Tnn SUBURBAN HANDICAP TO-DAY.
The Rest Field OF Horses That Have Ever
Stnrted For the Race,

Tho greatest race this country has ever seen
will undoubtedly 10 that for the Suburban Of
1890. which will be run at the Coney Island
Jockey Club track at Sheepshead Bay this
afternoon. the starters for that event being the
fastest horses in training.
Tho quality OF the horses engaged is higher
than in any previous year. and if there were
no other starters but Salvador. Tommy. Race
land, Prince Royal. FirenZi and LonGstreet the
meeting Of these tip-toppers alone, would
draw an enormous crowd. But not only these
flyers but Proctor Knott, Loantaka, Stride
away, Tea Tray. Cassius. Montague. and
others will go to the post. Tho track is bound
to be lightning fast. and q new record at q
milo and q quarter will undoubtedly DO estab
lished. There was littlo discussed in racing
circles yesterday and last aght but tho Subur
ban. For the past two weeks Tenny has been
the hottest kind Of a favorite. and ho was ex
pocted to be the post favorite But Salvatore
trial at Sheepshoad Bay on Sunday
whom he ran the Suburban distance with
full weight UP in 2:07'i. timed by half dozen
reliable men, has changed tho aspect OF affairs,
and Salvador will now be the favorite, and. in
tho opinion Of those who saw him work. lie
cannot be beaten. Trainer Matt Byrnes was
SO surprised at Sayators speed that TO shout
cd to tho boy who rode him to pull up. and the
Isaac Murphy will ride the chestnut colt, and
ho should win. When Just right Salvador is rs
good race horse rs the American turf can
boast OF. and there is every indication that hp
i now on edge. Tenny's splendid form in nll
his races SO far this year must not be over
looked. He has n world OF speed and will bo
well ridden by Garrison. and in tho estimation
Of Mr.. Pulsifcr the horse capable, OF beating
Tommy docs not live. Tommy may be expected
to run al the way, and he certainly viii not 10
worse than second. no matter what wins
in 40. but the public has all the line they re-
Iuire on him through his public trial in the
ran II milo and three-s iXteonths in 204 =.
within - seconds Of the record Tho big
could beyond n doubt have made a best on
record hud anthng started against him capable
of making htm run: Last years Suburban was
great honor for Mr.. Belmont to win it again
this year. Dnt LIS pounds is u crushin. i'm
tho way home Hamilton will ride itnronnd.
Firenz will probably be started to help Saliva
probability have the mount on Firenzl and
good rider VII be up on the mare Mean
time. while tho whole country side is ringing
with the news Of Salvador great trial. there is
not word sad about tho pwyer Brothers
ton pounds from Salvador and nine pounds
from Tenny. At much less difference IN
TSSh Rn in the evnGF en
Cassius is in Ercnt form. his trial ut Sheens-
head Bay in 2:US on Sunday being unusually
good work.
Strdenway's victory at Brighton Beach yes
terday will gain him some followers. and Loan
TAXA will have any number OF admirers. Tea
Tray will hardly do on his race At brighton
yesterday Tho clcverest mon who follow rae
ing are in favor OF salvador, and even money
beat Tenny. The opening event may 90 TO
Geraldine. with Volunteer second. russell
may win the Double Event but Bolero will
ma Ike him run on dry track. Jersey Pat may
do In tho EquinOctlal Stakes ana Rocare may
run second. Dclnulter and Eon may do in tho
will win Ina lns
