Details from the Other Racing
Centers of America.

New York, June 21-Suburban day
came in hot. but before the first race
was run, the breeze from the land died
out, and just as the horses went to
the post, a cool breeze from the sea
made the heat a trifle more bearaDle
although it was still too warm to move
about
The attendance, about 25,oOOO, was by
no means as great as on Brooklyn
handicap day, at Gravesend, but still
there was an uncomfortable crowd.
There was a long delay at the post
and finally they're off was heard. and
ehey were
Nearly two minutes and six seconds
elapsed and Taral drove Ramapo to the
head OF the lot, with Banquet hanging
on like grim death to his saddle skirts.
the crowd rushed to the jockey s. Id
and raral was carried off to his room
He was out of his silks in a few sec
onds, it seemed, and then before the
race had been over ten minutes was
out of the grounds on his way to
Chicago to ride Domino in the Ameri-
can derby. His face was wreathed in
smiles as he had won the triple event
and in good style.
A quarter before 5 o'clock the twelve
horses, which were to contend for the
valuable prize, were all at the post at
the end of the chute waiting for the
signal to be off. Several times they
I broke away and one of two were left.
Once there was a beautiful start spoiled
by Goggett on Sir Walter who did not
break with the rest.
Then st. Michael began to cut up
badly and would have nothing TO do
Ill,
about and trying to give his contest
ants a taste Of his heels.
Rowe got down to the track and tried
his luck from that point. In the Sec
ond break he caught them ali in mo-
ton and sent them away in a fine start
with Kinglet in the lead, closely fol-
lowed by Henry of Navarro, Pick
pocket. Banquet, Comanche, Ramapo,
Sir Walter and the others.
Past the grand stand they flashed
with Griffin urging kinglet to the ut
most and with the positions of the
others but slightly changed. The first
quarter was run in % seconds, and then
Kinglet had a length the best of it.,
while Banquet, with all of his weight,
was taken into second place by Simms
only half a length in front Of Ramapo,
on whom Taral had a gentle pull. The
willy Dutchman could see, then, that
Banquet was the horse he had to beat

like the pace, hot as it was. Half a
length behind him was Pickpocket,
still q contender, and for a wonder
he was not sul1y. The 3-year-old, of
which so much was expected, dropped
back into fifth place, kinglet close be-
hind and Sir Walter following with
Sport absolutely last, Thompson ap-
parently not being able to make him
extend himself. The half mile pole was
passed by the flying Kinglet in 80 Is
Eecond, but he was only three parts of
a length in front Of Banquet, and was
already hanging out signals of distress.
Banquet was full half a length ahead
Of the next horse. It WIS Pickpocket
who mad changed places with Ramapo
and hooked exceedingly dangerous.
Henry Of Navarro was still fifth, but
could not get any nearer to the flying
leaders. The others were changing
places like the glasses in a kaleidoscope
and in the mix-up Sport had got up
into tenth place.
AIT the tilree-quarter Banquet passed
the pole first in 1:16 1-5, leading King
let by a head, SiEnms having made Up
his mind to let out a length or Two.
Kinglet was then Two lengths ahead
of Pickpocket, wo was Sill going very
strongly, he, in turn, two lengths
ahead of Henry of Navarro, 1aral,
having let the 3-year-ol1 pass him at
, that point
y The time to the mile post was 1:41
and Kinglet, under Griffith's strong
urging, had got the first place by a
head from Banquet, but it was the
1a.1t effort OF a oadly-tired FLY.
Sport was beginning to show some
life. and was up in eighth place and
r, ming strongly and very much in the
race.
Pickpocbet was still third, but only
a head over Henry of Navarro. he in
Il l.
on whom Taral was beginning to ride.
Then came the turn into the stretch,
and Look at Sport was the cry, for
Thompson took dim around next TO the
rail and The was cutting down the 9TH
ers in A most remarkable fashion.
Taraa heard the thunder of Sports
heels close behind him as did Simms on
Banquet, and they woke up to the
fact that THE rogue was coming down
the stretch like a thunder-bolt, and
was fighting like grim death for at
least a part of the money.
Kinglet quit Immediately and took
no further interest in the contest.
Pickpocket had had enough Of it, also,
and he dropped back without a muir
muir. Sport was not alone in his rush.
for the weSteTner. King Lee, was COM
ing along, too, with lots of run ieft in
him. and it was apparent the finish
would lie between Ranapo, Banquet,
Sport and King Lee.
Taral was riding for dear life, with
Banquet still a. long distance in front,
but he was gaining a few inches at
every jump, while Sport was hanging
on altogether too well to suit either
Sirnrl5 or Taral. The three ran close TO-
gether until the last fifty yards, when
the persistent squirting and fiogging of
Taral gradually drove Ramapo's head
in front.
Banduet'e nose was beside him, and
l. was all over. The game gelding was
not equal % the emergency, and he
had 10 be content with second place.
two length in front of Sport King Lee
was fourth. four lengths in front of
Henry of Navarro, who ran a game
race but was in too fast company for
his weight.
Pickpocket was sixth, Sir Waiter
seventh and the rest trailing behind,
some Of them pulling up. Summaries:
