NEW YORK, June 17.— Imp hand
iiy — that Is the history of to
day's Suburban handicap; add
ing this, that the favorite, Ban
astar, was left at the post, car
rying an unprecedented amount of the
public's money, and that he would have
been beaten had he started fairly in
the record-breaking mile and a quar
ter.
For Imp, the first mare to win in the
Suburban history, clipped two-fifths
of a second off the Suburban record
and won as she pleased, although, to
be sure, the boy up, "Long Shot" Tur
ner, went to the whip in the last few
yards, when he led Bannockburn two
lengths and could feel the money.

; tious and refused to join his company,
kicking at everything within reach. A 1
ltfilf past 4 the starter thought h" had
them In line and called them. Briar
Bweet refused to break and they were
called ba>k. Ten minutes later they
got another break. They were all in
perfect line, but Maher on Banastar
did not like his position and pulled his
mount up, for which he was lectured
by the starter. Five minutes •
Imp and Briar Sweet and Banastar be
ing the offenders. Another break came
and this time only the inside wine;
moved. Briar Sweet was responsible
for the next break.
Nine attempts were made by the
starter. Then, at last, the Hag did fall.
They were off! The stand rose to it.
The crowd on the lawn strained against
the ropes. A mighty cry burst from
25,000 throats. "They're off!" And SO
they were. And liana-star, with a for
tune on him, was left standing.
Imp. George Keene, Tragedian, Ban
nockburn and the rest — away they
came, Bannockburn thus early chal
lenging the leaders and showing form
which threatened the best afoot. By
the time they got to the stand George
I Keene was still making the pace, but J
Briar Sweet was on his flank, and Tur
ner, with Imp well in "hand, was third,
rfdln*? a bit wide of the others and
awaiting his chance. Filigrar.es nose
was bobbing behind him and he was
doming with a rush, but the effort was
premature and at the first turn Keene
and Briar Sweet were leading, with
Imp well within striking distance and i
Filigrane next. As they entered the
back stretch these were practically all
together. Latson, who had made a
spurt, fell back. The crowd did not
know. To make it more puzzling, Tra
gedian shot up from the ruck into the j
foremost bunch. But it was only a
momentary effort. Her race was run.
Turner, riding straight and touching ■
neither whip nor spur, let Imp out a
peg and she went to the front. Ban
nockburn was so close then and
seemed to have so much to spare that j
the crowd arose and shouted "I'.un-.
nockburn! Bannockburn!"
But Turner had chosen his time and
th" black mare, striding beautifully,
went to the fore and opened up three [
lengths of daylight between her tail j
and the game brown horse behind, who
ran neck and neck with George Keene.
Briar Sweet was coming and looked
still dangerous.
The stand was a sight to see. The
dress parade so noticeable early in the j
day was forgotten. Men and women
Stood up ami shouted "Imp;" "Ban
nockburn !"
They were coming around the last :
turn. They were in the stretch at last
and first to show came the black thor- i
oughbred Imp, with Bannockburn ;
striving to close. For a moment he
gained, and then it looked as if he
might win. But the mare — the first
that ever went the prize-day distance
—had much in reserve, and Turner took
her away a foot or two at every Jump.
But he was not sure. There was that
deadly furlong or two to go, where so
! many had fallen by the wayside be
fore him. There was a hoarse cry from
the stand. The crowd on the green
surged against the fence and were car
rying it away. Bannockburn was clos»
ing the gap. |
fine furlong more! Turner glanced
over his shoulder. The cry of the grand
ptand thousands was in his ears. He
arose in his stirrups. Ip went his
whip. Before it fell the fleet black
mare seemed to feel it. Rannockburn
was feeling lash and spurs, hoping to
head Imp in front and fearing game
Warrenton. who had come out of the
ruck and was driving behind for the
place.
Before Turner's whip fell in that last
furlong Imp was away. The heart
heats of the mighty crowd kept time ,
with the thundering hoofs. Two lengths
and more Imp lead Bannockburn, and !
yet the Western boy, riding his first
great winner, tickled her flanks with ■
the lash. Rh<» arose to it as a horse un- !
used to the whip and in a stride or two
gained more on Bannockburn, who had ;
been dogged to his best.
That was all that was needed. "Imp! I

game mare went under the wire in
record time, with Bannockburn two
lengths away, leading Warrenton by
three lengths. Warrenton holding Taral
and Ben Holladay by a half-length.
She made the distance in 2:05 4-5, beat

thus far this year by Imp was at
Gravesend on June 14, when she shoul

a mile and an eighth and fairly ran
away from her field, winning by throe
lengths in the fast time of 1:53%.
The other stake of the day was the

HISTORY OF THE WINNER
Great Mare the Idol of the People
of Chillicothe.
NEW YORK, June 17.— Imp, the first
of her sex to win one of the preat
spring handicaps, who succeeded when
Gorgo, Pirenzi, Los Angeles and all
the best that went before her failed,
is a hip, rag-god, Mark mare, not pretty
to look at, but a phenomenon when
there is racing to he done. For four
Beasons Bhe lias been on the turf, and,
racing early and late, she ha? won on
all tracks. East and West, in all ports
Of company. Her greatest reputation is
in the West, however, where from Cin
cinnati, where she won a maiden race
as a two-year-old, to Chica 'o, she has
gone to the front and galloped to death
all the best that could be opposed to
her. Her victory to-day was her sec
ond effort for the Suburban, she hav
ing failed in the race won by Tillo last
yea r.
She failed in the Brooklyn handicap,
though prior to her triumph to-day,
she picked up two good races, the last
a mile and a furlong in 1:53%, carrying
126 pounds.
Imp is five years old, by Wagner, the
bod of Prince Charlie. Her dam is Fond
ling, by Fonso; second dam Kitty Her
ring, by Chillicothe. On the dam side
she is of D. R. Harness', her present
owner, home breeding for generations.
Mr. Harness is a farmer of Chilli
cothe, Ohio, and one of the oldest turf
men in America. Nearly forty years ago
his colors were familiar on every promi
nent American racecourse. He owns
a large farm near Chillicothe and there
he has bred winners for nearly a half
century. Imp is the idol of the veteran
turfman's heart, and he had supreme
confidence In her winning some of the
great events of the East.
When Imp returned to Chillioothe
last year after having been campaigned
in the East the townspeople turned out
p n masse. The occasion was made a
great public holiday. The Mayor and
citizens met her at the station with
bands of music and escorted her in
triumph through the streets to her
stable. When she started recently in
the Brooklyn Handicap and was beaten,
Chlllicothe was in mourning and all her
betting men went broke. The return
of the great mare on the next occasion
will probably be the occasion of one of
the most remarkable demonstrations of
its character ever witnessed.
The record for the Suburban distance,
one and a quarter miles, is held, over
the circular course, jointly by David
Tenny and Algol, both four-year-olds.
Tenny ran the distance at Washington
Park. July 16, IS9S, carrying 100 pounds,
in 2:04%. On the same track one week
later Algol duplicated the performance,
carrying 107 pounds. Banquet covered
the distance in 2:03% over the straight
course at Monmouth Park mi July 17,
1890.
Maher Fined and Suspended.
NEW YORK, June 17.— The directors of
the Coney Island Jockey Club to-day fined
Jockey Maher $200 for abusing the horse
Banastar. Maher was suspended from
riding for ten days for willfully breaking
up starts in the Suburban race.

SLOAN HAS A RIVAL
IN LITTLE REIFF
Riding of the Midget Jockey Ap
plauded by English Race-
Goers.
LONDON, June 17.— To<l Sloan promises
to have a rival In little "Johnnie Ueiff,
who was accorded a most enthusiastic re
ception when he won the new biennial
1 stakes at Ascot on June 14, on Sir Waldie
Griffith's chestnut filly, Betty Field. He
looked like a child of ten and was all
over the place with the tillv. but straight
ened her in workmanlike fa-shion, and,
riding in Sloan's style, won very easily,
whereupon the women cheered even more
than the men. Such a recognized au
thority as George Courtell. editor of the
Sporting Times, says that, looking at
Beiff's weight, skill ami self-possession,
Ufcre must lie a great career before him.

ARTICLE XIII.
Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as a punishment
for crime, whereof the party shall
have been duly convicted, shall
exist within the United States or
any place subject to their juris
diction.
VICTORIA. B. C, June 17.— The Su
preme Court of Hawaii on June 9
handed down a decision in the case of
the Honomo Sugar Company vs. A.
Sayewiz and N. Gzeluch for deserting
contract service, overruling the excep
tions of the defendants and affirming
the judgment of the Circuit Judge.
These men deserted in September, LB9B.
They were arrested, found guilty and
fined, and upon failure to pay the fine
were put in jail. They appealed to the
Supreme Court on the ground that the
penal clause of the labor law was
against the constitution <>f the United
States, and that their imprisonment
was therefore illegal.
After referring to the Peacock, Ed
wards and other cases, the court says:
"These cases practically determine the
point that the provisions of the con
stitution of the United States above
cited are not in force here during the
present transition period."
This Bettles the validity of the penal
clause in the contract labor laws as the
matter now stands.
The importation of Italians as labor
ers upon some plantations is now defi
nitely decided upon. A number of man
agers have made application for this
class of people, and they will almost
certainly form a part of our population
in the course of a few months. ,
To Consul Schaefer is due the credit
in this matter. As the representative
of Italy in the islands, his word had
groat weight with the Government of
Kins Humbert; and he has been un
tiring in his efforts to collect and for
ward information. The result has been
that the Italian Government is ready
to permit an extensive emigration to
the islands.
There is some difference between the
terms upon which the Italians come
to the islands. In the case of the Por
tuguese the local Government bore 30
per cent of the cost of bringing the
families. In the case of the Italians
the local government will give 50 per
cent toward the cost of families. The
last Legislature allowed $50,000 toward
assisting in Immigration of either
Americans or Europeans, and that ap
propriation is available for the Italians.

WASHINGTON, June 17.— President Mc-

has restored to the naval service a man
who was dismissed in 1894 on charges of

succeeded in getting through jhe last
Congress an act authorizing the President
to appoint him a paymaster, with the rel
ative rank of lieutenant commander at
the foot of the list of paymasters hav

and), at the entrance of Delagoa
Bay. There is no confirmation "f
the report, and in semi-official
circles it is looked upon as being
untrue.
LONDON, Junp 17.— The Transvaal situ
ation is still the all-absorbing topic of < lis
cussion in Great Britain, and even the
Continent has caught the disease although
in a less virulent form. Outwardly the
question sc. Ms u> have advanced t>ut lit
tle, tbou^rii those who an- inside think
the cause of the CJltlandtrs has gone up
several pegs. 'Ph.- publication of th<
Transvaal bli)e>book with ;• emphatic
denunciation of Transvaal methods, set
ting forth in measured paragraphs the al
leged political, financial and judicial in
compfitency of the administration "i
President Kruger and adopting as pari of
the Government's programme all the
grievances of the Uitlantlers, constitutes
a matter of the highesi import. It was
unmistakably a warning to the 1
vaal as well as an indication to the people
of South Africa generally thai tlv- Gov
ernment has arrived at> a fixed decision,
impossible to recede from, and there are
not lacking indications that the hint has
not b< en lost at Pretoria,
Although it is difficult to separate facts
from fiction in the multiplicity i
Hiding stories, it is the general impres
sion of those in a position to know that
the conciliatory dispatches Which Dr.
Leyds, the representative in Europe of
the Transvaal, received June 11. r< pres< nts
the true situation, while President
Kruger's deflani s] eh of the same day
was merely Intended for home consump
tion. Thr opinion is now growing that the
delay necessitated in awaiting Sir Alfrtd
Mllner's full report of the Bloemfontein
conference will make a way for a pacific
settlement. As an official in the close
confidence of the Government declared, it
would pive President Kruger "time to se<
his house in order."
But unless the talked of concessions are
speedily inaugurated, momentous conse
quences are predicted. The position in
England of the Secretary of State for the
Colonies. Mr. Chamberlain . however, is
readily declining and the emphatic sug
gestion is heard in Influential quarters to
transfer the conduct of the negotiations
from the Colonial to the Foreign Office.
