\ EW YORK, June 14.-GOld Heels,
worthy son Of great sire. bore
to the front and CALAMITY held
there to the end the col0rs Of Me
Lewee and Brady and won the Sub
urban handicap today over the Coney
Island Jockey club course, stripping
two-ffths Of a second from the mark
set by the speediest of his predeces-
sors The time was 2:05 Is. It was
day Of records. Never on any Amer
lean course, to every part of which
an admission fee is charged, has such
a tremendous cOncOurse Of humanity
witnessed q struggle between thor
oughbred racers. Fully $4,000 persons
watched the Suburban from boxes and
grandstand. from trees. from roofs and
from lawn. from cheap field and from
the stable enclosure.
Gold Heels beat PentecOst a short
half length. Blues. Tammany's pride,
awoke when twO-thirds Of the distance
had been done. to the cheers of his
loyal adhercnts. But when the prize
was so close that il seemed within the
grasp OF Frank Farrells champion,
the battered PentecOst came from mis-
ill-deseryed place amid the ruck and
beat the four-year-old into pitiful sub
mission.
Gold Heels Through Stretch.
Gold Heels it was through the
stretch. Maybe Pentecost. having
made up five lengths in his effort TO
reach the leader. could have beaten
the son OF The Bard. but once he felt
a worthy rival at his side. Gold Heels
took on new life. He sprang ahead,
holding his advantage, short though
it was to the end.
Behind these three. Gold Heels. Pen
tecost and Blues, there was Sadie $.
fourth. lengths and lengths behind the
horses that win make turf history.
Herbert. too. still further back. with
Reina. lucky winner of the Brooklyn
handicap. Saddest Of all was Advance
Guard. Wen away from the post, he
dropped back and was lost before the
first turn was passed. Perhaps he did
not take kindly to pullman after
Burns j0ckeyship.
Gold Heels. of sixth. rushed ahead,
and when they first passed the wire
was neck and neck with Pentecost and
Contend. Closing in the back stretch,
Shaw on Blues, thought his chance
had come, and raced to the front. Con-
tend was still in the lead, but wise lit
tie Cochran was trying to save him
even then Blues dashed past Pente-
cost bunting him hard.
Pentecost Caught OF Balance.
Pentecost. a long striding horse. was
caught of his balance and sheered
heavily Into Contend. Then Contend
gave up the ghost and fell to the rear,
finishing absolutely last
But Blues dash had not been chal-
lenged. He shot past Gold Heels, and
soon there was a clear length OF day
light between them. Then came the
greatest cheer of the race. Tammany
SIN silk hats. Tammany I'm silk petit
coats Tammauv i'm brass buttons and
blue. Tammany in rusty apparel
Tammany roared from it's lUsty throat:
blues. Blues Biues,' But it was not
FOR Blues or Tammany. Cleveriy rated
close to the rail- WOnderly was bring
ing I'm Gold Heels. For a sixteenth OF
mile they were almost alone. But
Blues heart went faint, and well into
the stretch Gold Heels was overhaul
ing him. passing him. leading him
with the master Chieftainship.
Pertecost's Grand Struggle.
Then came that grand struggle of
Peutecost. Four lengths in the rear
was Madens horse when the leaders
turned into the stretch. but on he came,
gaining gaining at every stride. A
hundred yards from the finish he had
Blues beaten. and slowly he began TO
Green uD on Gold Heels But TO mean
foe met him there. Gold Heels spranE
forward again under WOnderly's urg-
ing and so they passed under the wire,
Gold Heels first by half a length. Pen
tecost q short length i'm front of Blues.
Never had there been such a betting
race. say Che bOOllmakers. There were
1e3 OF the regulars. I'm addition TO those
who accept bets of ST. At least $S00,00
was handled en- the ring on the Subur-
ban alone There had also been ire
nendous amount OF betting in the flu
ture books on this event.
Winner 8 to 1 Shot.
The final price against Gold Heels
was to / to win and even money for
places. Pentecost. 3 and .; Blues, S and

The horse that may carry American
turf. colOrs to the front in the English
Derby next year won the first half OF
she double event. He is Mexican, Clar-
ence Nackay's sterling colt, which
picked up top weight, 129 pounds. He
was admirably ridden by Burns and
won on the new Futurity course IN
ICES Is from a good field.
This straightaway course was slower
than the Suburban course, which eX-
perts said was at least a second pei
mile under its best. This brings Mex
lean close to Nasturtium's record last
year. 1903 1-5. and makes Gold Heels
race a marvel
