Of this historic classic that preceded

tering field But in the memory Of old
timers, some of whom had seen all the
Suburbans, few beat yesterdays run
ming for intensity of excitement all the
way. That thrilling duel through the
final sixteenth which vindicated the
excellence of Ensors horsemanship
over route was but the climax of
mile and a quarter Of thrills.
An Exacting Crowd
The big holiday crowd was of
proportion TO do justice to the occa
sion. And the occasion, so far as rae
ing excellence generally was concerned,
more than did justice to the crowd.
Only on Memorial Day had a greater
multitude of sport enthusiasts been
gathered at a New York track within
the past fifteen years. 1t was cos
n.opolitan crowd, it is true, but it was
a. exciting crowd also, and an appreci-
ative crowd which enjoyed to a degree
the well-fought trials and close fin
ishes Society WIS exceptionally we'll
represented on the clubhouse lawns
ana verandahs. Most everybody from
"Who Who anG environs was out in
state.
0y the time the field of eight sleek,
glossy colts and geldings pa
raded to the pest the sweating,
sweltering multitude WAS ready for the
best the royalty tred equhes had in
them. The preliminary races had been
highly satisfactory. The appetite OF
the crowd was whetted for the unusual
nor was that appetite to go unap
peased.
rhe sentiment of the crowd was
largely for Corn Tassel. TIE tive-year-
cd Wilson gelding was the best played

steady play and d bumper rush at the
very last minute hammered down Corn

soased from II to 5 to "A TO 5. though
the combination still ruled the fgura-
tive favorite al the start. War Cloud
Exterminator, Boniface, Papp and
Lanius ATTRACTED little or no attention
whatever.
Corn Tassel, which on his last pre-
yious start some ten days ago had
established new track record OF
l:44 2-5 for a mile and sixteenth
since beaten by Valor), was the Sc
lection Of the students of form and all
Of their friends. Needless to say, his
victory was cne Of the most popular in
years. He won first, because he is d
fine thoroughbred and as game as they
come, and secondly, because Of Ensor's
perfect ride. Furthermore, as the race
vas run, the luck broke for Corn Tassel
from start to finish.
Papp Good as Left
George ". Lofts Papp, which was
led to the post, was on his customary
misbehavior. He was as good as left
when the barrier was sprung. For the
rest, the start was good enough.
Myers. with Over There, of the Coe
Stable, went out from the start to set
killing pace. Knapp, with War
Cloud, followed this pace a. closely az
possible. McAtee. with Sweep On,
.railed the Macomber horse Ensor, with
Corn Tassel, and Lotus, with Lanius,
both wisely laid off this early grilling
pace, but picked spots that would give
them command when the real test came.
Around the bend Knapp moved up
On the leader with War Cloud, which

to come away when ready. Hitting the
stretch turn, War Cloud finally col

move, which eventually proved fatal
one. For swinging into the straight
