KINLEY MACK VICTOR
Wins $4,000 Suburban Han
dicap at Sheepshead Bay.
1T WAS A GREAT RACE
ETHELBERT MAKES MARVELLOUS
BURST ON THE STRETCH.

| New York, June 16-With a good
track under him and fine sky above,
Kinley Mack, with McCue up. took
the $4,000 Suburban handicap away
from the great Ethelbert today at
Sheepshead Bay by a length and a half
Etheibert was punished hard all the
way through the stretch, with no bet
ter avail than second place, while Gul-
den ran in third and Imp and Jean
Bereaud trailed home in the ruck.
mere was an enormous crowd at the
track.
The horses went laundering down
the stretch for the first time with Imp
leading, Jean Bereaud in second place
kinley Mack third and Ethelbert
fourth, but dropping back and not
seeming to care for the position he had
drawn against the rail. Before they
had completed the lower turn Jean
BeraUd DOked his head IN front of Imp
and they were running as a pair
length in front of Kinley Mack, who
was IN turn a length to the better of
Gulden. The great Ethelbert was
slowly dropping back, and soon took
seventh position.
Beraud Increases Lead.
Inch by inch, foot by foot. Jean Be
raud slowly slipped away from the 9TH
ers, and when half a mile the pride of
the Whitney string had a length the
best of it, in 1917 seconds, and it sur
prlSed the crowd to see the fleet Ethel
bert way back in the ruck. Next to
Jean Beraud came the grand mare
imp, with a head advantage of Kin
ley Mack, the Brooklyn handicap win
ner, who was hanging on like grim
death, in spite of the fact that every
body thought he could run only in the
mud. Gulden was still in fourth place
and the others close UP.
Wonderful Burst by Ethelbert.
Coming down the stretch Kinley
Mack was swinging along in the least
DIT OF hurry. Jean Beraud was
spent completely and dropping back
towards the rear Imp was hanging
on to fourth place and to Ethelbert.
Like a whirlwind EtheIbert was coming
through the stretch. Maher was dig
ging in his heels in a frantic effort to
make up the immense amount of
ground he had lost during the first
mile of his journey. and the shouts of
announcement were roared at him
from the crowd. He was eating up
the ground in bounds as he seemed to
fairly fly through the stretch.
First Imp was met and passed as if
she was standing still.
Then there was Gulden to reckon,
and the 3-year-old looked as if he was
anchored, so fast did EtheIbert leave
him in the rear.
Now there was a furlong to go. and
the great crowd began to shout Ethel
bert" as if to help the gallant thor
ougbbred along
There was no use for Maher to spur
or fog him. The horse knew what was
wanted of him. AS if in resentment
of the pull on him during the early
part Of the race, he gathered himself
together, dug his toes into the yielding
earth and seemed fairly to crouch and
spring with each space-devouring
stride.
1t was heart-breaking to see that gal
liant thoroughbred, with fire in his eyes,
his red nostrils flaring, and his heart
beating hard with every stride, doing
his best to Overtake KinIey Mack.
But it was hopeless task.
Foot by foot he cut down the great
lead, but the distance was too short,
and as they rushed past the wire Kin
ley Mack was the victor by a length
and a half over Ethelbert, having run
the last quarter in % 3-5 seconds.
Ethelbert made marvellous race at
the last.
MaCue was hoisted into the floral
Jockeys RI air. and the vast crowd
cheered. and then a majority of the
people melted away like magic, for
most of them had come only for the
Suburban.
