolitan Handicap at Morris
Park Won by Ramapoo.


Norris Park Race Track, n. J., June 2.
This was Metropolitan handicap day at
the track here and fully 10000 persons
were on the immense lawn and in the
capaciolrs grand stand when the flag fell
for the first race The day was not an
ideal day for the races, for there was
every indication of a storm, but the crowd
was lagre nevertheless, and the bOokies
did rushing business, as the field in each
race was large.
Besides the Metropolitan handicap,
there was much interest conferred in the
race for the GailIiard stakes, the result
of which was a big surprise for the talent.
Counter Tenor was made the favorite
over Keenan,, who had a big cali over
Guttapercha. The race was won easily
by the last named, an to l shot.
THE HANDICAP.
The start in the race for the Metropoli-
tan handicap was good for all but Sport,
who was practically left at the post.
Kinglet-vent out 10 make the running
and showed the way up the hill and
across its brow TO the water tower, where
he Yielded to his stable companion, Rama
poo. At the turn into the stretch, Dog
gett sent Henry of Navarro up to the
leader, and Garrison called on DIR. Rice
the, Brooklyn handicap winner, but he
did not respond, even to the furious fog
ging the snapper" gave him. The in
terest then conferred on the three leaders.
RamapOO was going easy at the eighth
pole, but Roche was getting dangerously
near, and Taral cut loose. With a
few cuts Of the whip and a vicious
dig of the spurs RamapOo drew
away. Midgely went to the whip on
Roche, and though Doggett had dashed
Henry of Navarro, he could never reach
RamapOo, who won by a length and
half. Roche was two lengths in front of
Henry of Navarro.
The only favorite that won was Po-
chino, in the first race.
The results of the other races, with the
exception Of the sixth, played havoc with
the winnings Of the first and the talent
quit the day much disgruntled.
