of the crowd began to leave New York
The sun kept out Of sight
and 80 the crush which would otherwise
have been sitting, was scarcely felt, and all
these thousands had come down chiefly to
see one race, the Suburban, a mile and a
quarter run. When the bugle called the
horses to the post Cassius was the first to
appear, with Salvador next, and the others
struggled in from all ways. At the parade
in front of the grand stand Salvador held
the post of honor and the others followed
in this order: Strideaway, Firenzi, Mon

and the others followed in close bunch.

had lead of a length from Longstreet,
who had head before Strideway, Firenzi

Montague last. Past the quarter they went
at terrific pace, with Cassius increasing
his lead steadily, while Longstreet kent

and blue of Tenny way in the ruck.
Now Garrison began to move up with
Tenny and as the blue and white began to
move through the mass of other coiors a
shout went up from the stand. Murphy,
on Salvador, heard it and sent Salvador up
in third place. Coming down the back
stretch Cassius increased his pace and at
one time had a lead of four lengths. Long,
street still held second place with a DEATH

Hash at q faster pace now, and Garrison set
the pace for him with Tenny. At the head
Of the stretch both were close on to Cas-
sius. The Beyerwyck stable candidate,
though. still held his lead of three lengths,

Strideaway. followed by Longstreet, Tenny,
Raeeland and the others.
Now they were all ranged up for the race
