Turf Event OF s01 Passes Into History.
New YORK, June 17.-The great
suburban has been run and will pass
into history as the greatest turf event OF
1891. Never before has such a crowd
witnessed horse race in this country,
and this despite the fact that it was the
hottest June day ever known in the vi
clnity OF New York. At the track it
was simply blazing biistering hot with
not nook nor corner within reach
where the heat could be escaped. A
conservative estimate placed the number
of persons present at 10000 but many
believe that 10000 was much nearer the
figure. The race itself proved very sem
satiOnal, inasmuCh as Tenny, who went
TO the post the hottest favorite ever
known in the suburban, was Vjt only
defeated for first place, but finished in
the ruck. The second choice. Tea Tray,
finished absolutely last, but Major
Domo, the third choice, managed to get
the place by length from CaSsius. The
winner turned up in Loantalia, the D.
year-old son of sensation and Peggy
Dawdle, who was a long shot in the bet
ting, there being as much as 30 to
about HIM.
They start With Mighty Roar.
The judges summoned the horses to
the post at 4:15 o'clock, at which place
they soon appeared. They then paraded
past the grand stand and back again.
After little maneuvering they came
down toward the starter on a line.
Down went the flag, and with a mighty
roar of They're off. the race was on.
Major DOmO was the first to break the
line and he came toward the stand with
81 n"a the hest ot i. while Cassirs was

Notwithstanding snapper Galrison's
great efforts, 3.tusCd to run. When the
back stretch was reached the order was
about The same, and Murphy tried
to improve his position on 1rnny, but
the little swayback c0uld not gain u
yara. As they approached the upper
turn, Major DOmO had fhrrc-uualters of
p length the kCst Of t. while Dcmuth
YVES two lengths in front Of Cassius,
with Fitzjames next, followed by Ten
ny, who was getting the whip. The in
terest at this period was intense, and a
shout of dismay arose. "Tenny is beaten,
beaten, cried the hackers of the favor
lte- and 1t was true, for notwithstaud-
ing Isaac Murphy's vigorous work, Ten
ny could not improve his position.
As they swung into the stretch Major
Domo was the first TO show head be-
fore Demuth, who was head before
Cassius, while Fitzjames, Loantaka and
Tenny came next, with Tea Tray, thanks
to his ugly temper, bringing up the
rear. They ran in this order down to
the last furlong, when Marty Bergen
cut loose with Loantaka and it was all
over. With space-killing strides he
passed horse after horse amid the
plaudits of winners and losers alike, and
won length and half from Major
Domo, who beat CaSsius a length for the
place. Then came Fitziames, Banquet,
Tenny, Riley, Demuth, Isaac Lewis and
Tea Tray in the order named. The
fractional time of the race was: Quar-
ter, 0:23 is; half, O:5O; three-quarter,
l:l5; mile, 1:4l; mile and a quarter, 2:07.
