STARTING SIXTH, KIS RUN IS A MARVEL Pentecost ond Blues, Tammany's Pride, Crowd the Winner, Who Finishes Only & H Length to the Good. NEW YORK, June 14.—Gold Heels, wor- thy son of a great sire, bore to the front and gallantly held them there to the end the colors of McElwee and Brady In the Sub- wurban handicap today over the Coney Is- land Jockey Club course, stripping the two- two-fitthe of a second on & track not at its pest, from the mark set by the speediest of bis predecessors, Alcedo, last year, as & victory for the great American sle turf. The time was 2:06 1-6. Courage and speed for the son of The Bard, Heels and Trio, favorite by a slight margin in the betting, and ridden in m terly tashion by young Wonderly, who first knew today the thrill of a brief ride in the floral horseshoe amid the wild plaudits of a half hundred thousand lovers of the sport of kings. It was a day of records. Never on any American course to every part of which an sdmission fee is charged had such a tremen- dous concourse of humanity witnessed a struggle between thoroughbred racers. Fully $0,000 persons watched the Suburban from boxes and grandstands, roofs, trees and Iswn; from cheap fleld and from the stable enclosure. Men who have seen every one of the eighteen Suburbans that oeded today's gazed In wonder at the ma of humanity. Luck Shields Tradition. Luck put down her finger and stopped & mew record. She sald no S-year-old sball ' shatter the tradition of the American turf's great event by wi her viotim, mayhap. Badly bunted at the far turn, he came through the stretch like tornado and ‘‘Pentecost,” “Gold Heels," shook the air as the two thoroughbreds whirled toward the goal, the older horse bolding the advantage by & short half length el Blues, Tammany's pride, awoke when two- thirds of the distance was done, to the cheers of his loyal adherents. His effort to beat to the front of the mi throng of horse aristocracy it was that fashed aside the youngster Pentecost. But when the prize was so close that it seemed within asp of Frank Farrell's cham- plon, Pentecost came from his place amid the ruck and beat the 4-year-old Into pititul was through the stretch. Ma be Pentecost, having made up five lengths la 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 om new life. He sprang ahead again, bolding his advantage, short though it was, te the end. Sadie § Fourth, Behind these three, Gold Heels, Pente- cost and Blues, there was Sadle §.—treach- prous, but game today—fourth, lengths and lengths behind the horses that will make turf history; Herbert, too, still farther pack, with Relna, lucky winner of the Brooklyn handicap. Baddest of all was Advance Guard. Ster- ling racer though he be, nature never fash- loned him to pluck the laurels from such as @Gold Heels and Pentecost. Well away from the post he dropped back and was last be- fore the first turn was reached. Perhaps he did it take kindly to Bullman after Burns' jockeyship. Advance Guard is no sulker, but he did not run at all today. Truly, he galloped over the canallle at the end, but he could not help doing that. And so the burban of 1902 was run and won. Gold H , off sixth, rushed ahead and when the first passed the wire wi meck and peck with Pentecost and Contend, This last record breaker and dark hor was the leader. His heart-breaking pace tended to discourage those that followed. To the jockeys of others it spelled ruln. Two of these were Wonderly and Redfern. Both fell back from the meteor that flashed in the lead of the suburban fleld. Thinks Blues n Winner, Close In the back stretch Shaw, on Blues, thought his chance had come and raced to the front. Contend was still in the lead, but wise little Cochran was trying to save him even then. Blues dashed in past Pen- tecost, bunting him hard. Pentecost, a long striding horse, was caught off his balance and sheered heavily into Oontend. Then Contend gave up the ghost and fell to the rear, finishing absolutely la: But Blues' @ash had not been challenged. He shot past Gold Heels and soon there was a clear length of daylight between them. Then came the greatest cheer of the race. Tammany o silk petticoats, Tammany in brass buttons and Tammany in silk ha and Blue Tammany in rustic apparel—Ta from its lusty throats, But it was not for Blues nor Tammany. Cleverly rated close to the rail Wonderly was bringlng In Gold Heels. For one-six- Acenth of a mile they were almost alome. But Blues' heart went faint and well into the stretch Gold Heels was overhauling Bim, passing him, leading him with the master chleftainship. Then came that grand struggle of Pentecost. Pentecoat Rushes to Fromt. Four lengths o the rear was Madden's Dorse when the leaders turned into the stretch, but on and on he came, gaining at avery stride. A hundred yards from the finish he had Blues beaten and slowly be began to crop on Gold Heels. Butggo mean foe met him there. Gold Heels sprang for- ward agaln under Wonderly's urging and ‘when they passed under the wire Gold Heels The kind that’s Right by & product of its Kind.

The horse that may earry American turf colors to the front in the Bnglish Derby next year, won the first half of the deuble event. He s Mexican, Clarance Mackay's sterling colt, which picked up to weight 129 pounds. He was admirably ridden by Burns and won on the new Futurity course in 1:06 1-5 trom a good fleld. This straight- away course was slower than the Suburban course, which experts sald was at least one second per mile under its best. This Mexican close to Nasturtium's rec- t y 1:04 1-5, and makes Gold race a marvel. John E. Madden bred Mexican, by Mirth- ful-Llandrino, and entered him for Eng- land’s blue ribbon. Mr. Mackay was in ccstacles after the race. “I did mot buy any fancy yearlings,” he eald, “but I bought proven racers, and I am getting my money's worth.” Record for Betting. Never has there been such a betting race, say the bookmakers. ‘There were 103 of the regulars, in addition to those who mecept bets of $1. At least $800,000 was handled in the ring on the Suburban alone. There bad also been a tremendous amount of bet- ting In the future booké on this event. The final price against Gold Heels was 3 to 1 to win and even money for a place; Pentecost, 5 and 2; Blues, § and 2; Herbert, 6 and 2, and Advance Guard 6 and 2. There whs much generous backing of Monograph, the hope of the west, who closed at 15 and ) Fitzgergld sent the field away in excel- lent style, with none of the eleven starters —Trigger having been “scratched—having any great advantage or dlsadvantage. The track had been redeemed from an inch of mud by hard work on the part of the super- intendent. Rain threatened all during the afternoon, but none fell, and & fine breeze cooled the crowds in the grandstand. General F. C. McElwee, one of Gold Heels' owners, is a prominent New Yorker, once a member of the governor's staff. Gold Heels was once owned by Willlam C. Whitney and later by the Sloans. He won races of merit last year, but no clas- sics. Gunfire, the Whitney filley, galloped home in the first race in the fast time of 1:13 -6, defeating the heavily backed and heavily weighted Canadian entry, Cobourg. Summary.

FOYE THE WINNER OF INITIAL GAME ment Foye Equals ty-Five Strokes ~Kimball Next with Eighty-Six. In Winning Tour The first handicap medal play tournament for the Cudahy cup brought out a great crowd of entries at the Country club Sat- urday afternoon, and W. J. Foye won the event by a wide margin, although he, with R. R. Kimball carried the heaviest handi- tap of any, only three strokes. In winning this tournament, too, Foye equaled the club record for the course, which was held by himself, 75 strokes. Foye made this last year, and it has never been beaten save by professionals. The Cudahy cup is a new honor at the club, this belng its first appearance in com- petition, given by E. A. Cudaby. It is to be played for five times, once a month for five months, and will then go to the man who bas won the largest number of the matches. This fact, d its handicap con- ditions of play, bave already made the trophy extremely popular, and Cudahy cup competitions will never lack for-a host of entries. There is something of & chance to win this prize, as it includes nome of the “‘win three times in succession to hold" conditions, which hem in some of the golfing honmors that are hung up for an incentive to victory. All Make Low Scores. The play, aside from that of Foye him- selt, was largely featureless yesterday. In fact, it was remarkable chiefly for the low scores that were made. Of the twenty- seven players in the contest, fourteen, just one more than half of them, played a gross score of 100 or over, and eleven of the remaining thirteen were above %0. Foye alone was below 80. R. R. Kimball made 86. The scores: cing, andun day of the race meet- number of spectators occupied e grandstand yesterday to watch the horses worked out.

STUDENT OFFICERS REVOLT Cadets at Wesleyan University Re- for Alleged Ilitreatment at Hands of Trustees. UNIVERSITY PLACE, Neb., Jume 14— (Special.)—The cadet officers appointed for next year In the Wesleyan univereity pre- sented their resignations in & body just betore the school year closed. This is due to an action of the board of trustees in their annual meeting. It 1s reported that one of the members of the board, whose san attends the univers- ity, objected to having him under the com- mand of cadet officers and succeeded in having the board do away with the drill requirements, making it voluntary, which amounts to killing the discipline and, in| fact, the military organization. It is said that several of the board, when asked what was done, could not tell, re- membering merely that some action was taken. Some profess to belleve that this member of the board hustled the motlon | through while the board was busy and | when unthinking they voted with the ma- | jority, or mot at all. Military work for the last year has been | & success, reaching its climax at the en- campment at Milford in May. The cadet officers have labored long and patiently and the department was coming to the tront rapidly. With the work merely voluntary on the part of the students there will be no incen- tive to begin the work at the first of the year, when it must start out briskly in order to work up enthusiasm along the line, Those who have been instrumental in bullding up the work are highly Indignant that the board should allow themselves to be led into tearing down the department without at least an attempt at an investi gation into the success and eficlency of the exercises. Hogue's band was out in full uniform and interspersed the exercises with music. There wer patriotic songs, two flag drills, one of young women under Cap- tain Horner; the other of little misses under the direction of Misses Horner and Krier. Both drills called out hearty applause. There Wi recitations by Mi: Maud Worthing and Lulu Sigror, addresses by Hon. Wil- llam Horner, Mayor Gillan, Hon. G. W. Fox, Hon. E. A. Cook; the Grand Army of the Republic was represented on the plat- form and short addresses were made by Comrades Judge Turton, Hou. Ferdinand Zimmer, Hon. T. L. Warrington. The ex- ercises were held under the auspices of Reno post, No. 112, Grand Army of the Republic, assisted by the Women's Relief corps, which attended in a body. A good shower early In the morning cooled the air, seftled the dust and added very much to the pleasure of the occasion. STRIKE COAL NEAR SURFACE ‘Well Borers Penetrate Good Vein at Depth of Forty Feet Near Jamestown. FREMONT, Neb, June 14.—(Special.)— Another vein of coal has been found at Jamestown in digging a 1l. This one is on the farm of Seneca Hager, a mile and & half south of the Remmele place, where a coal stratum was reached about a couple of months ago. \ The vein on the Hager place is oaly forty feet below the surface and s fifty-two inches deep. The well diggers struck rock at the depth of about twenty feet and from there down used a rock drill. The rock, which was a hard, dark slate formation, contained small streaks or seams of coa! At & depth of forty feet clear coal was struck free from rock or'slate and ap- parently in a distinct vein. On account of large sized drill being used much larger pleces were taken out than in the Remmele well, many of them being half as large as hen's eggs. It Is a fair quality of soft bituminous coal and air slacks quickly. There is no question about there being coal at Jamestown, but whether It exists in sufficlent quantity and of a fair quality have not yet been determined. The expense of sinking down to the vein on the Hager place will be light and a shaft is likely to be put in, ’ WRIGHT SUCCEEDS FILSON Presbyterian Divine Elected to Presi- dency of Hastings College Made Vacant by Res tion.
