over the fawn colored Gold Heels when Won

winner. and the jockey got another greeting
when he sat in the floral horseshoe. The time
for the race was 205 Is which is faster than
q Suburban ever before. There is no
doubt that the Sheepshead track is faster under
normal conditions than ever before but 1t was

trusting that the colt would have speed enough
to come and stand off the challenge of the
raters when the light weights had shot their
bolts. This programme was lived up to exactly
hoped. General McLewee said that his colt
could have the first mile in 1:3S if 1t had
been necessary He expressed regret that
Natercolor did not start, and declared his con-
fdence in the ability Of Gold Heels to beat the
Watercress flyer at even weights at any dis
tance and under any conditions. 1t must be
admitted that he has ground for his faith
Gold Heels bred by A. ]. Cassatt presi-
dent Of the Pennsylvania Railroad who was
when two-year-old to Mr. Whitney. who sold
him to Dave" Sloan a cousin of Tod Sloan
When Sloan got into pecuniary difficulties he
sold Gold Heels to General McI1ewee for 81. 500.
General McLewee managed the celebrated Ehret
stable in the early nineties, and under his man
agement and the training of Matt Allen. who
prepared Gold Heels for yesterdays race the
stable won in one season in stakes and purses
$4,000 and in another season over S900o0
The famous horses Don Alonzo. Dobbins and
Yorkville Belle belonged to the stable, and when
1t was broken up Don Alonzo sold for $4,000,
Yorkvle Belle for S24. .GO0 and Dobbins for
S21 600, Richard Croker being the purchaser of
the last named horse. After yesterdays race
It is doubtful if $4,000 would buy Gold Heels
It is estimated that not far from $500 900 was
wa gered on Gold Heels. and if that estimate is
not too large the public took 81 100000 out of
the ring by the well earned victory of the SON
of The Bard.
