BLUES AS CONTRARY AS USUAL.
Shaw rode Blues. the poclroom horse. and his
mount acted as contrary as usual, wheeling
time and again, and betraying ardent desire
to get back TO the paddock. Herbert and Advance
Guard plodded stolidy along like the old cam
paigners they are. but Reina emulated Biuess
disorderly example. Bullnan had leg up on
Advance Guard. and the owners of that horse
made big mistake in not securing Burns. for
he is infinitely superior to Bullman as jockey,

The Suburban is bound 10 be a much more
truly run race than the Brooklyn, for it is
started in the straightaway. and not from the
lsrge end of a funnel as is the case in the cheap
and narrow track at Gravesend The eleven
racers, Mr.. Mackay's Trigger having wisely

comparatively little delay. Arden had the rail,
and next to him were Herbert. Advance Guard

the entire field shot forward like a troop OF

Arden. the lightweight and the long shot, was
the frst OF all to get into motion. For few
strides he led and that the end of him.
Cochran shot Contend along vigorously with
whip and spur. wonderly was almost as quick,
and little Redfern got PentecCst moving. too,

CONTEND LEADS AT FIRST.
Cochran let Contend have his head. and he
had secured the inside position and was a full
length in the van before the first turn had been
rounded Then Monograph appeared from the
middle division and headed Pentecost a neck.
while Gold Heels lay back just neck and just
a length before Arden Mr. Monahan's fast colt
seemed full Of running and there were many
who said. Il told you so. The lightweight is
going to last the distance Gold Heelss every
stride was watched by tens of thousands of eyes.

out of last place and Reina dropped back one
position. although the fault was not OCon-

weight was more than she liked.
The first thing TO strike the attention Of the
multi " the fine rush of Blues the
aeid neared the far turn. Shaw gave his mount
his head. and on the far outside the son of Sir
Dixon raced up from seventh place TO the lead.
1t was a dazzling fight of speed. and a roar of
anlazement went up from the grandstand, club
house. lawn and paddock. As Blues swung in
before Contend. the latter stopped suddenly

GOLD HEELS'S SUPREME EFFORT.
Inch by inch, however, he did draw away

The drive had its effect. Gold Heels seemed to
know that the time for the last effort had come.
