Madden's Pentecost, the only three year old in the fiolil. was ninth in line. He j looked, a perfect picture of a thoroughbred, j Arthur Redfern was up on him and the cherry and w h ite colors sho\yed bright against the more somber hues of the horses before and behind him. Thomas Monahan's Contend was at Pente cost's heels and this greatly Improved horse looked trained to the hour. Cochran was up the son of Galore. Sadie S. was next dn line. W ilile Waldo had come on from the W est to ride the mare. East of all was Arden, the outsider in the betting, with Louis Smith in the saddle. ' ■ A t the Post. The parade continued to the sixteenth pole ■with all the horses acting decorously. Then they broke and galloped to the starting point. Arden had drawn the post position. Herbert ■vyas second te the rail with .Advance Guard 'next. Then came Contend. Pentecost, Reina, 'Watercure, Sadie S. Blues and Monograph, with the favorite for the race. Gold H e e ls,! ^Ve\s w e r r d is ^ o led of'during the after- on the extreme omsirle. All were as quiet [ “ ' ... were several thousand as lambs, e.xcepiing Blues, who is always aj \aHons swallowed bad actor at the post, and Pentecost, who . ^ and in the -woman’s res- refused to stand facing the barrier and J ^ winners held high carnival, fretted a bit under the restraint placed upon : c o r k s ’popped almost incessantly. The floor bf Pentecost, said in positive term s that he was confident that his horse ■was the best In the race, and that had he not been inter fered with at such a crucial point of the race victory would have been his lot Instead of second place. Uedtern also said that the interference cost him a victory, which would otherwise have been easily his. Shaw de nied that he was in any way responsible for the Interference, and suggested that the trouble was owing to Contend falling back so suddenly. Jockey Otto W onderly was elated but very modest concerning his victory. Ho said that Gold H eels w a s in hand all the way tor a m ile, and that when he drew his whip, at the head of the stretch, there was still a lot left in Gold H eels, %nd that he only wanted to keep him to his task. None of the other jockeys attempted to de cry the m erits of the horses that finished In front of them. Bullman said that he never could get Advance Guard going, and that, having to run around his horses and the very fast pace contributed to his poor showing. Cochran, in explaining Conlend's sudden stop, said that, while Blues crowded him somewhat, his horse was beaten at the time and absolutely refused to extend him self after being forced to relinquish the lead. Smith, who- rode Arden, tersely and tritely explained that horse's running -when he said \Outclassed” when asked how it was he was beaten so far. Odom was greatly disappointed with Her bert and could not explain his poor showing. Doggett said that W atercure found the pace too fhst; and that he never could get anyway near the leaders. . \Could not carry the -weight,” was O'Con nor’s only comment on Relna’s race. “Too fast for Monograph,” was the -way Shea sized up that horse’s defeat. Waldo, who had come a thousand miles to ride Sadie S., was so disgusted with that mare's showing that he refused to talk about It at ail. Malt Allen, the trainer of Gold H eels, was too much of a veteran at the game to be come very enthusiastic over the race. He was supremely confident that, with clear sailing, his horse would capture the prize, and was very well satisfied with the result. Tom W elch, though disappointed with the result, thought that Blues had run as good a race as he was capable of, and that Gold H eels was the best horse. Frank Farrell, the owner of Blues, had a very large bet on his horse and stood to win a big sum from the winter books had he been successful. As it was, he did not lose anything In wagers, as his third wagers protected him. Crowd W as H u n g ry and Tliirsty. It was a voracious and thirsty crowd that swarmed up to the many lunch counters and bars where liquid refreshments could be pur chased at the usual advance over city prices. Caterer- James Viliplgue was well supplied with eatables and drinkables, but before the dav was over his many refreshm ent booths looked as if they had been struck by a cyclone. Over twelve thousand ham, tongue, corn beef and chicken sandwiches and Uvo ,thou- hira. ,, There was but little delay, not more than a minute and a half, when Starter Fitzgerald, catching them all aligned and '' standing, pressed bis electric button. As the barrier flew up and the horses broke there, was a great roar from the assem b led multitude. The Suburban Handicap of 1902 was' on! The Start and Pace. The start was a fine one. Every horse seemed to move away in unison. Pentecost, Contend, Arden and Gold Heels were the first to get in full motion. Arden was immediately outrun by Pentecost and Contend. Cochran used the whip in his endeavor to got the latter' to the front. -Gold Heels gradually swung over to the rail from the outside, and he was third passing the judges’ stand. Contend and Pentecost were head and head. Reina was fourth, a length behind Gold Heels. Monograph fifth. Arden sixth, alongside of Blues. Sadie S. eighth, nd Herbert ninth, and those notor iously slow beginners. Watercure and Ad vance Guard, tenth and eleventh respectively. Rounding the club nouse turn. Cochran got Cemtedd lo the front, andiGold Heels assumed second position, the others holding the same positions relatively. ■ Once straightened out on the backslretch, the-' blue jacket and gold cap of Contend showed in the van by a length. O'Connor, was alm o s t afloat w ith the w ine th a t was spilled. M any, unable to find anything but standing room , and to avoid being jostled about, gained entrance to the re s t a u r a n t and rem a ined th e r e th r o u g h o u t- th e -vyhole a f t e r noon; 'coateni to h e a r th e story of how the races w e re ru n from the lips-, of those th a t came in to 't h e restau r a n t a l t e r each race. -After the running of the-Suburban it was alm o st im possible to get served in the res taurant and the waiters, finding difficulty in getting about, were in despair, Etery- one seemed to have money and every one seemed more than anxious to spend it..- Women of quality rubbed- shoulders with those of the half world . and seemed to enjoy the view of the spicy incidents that were continually cropping up. Occasionally there would be an argum ent, but it was al ways one of words and no blows-were struck. The winners were all hhppy and the losers forgot their losses under the cheering influ ences of the cup. Some sang. It is true also that some wept.

There is an exhilaration at tached to that day that the others seem to lack.

Those that did not have an escort found plenty of op portunity to back their opinions through the public com m issioners that wended their way with difficulty in and out of the crowded aisles of the spacious stand. The stand was jammed long before the hour of the first race. The lawn held a mass ! of humanity which struggled for points of i vantage to see the races run.

He seemed lo gather additional strength with every stride. Gradually, amid a very babel of cheers, objurgations and cries of every description from the vast crowd in the stands, on the lawns and in the infield, he closed the gap. Back to the stiniiilaUng influences of the catgut went AVoiiderly and Shaw. It has been gaid that neither of these hoys can ride a good finish, and that neither is an adept with the whip. Let that be forgotten. It Is calumny. They rode like perfect fiends. Gold H e e ls' Draivs Away.

Spontaneous com b u stion is thought to haA'e caused a fire which broke out am o n g a lot of baled ju te stored in a five story brick building, at W est and N o b le streets, about 5 o’clock last CA'cnlng.

If a m an dropped into a barber’s chair, the la t t e r Avorthy would sm ile, genially, w h isk his razor over a strop, and Inaugurate the conversation by announcing th a t he h a d it p r e tty stra ig h t t h a t “ B lues Avas due to w in.” If one stopped to subm it his footgear to the b r u s h e s of his favorite bootblack, th a t a r t i s t in m o n o chrom e would assum e a n air of m ingled benevolence and m y s tery and say th a t he had it from George Odom th a t the race w as “ a lready run and H e r b e r t was th e w inner.\ The ^ o r d inary salutation ail the m o rning was n'ot “H o w do you do?” but \W h o do you like?” The infection, a s usual, caught all classes, ages and sexes. For, if there is ever a tim e in the year when the thought of New Y o rk City is concentrated and turned in one d ir e c tion it is the day upon w h ich the Suburban H a n d icap is run. -As th e lOAverlng clouds converged in the m iddle of the m o rning and shut o u t the friendly face of th e sun, expressions of dis content arose on all sides. The th r e a ts of the AA'eather au thorities were not, hOAvever, enough to dam p e n the ardor of the intend- i.ng racegoers, who had made up th e ir m inds to see the n in e teen th running of the Suburb an, and did no t propose to be dissuaded by anything sh o r t of a tornado. The B u sh for Sheepsheaii. As noon drew near th e early birds, w ith a view to a com fortable trip, and th e first choice of seats in the grandstand, began the journey to Sheepshead Bay. and, before 1 o'clock every vehicle of any kind, w h ich w a s headed for a point anj'w h ere n e a r the grounds of the Coney Island Jockey Club, Avas packed Avlth people. Any one Avho secured a seat in the elevated o r surface cars could count him self o r herr self lucky. The g r e a t m a jority stood, cling ing to sw a y ing strap s , o r m a intained in an up r ig h t position by the elbows of th e ir neighbors. The only cause for self gratulation lay in the fact th a t the m e rcury m anifested an in clination to be sensible and rem a in m o d e r ately n e a r the earth , instead of soaring aloft, as it did on Brooklyn H a n d icap day. As the tim e for the first race drew near the tra i n s and trolley cars deposited th e ir burdens of eager hum a n ity at the gates of the grounds a t a faster ra te than they could be accom m o d a te d a t the ticket offices and turnstiles. The consequence was a conges tion a t the entrance and the form a tion of long lines of im p a tient men aw a iting their turns for an Interview with th e ticket A'enders. T h is w a s the opportunity of the ticket speculators, who SAvarmed outside of the gates like huge and A'ery troublesom e m o s quitoes. They w e n t up a n d down th e AA'aitlng lines, enjoining people “not to Avaste three dollars' Avorth of tim e to save fifty cen ts.” The Itin e r a n t venders of this, t h a t and the other thing, from antiquated peanuts to ra c ing w ires, w ere on hand, as usual, and did a th r iv in g business. The latter com m o d ity (tips) could be had for any price from 25 cents to $5. H u n d reds of them Avere sold and the p u r c h a s e r s generally h u r r ied to a re tired spot inside of the grounds, looked g u iltily around, and opened the tip s te r s ' m e ssages vvitli th e a i r of a m an delving into a prize package. Sheepshead Bay Never Looked Better. The b e a u tiful grounds of the Coney Island Jockey Club Avere never m o re a tt r a c t iv e to the eye th a n yesterday afternoon. The grove and law n , to th e re a r of th e club house and grand stan d Avere decked In th e i r rich e s t garb of d a r k green to g r e e t the A'isiting m u l titudes. F cav , hoAvever, paused to enjoy th e ir beauties. All w e re too In ten t on g e t ting through to Avhere the stage w as se t for the equine dram a . The grand stand was 'well filled an hour before the first race Avas called and by 2 o'clock It Avas jam m ed from end to end and from top to bottom w ith contented hum a n ity Availing fo r the th r e e curtain ra isers which preceded th e m a in event to be run off. The second t i e r of the grand stand and the boxes w e re equally thronged and th e roof seats w e re n o t to be had a t any price. It was w o rth AA’hlle to make the ascen t to this lofty vantage point in order to get a birdseye view of the law n In front of the grand stand, or, to speak m o re correctly, the crowd on th e lawn. It Avas hardly a crowd, for a crowd is sup posed to be composed of in teg r a l parts, w h ile th is assem b ly seemed to be one solid m a s s. It Avas alm o st Impossible a t tim e s to m ake progress in any direction. The fact th a t entrance to the grand stand Avas out of the question, the very sta i r s being thronged, caused m any of the fa ir e r sox to take up th e ir station on the law n . Some of them did n o t regard the'crow d ing and the unpleasant necessity of standing Avlth any degree of fortitude. One poor fellOAV who had been crushed up against a portly dam sel by the sw irl of the crowd Avas greeted Avlth a look of scorn and an audible rem a rk about “the Im p e rtinence of some people.\ He did not w ilt and slink aAAay. as he war, already Avllted and couldn’t get aw aj'.

They ivere eith e r black sm iths, prize fighters or retired foot ball players, and when th e y made up th e ir m inds to go nnyAA'here th e y went, and whoever Avas in th e ir way Avas A-ery ap t to go part of the way AvUh them . The rib crushing, however, m ade no differ ence to the race-m a d , gam b ling-crazy crowd. As soon ns a race had been run they w h irled and sw irled tow a rd th e ring, the w inners to collect th e ir coin, and the losers to scan the cards In an effort to re cuperate. M any a m a n who didn’t cash a b e t d u r in g ] th e whole afternoon assum e d a gay and de lighted expression, and started for the bet ting ring, a f t e r each race. In an effort to convince people around th a t he had been wise enough to pick th e rig h t one. A Great Day for the F a ir Sex. It Avas essentially a day for the display of m a rvelous creations in the way of sum mer^ toilets. H u n d reds of women, AA'ho didn't care a rap for the horses, or a fig for the racing, had bright hued filmy goAvns, fresh from the hands of th e m o d iste, which they were determ ined to have seen, regardless of w e a ther o r of the crush. The display was one to delight the eyes of Beau B rum m e l, If he could be resuscitated and could m ake allow a n ces for the change in fashions since the day w h en he Avas dictator of modes. In the congested condition of the grand stand It w as impossible for th e betting com m issioners, who usually g a th e r up the dollar bills from th e Avomen, to m a k e their way around, and, consequently, th e fair gam b lers Intrusted th e i r m oney to friends to be placed according to directions. One m aiden, \A-hose e s c o rt had laid a sm all bet for h e r on P o r t Royal, In the second race, learned w ith delight t h a t she had won, and inquired how m uch. \F ive dollars,” said her beam ing escort. “Oh, b e t ft again for me, Charley; b e t it again, b u t d o n 't lose H, for heaven's sake.” The m a le m em b e r of th e firm seemed, a little dubious about s igning a contract on the term s proposed. A n o ther young wom an tu r n e d amazed eyes upon her, friend when, as Gunfire flashed p a s t the Avlre, in the first race, he rem a rked, “he's w inning a ll by him s e lf.” “ W hy, how could he win any other way, F r a n k ? ” w a s her innocent yet sensible query.

As th e final call resounded and th e pro- oessloh filed through th e g a te for the parade to the sta r ti n g point, a fem inine voice called out: “ R ide hard, you R e d fern; I’m b e ttin g on you.” Then th e paddock assem b ly filed hack and joined th e thronging thousands who w ere struggling for vantage points from which to see th e race. The field inclosure, wit^b its commodious grand stand, w as crow d ed to its utm o s t llna- Its and the m inor rin g of price layers did a th r iv in g business. Eield Cro'wd Turned Loose.

There are very few who understand' what a powerful influence is exerted by; the stomacli over the nerves, heart and; brain. Yet, It is safe to say, that nine case.s out of ten of nervous jirostration, and ninety cases out of a hundred,. Avhere palpitation of the heart ensues, these troubles are entirely, due to a diseased stomach and not to any disease of the lieai’t or nerves themselves. The largest nerve in the whole body runs directly - from the stomach to the,', brain, and the stomach itself is only sep- ' arated from the heart by a very thin par tition. Let the stomach become inflamed or Irritated and this irritation is a t once transmitted to the nerve centers in the liead. W hen digestion is retarded, gas accumulates in tlie stomach, distends it, and, pressing against the heart, causes’ palpitation and that suffocating feeling which frightens a patient half to death- You can, by taking soda, pepsin and strong drugs, stop this feeling and steady- tbe nerves for the time being, but such remedies cannot perform the work of na-r ture, and it is only a question of tlmei when nervous prostration, brain disease, .and heart troubles become a n actual fact. The only possible w ay of curing 'dys pepsia, or any of its kindred diseases, is to heal the diseased digestive organs causing these troubles, - and to-day, Mi- o-NA, the new vegetable remedy. Is the only one Avhich will do this completely. M x - o - n a do'es not affect the food at all, but strengthens the digestive organs, forces the digestive fluids to flow in their natural abundance, and thus creates a perfect digestion. One day’s treatm ent of M i - o - ka will relieve all the disagreeable symptoms of the disease, and in a very short time the^ patient can digest and assimilate any thing fit for human food without distress;' Call and obtain a free sample of this' new cure.

The m e n were a ll a t t i r e d in th e re g u la tio n field serv - ' ice uniform , and looked as if th e y had un-f dergone a strenuous tim e a t Peekskill. Their^ khaki uniform s and k n a p s a c k s , w h ich p r o '' seated such a n a tt y sig h t on th e d e p a r tu r s . of the guardsm e n , had evidently done good service, and each uniform had its sh a r e of P e e k s k ill clay.
