now GEN. MONROE WOW
AFTER a GREAT RIDE

American turfmen at home and
abroad were much interested in the
cablegram from England announcing
the success of Mrs. Langtry's 3-year-
old colt Aurim in the $4,000 Prince
Edward stakes at Manchester, for the
winner, by the Australian-bred horse
Aurim, Is trained by the former Amer

temporary OF Mclaughlin, Garrison,
Isaac Murphy and Hayward, when
these famous riders were at the ze-
NTH OF their career quarter OF a

doing yeoman service in the saddle far
above the average American jockey of
today.
OF all these skillful knights of the
pigskin. William Donohue's record was
one that earned him prominent place
In the history of American race riders.
His ability to ride at a light weight
50 and SO pounds-for years after his
fellows had grown heavy, caused his
services to be much in demand and
1t was only natural that Walter Rol-
Inns selected him to ride General Mon
roe in the inaugural race for Sleeps
head Bays great event-the Suburb
an.
So we'll did Monroe show in his work
at Jerome park that he was made ia
vorite in the future books made on
the three handicaps run at the June
meeting-the Fordham, Metropolitan
and Westchester handicaps. He did
not start in the first event, but won
both of the others in great style. The
Metropolitan, mile and a half, he
won from six others, carrying 119
pounds, and in the Westchester, a mile
and three furlongs, he took up 1872
pounds and spreadeagled the field in
hollow fashion.
In each of these races at Jerome.
Monroe was ridden by billie" DON
ohue in the highest style OF the art,
and while the little jockey carried
from twenty to twenty-five pounds of
dead" weight, he handled the big
heavy-headed son of Tom Bowling as
we'll as a welterweight could have
done.
Eve Of Great Race.
So Monroe. on the eve of the great
race at Sheepshead came to the bay
with credentials second to none in the
long list OF entries to the first Sub
urban-seventy-four in all. For three
months betting had been going on in
the future books with George Kinney,
Barnes and Pizarro all favorites over
General Monroe. But the latter's
great form at Jerome brought him
heavy support from the public.
Three days elapsed that year be-
tween the closing day at Jerome park
and the opening at Sheepshead Bay.
Jerome closed on Saturday, the 7th of
June, and on the same day Brighton
Beach raced against the Fordham
track, large crowds attending both
courses. On the meet, Monday the 9th,
the Brighton went on with it's meeting
only to close the following day on ac-
count of the opening at Sheepshead.
OF the seventy-four entries for the
first Suburban, no less than twenty
came to the post Designed by its
Trainer. the late j. G. X. Lawrence,

club, as prototype of the city and
suburban. England's great spring
event, the new event met with instant
recognition from turfmen and the flow
er Of the eastern stables was engaged.
with a sprinkling from the western
stables as we'll.
The crowd at the bay that balmy
June afternoon was large one. The
Empire city emptied out its thousands,
and turfmen from all sections were on
hand to assist at the inaugural of the
great event. There were 40 layers
IN the ring, all solid operators, while
auction pools, under the management
OF Robert Cathhart and mutual pools
by Kelly and Bliss, furnished three
different methods of business.
After the California horse, Jim Reu-
nick. had beaten Little Minch for the
opening sprint at six furlongs, the
Dryers great mare, Miss Wolford,
won mile and half dash in hollow
style. Then w. L. Scots 2-year-old
colt Florio galloped away with the
Foam stakes from Pierre Lorillard's
peerless Mortemer filly, Wanda, and
twelve others.
BY this time the Suburban starters
were in the paddock, and as the great
race was rung up the betting ring
filled instantly with an excited throng
all eager to get the best price against
the horses of their choice As the
odds were posted layers were almost
mobbed, and in a few minutes the ring
became seething mass OF humanity.
In Betting Ring.
hn
DAY had a board floor, which the
wear and tear OF thousands Of feet
converted into many seams and wide
cracks. Into these crevises money
would drop from the surging
betters in their haste, bills and coins
OF all sorts. When racing was over,
the ring sweepers found considerable
treasure trove" in these cracks and
crevises, and at the end of the meet
ing more would be discovered as the
floor would be taken up during re-
pairs
AS is generally the case in big ham
dtcaps, the top weights monopolized
public attention. The Dryers started
two-George Kinney, 1872 pounds, and
Barnes, 131, with Mclaughlin on the
former and Fitzpatrick on the latter.
Kinney had started only once before
that season at Jerome, where he won
an easy race, but Barnes had not vet
been out in public. Both were trained
to the hour by Jimmy" Rowe and
coupled were favorites for the great
race at to g.

spring either, but his preparation at
Rancocas had shown the imported son

and he carried big commission from
Pierre Lorillard. Jack of Hearts had
won a good race at Jerome park with

A. j. Cassatt, president of the Penn
