NEW YORK, June 1.-THE great Sub
urban has been run aud will pass into his.
tory as the greatest turf event OF 1891
Never before has suoh crowd witnessed
horse race in this country, aud this de
spite the fact that it was the hottest June
day ever known in the vicinity OF New
York. AT the truck IL was simply blazing,
blistering hot, with not a nook nor corner
within reach where the heat could be
escaped. A conservative estimate placed
the number of persons present at $4,000,
but many believe that 10000 was much
nearer the figure. The race itself proved
very sensational inasmuch as TeRny, who
went TO the post the hottest fayorite ever
known in the Suburban, was not only de
feated for first place, but finished in the
ruck. The second choice, Tea Tray, fin
ished absolutely last, but Major Domo,
the third choice, managed 20 get the place
by length from Cassius The winner
turned up In Loantaka, the 5-year-old son
of Sensation and Peggy Dawdle, who was
long shot in the betting, there being as
much as 40 to against him
The judges summoned the horses to the
postsat 4l5 o'clock, at which place they
soon appeared They then paraded past
the grand stand and back again. After a
little maneuvring they came down toward
the starter on line. Down went the red
flag, and with 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 head the best OF
! IL, while Cassius was second, a length be-
fore Banquet, who was a length In front
of Demmh, who in turn was head be.
fore Isaac Lewis, with the rest all punched.
| Tenny, Tea Tray and Loantake were
bringing up the rear Tea Tray was sulk-
ing, and Notwithstanding Garrison's ef-
| forts refused to run.
When the backstretch was reached, the
order was about the same and Murphy
tried to improve his position on Tenny,
but the little swayback could not gain a
yard. As they approached the upper turn
Major Domo had three-quarters of a
length the best Of it, while Demuth was
two lengths in front Of Cassius, with Fitz.
| james next, followed by Tenny, who was
getting the whip. The interest at this
/ period was intense, and shout of dismay
| arose. "Tenny is beatenw cried the
hackers OF the favorite, and it was true,
for Notwithstanding Murphy's most yigor-
Gus efforts, Tenny could not improve his
position.
AS they swung into the stretch, Major
Domo was the first to show, a head before
Demuth, who was a head before Cassius,
while Fitzjames, Isoantaka and Tenny
came next, with Tea Tray, thanks to his
bad temper, bringing up the rear. They
ran in this order down 10 the last furlong,
when Bergen cut loose with Loantaka, aud
it was all over. With space killing strides
he passed horse after horse, amid plaudits
of winners and losers alike, and won,
length and half from Major Domo, who
beat Cassius length for the place Then
came Fitzjames, Banquet, Tenny, Riley,
DemGth, Isaac Lewis and Tea Tray in the
order named.
