The most remarkable field of race
| horses that ever contested in one race
near New York, and the most remark
able crowd that ever went out of New
York to see such a race, met at the
Sheepshead Bay track June Il. where
the great, the long talked-of. the heav-
lily and widely bet on Suburban was run
off. The horses were remarkable as the
/ winners of the great races in the past.
but the one that came in first, and the
amount of money lost or won on him.
will be forgotten when tie memory of
the crowd will be fresh and awful.
| Fifty thousand persons were present
says the Chicago Times.
When the bugle called the horses to
the post Cassius was The first to appear,
with Salvador next and the others stray
Cling in from all quarters. Then they
formed into line and paraded before the
grand stand. Salvador held the post of
honor and the others followed in this
order: Strideaway, Firenzi, Montague,
Longstreet, Cassin, Tenny, Prince
Royal and Raceland.
The bell caused them to break, and
back they cantered to the post. There
was sudden movement, and like a
flash the field was off. 1t was only a
breakaway, however, for Prince Royal
and Tenny were still standing at the
post when they got ranged again. Long
streets heels flew up and Martin, on
Montague, keeled over in pain. He had
been kicked in the knee. He bravely
kept his seat, however, and the horses
once more moved down to the starter
They got well punched and moved in
good order.
They jumped away all together, and
Caldwell flashed his red flag on them in
4 jiffy. y mighty roar arose from the
immense throng as they came bounding
down past the stand. Cassius was in
front, and in the short distance had al
ready q lead of a length. Firenzi, that
gallant mare from the Haggin stable,
was running second, and the others fol-
lowed in a close bunch. Going around
the first turn CassiUs still had his lead
of length from Longstreet, who was
head before Strideaway, Firenzi being
fourth, Prince Royal fifth. Raceland
sixth and Montague last.

either Salvador or Tenny. Murphy was
letting the former run easily, while
Garrison had double wrap on Tenny.
Past the quarter they went at a terrific
pace, with Cassius increasing his lead
steadily, while Longstreet kept second
place from Strideaway, who kept his
head in front of Salvador, with the white
and blue of Tenny away in the
,
so fast that he sulked and he appeared
out of the race.
Now Garrison began to close up with
Tenny, and as the blue and white began
to move through the mass of other
colors q great shout went up from the
stand. Murphy on Salvador heard it and
quick as a cat he sent Salvador up into
third place. Longstrcet was half length
in front Of him, with the others punched
close behind.
Going down the back stretch Cassius
increased the pace and at one time had
a lead of four lengths. Longstreet still
held second place with a death-like
grip, and Salvador was but a half length
away. Prince Royal had taken fourth
place and Tenny held fifth. Salvador
and the yellow sleeves began to flash at
a faster pace now and Garrison set pace
for him with Tenny. At the head of
the stretch both were close on to Cassius.
The Beverwyck stable candidate,
though, still held her lead of three
lengths. Salvador was second, only q
neck III front Of Strideaway, followed
by Longstreet, Tenny, Raceland, and
the others.
Now they were al ranged out for the
race home. The Jockeys were working
like demons and the horses were re-
spending with all the gameneSS posi-
he. The crowd on the grand stand
shrieked like so many Indians as they
tried 10 urge on their favorites. Inch
by inch Salvador crawlcd up on the lead
ing Cassius. AS vet no whip or spur had
been used. Carbon was working des-
sperateIy on Tenn, ut the little horse
could not get up w all were whip
ping like mad. Still Cassius held his
lead
"Cassius wins madly shouted the
thousands as the last furlong pole was
reached.
NO, Salvador wins!'' shouted the
other faction, and then the gallant
chestnut, under the desperate whipping
of Murphy, drew away. The wire was
very near and Taral and Murphy were
riding for all they knew. In the last
jump Salvador got his head in front and
won by neck, with Cassius a length
and half in front of Tennv. Stride
away was fourth, four lengths away.
Then came Raceland, Firenzi, Prince
Royal, Montague and Longstreet. Time:
2:06 4-5.
