STARTING SIXTH, HIS RUN IS A MARVEL Pentecost and Dines, Tammany's Pride, Crowd the Winner, Who Flnl.hr Only m Half Lragth to the Good. NEW .YORK, June 14. Gold Heels, wor thy on of a great lire, bore to the front and gallantly held them there to the end the colore of McElwee and Brady In the Sub urban handicap today oyer the Coney Ii land Jockey Club course, stripping the two-two-Aftha of a second on a track not at Its beet, from the mark eet by the epeedlett ef hie predeceeeori, Alcedo, lait year, a a victory for the great American classle turf. The time waa 3:06 1-6. Courage and speed for the eon of The Bard, Heele and Trio, favorite by a slight margin In the betting, and ridden In mas lerly fashion by young Wonderly, who Brat knew today the thrill of a brief ride la the floral horseshoe amid the wild plaudits of a half hundred thousand lovers et the sport of kings. It was a day of records. Never on any American course to every part of which aa admission fee is charged had such a tremen dous concourse of humanity witnessed a Struggle between thoroughbred racers. Fully 10,000 persons watched the Suburban from boxes and grandstands, roofs, trees and lawn; from cheap field and from the Stable encloeure. Men who have aeen every ana of the eighteen 8uburbana that pre sided today's gated In wonder at the masses et humanity. Lack Shields Tradition. Luck put down her finger and stopped a ew record. She eaid no 8-year-old shall hatter the tradition of the American turf's great event by wtnnalng It. Pentecoet was bet vlotlm, mayhap. Badly bunted at the far turn, he came through the stretch like a tornado and "Pentecoet," "Oold Heels," shook the air as the two thoroughbreds whirled toward the goal, the older horse holding the advantage by a short halt length at the end. Blues, Tammany's pride, awoka when two thirds of the distance was done, to the cheers of hla loyal adherents. His sturdy effort to beat to the front of the masterful throng of horse aristocracy it was that lashed aside the youngster Pentecost. But when the prise was so close that it seemed within the graap of Frank Farrell'a cham pion, Pentecost came from his plsce amid the ruck and beat the 4-year-old Into pitiful lubmlsslon. Oold Heels waa through the stretch. May be Pentecost, having made up five lengtbe la hla effort to reach the leader, could have beaten the son of The Bard, but once he felt a worthy rival at his side Oold Heels took on nsw life. He sprang ahsad again, holding hla advantage, short though It was, la the end. adla Fonrth. Behind these three, Oold Heels. Pente eoat and Blues, there was Sadie S. treach erous, but game today fourth, lengths and length behind the horses that will make turf history; Herbert, too, still farther back, with Relna, lucky winner of the Brooklyn handicap. Saddest of all waa Advance Guard. Ster ling racer though he be, nature never fash ioned him to pluck the laurel from such as Bold Heel and Pentecost. Well away from th post he dropped back and was last be fore the first turn was reached. Perhaps he did not take kindly to Bullman after Bum' Jockeyshlp. Advance Guard la no aulker, but be did not run at all today. Truly, he galloped over the canaille at the and, but he could not help doing that. And eo the suburban of 1902 waa run and won. Gold Heels, off sixth, rushed ahead and when the first passed the wire waa neck and sack with Pentecost and Contend. Thia last record breaker and dark horse waa the leader. Hi heart-breaking pace tended to discourage those that followed. To the jockey of other It spelled ruin. - Two of these were Wonderly and Redfern. Both tell back from the meteor that flatbed la the lead of th suburban field. . Thinks Bines a, Wlanor. Close In the back stretch Shaw, on Blues, thought hla chance had come and raced to the front. Contend waa still In the lesd, but wise little Cochran waa trying to save him even then. Bluea dashed In paat Pen tecost, bunting him hard. Pentecost, a long (trldtng horae, was caught off hla balanoe and aheered heavily Into Contend. Then Contend gave up the ghost and fell to the rear, finishing absolutely last. But Blues' dash had not been challenged. Be shot paat Gold Heels and aoon there wae a clear 'length of daylight between them. Then came th greateet cheer of the race. Tammany in silk petticoats, Tammany In braes buttons and Tammany In silk hats and Blue Tammany in rustic apparel Tam many roared from it lusty throats, Blue," 'Blues." Blues!" But it waa not for Blue nor Tammany. Cleverly rated close to the rail Wonderly waa bringing In Oold Heela. For one-sixteenth of a mile they were almost alone. But Bluea heart went faint and well into the stretch Oold Heels was overhauling him, passing him, leading htm with the Blaster chleftslashlp. Then cam that grand atruggl of Pentecost. Pentt Huhti to Front. Four lengths la the rear waa Madden' nor when the leader turned into the tretch. but on and on he came, gaining at every atrld. A hundred yr)i from the finish he had Blues beaten and slowly be began to crop on Oold Heela. Buhguo mean foe met htm there. Oold Heela sprung for ward again under Wonderly'e urging and when they passed under the wire Gold Heela The kind that's Right enjoy a reputation never before attalaed by a product of Ita kind.

The horse that may carry American turf colore to the front In the English Derby next year, won the first half ef the double event. He is Mexican, Clarence Mackay'a sterling colt, which picked up to weight 139 pounds. He wee admirably ridden by Burne and won on the new Futurity course In 1:06 1-5 from a good field. This straight away course was slower than the Suburban course, which experts said wsa at least one second pel mile under It best. This brings Mexican close to Nasturtium's reo ord last year, 1:04 1-S, and makes Oold Heels' rsce a marvel. John E. Madden bred Mexican, by Mirth- ful-Llandrlno, and entered him for Eng land's blue ribbon. Mr. Mackay was In ccstades sfter the race. "I did not buy any fancy yearlings," he said, "but I bought proven racers, and I am getting my money'a worth." Record for Betting;. Never has there been such a betting race, say the bookmakers. There were 103 ef the regulars, la addition to those who accept beta of $1. At least 1800.000 waa handled in the ring on the Suburban alone. There bad also been a tremendous amount of bet ting in the future books' on this event. The final price against Oold Heels was $ to 1 to win and even money for a place; Pentecost, 6 and 2; Bluea, and 2; Herbert, 6 and 2, and Advance Guard 6 and 2. There was much generous backing of Monograph, the hope of the west, who closed at 15 and 6. FlUgerald aent the field away In excel lent atyle, with none of the eleven starters Trigger having been "scratched having any great advantage or disadvantage. Th track bad been redeemed from an Inch of mud by hard work on the part of the super lntendent. Rain threatened all during th afternoon, but none fell, and a fine breeze cooled the crowds In the grandstand. General F. C. McElwee. one of Oold Heela' owners.

The first handicap medal play tournamsnt for the Cudahy cup brought out a great crowd of entries at th Country club Sat urday afternoon, and W. J. Foye won the event by a wide margin, although he, with R. R. Kimball carried the beavieet hand! tap of any, only three strokes. In winning this tournament, too, Foye equaled the club record for the eouree, which was held by himself, 75 stroke. Foy made this last year, and It ha never been beaten av by professional. The Cudahy cup I a new honor at the club, thl being It first appearance In com petition, given by E. A. Cudahy. It I to be played for five times, once a month for five month, and will then go to the man who has won th largest number of the matches. This fact, and it handicap con ditlons of play, have already made the trophy extremely popular, and Cudahy cup competitions will never lack fora host of entries. There Is something of a chance to wla thl prize, as It includes none of th "win three time In succession to hold" conditions, which hem in some of the golfing honors that are bung up for an incentive to victory. All Make Low Score. The play, aside from that of Foye him self, wa largely featureless yesterday. In fact. It wa remarkable chiefly for the low core that were made.

In describing the race there I trot much to ay. Otla, oft fourth, immediately shot to the fore and practically act the pace the entire distance, always under restraint, except approaching the finishing line, where Singleton tapped his mount three or four times with tne whip and let out a link or two. Glenwater essayed to take the lead after passing the club house turn and did lead Otis a neck or less for less than an eiahth of a mile, but after this great spurt on Glenwater part, Otla took his taw and thereafter was never bothered, winning most cleverly. The real fight, or spectacular feature, was that for second place between Lit tle Scout, Terra Flrma and Aladdin. Be hind Otis this trio came aa a team, Little Scout getting aecond money by a nose from Terra Flrma, with Aladdin right mere, oniy a neca away. Floura Pomona, the etronaiv Dlaced aec ond choice, was lame and sore prior to going to the post. She got oil badly and ran a dull race. Otla could have won much farther off had Singleton been dis posed to nis nead at all points. He was one of the outsiders in the betting, aa good as 20 to 1 being laid against his chances at one stage of the betting, with lew tatters. The weather was perfect and the track faat.

UNIVERSITY PLACE. Neb., June 14. (Special.) The cadet officer appointed for next year in the Wealeyan university pre aented their resignations in a body just before the school year closed. This is due to an action of th board ot Vrustees la their annual meeting. It la reported that one of the member ot th board, whose sun 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 requirement, making it voluntary, which amounts to killing the discipline and, in tact, the military organisation. It I said that several of the board, when asked what wa done, could not tell, re membering merely that aom action wa taken. Some profess to believe that this member of the board hustled the motion through while the board was busy and when unthinking they voted with the ma jority, or not at all. Military work for the last year has been a success, reaching Its climax at th en campment at MUford in May. Th cadet officer hav labored long and patiently and the department wa coming to tb front rapidly. With tb work merely voluntary oa th part of th students tbsr will be no Incen tive to begin th work at th first of ths yesr, when it must etart out briskly In order to work up enthusiasm along the line. Thoee who have been Instrumental In building up th work are highly Indignant that the board should allow themselves to be led Into tearing down tb department without at leaat aa attempt at aa Inveatl gallon into tb success and efficiency of the work.

STRIKE COAL NEAR SURFACE Well Borers Penetrate Good Vein at Depth ot Forty Feet Near Jamestown. FREMONT, Neb., June 14. (Special.) Another vein of coal ha been found at Jamestown In digging a well. Thla one is on th farm of Seneca Hager, a mile and a half south of th Remmele place, where a coal stratum waa reached about a couple of months ago. Th vein on the Hager place is only forty feet below the surface and Is fifty-two inchea deep. The well diggers struck rock at the depth ot about twenty feet and from there down used a rock drill. The rock, which was a hard, dark slate formation, contained amall streaks or seam of coal. At a depth ot forty feet clear coal wa struck tree from rock or slate and ap parently In a distinct vein. On account of large aized drill being used much larger pieces were taken out than In the Remmele well, many of them being half aa large aa hen's eggs. It Is a fair quality of soft bituminous coal and air alack quickly. There la no question about there being coal at Jamestown, but Whether It exists in sufficient quantity and of a fair quality have not yet been determined. Tb expense of sinking down to th vein on the Hager place will bo light and a shaft is likely to be put in.
