June is. — Small fields went to the post in live of today* races at Belmont Park, but the rarktg itself called forth much enthusiasm and was marked by a number of close linislies. The Harlem Belling Stakes, one mile, went to Tarts, which, after racing with Perthshire until the tilial sixteenth was reached, drew away to win by a margin of one length, old Donald MacdonaM was perhaps the best horse in the race, as he was al-1 twed to fall far out of the running and. after making a wide stretch turn, he came with a rush at the end and was fast wearing the winner down. Metcalf used bad jndgsaeat throughout the race, as Hie early pace was not so fast as would have made Donald Ma.doiial.l overexert himself.
