LO4NTAKA WINS WE'LL.
and Major Domo FoNoecs First Be-
hind While Tenny and Tea
Tray are IN the Ruck.
By The United Press.
By The United Press.

Great Suburban has been run and
will pass into history as the great
est turf event Of 1891. Never be-
fore has such a crowd witnessed a
horse race in this country and this
despite the fact that it was the hot
test June day ever known in the
vicinity of New York.
At the tracL it was simply blaz-
ing, 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
10000, but many believe that 4O,-
600 was nearer the figure.
The race itself proved very SEN
sational inasmuch as Tenny, who
went to the post the hottest favor
itc ever known in the suburban,
was not 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
F.! get the place by a length from Cas-
slus. The winner turned up in
Loantaka, the 5-vear-old son of
Sensation and Peggy Dawley, who
was long shot in the betting,
there being as much rs forty to one
about him.
The judges summoned them to
the post at 4:l5 o'clock, at which
place they soon appeared. They
then paraded past the grand stand
and back again. After a little ma
nnuvre they came down toward the
starter on a line.
"They are off.

For one of the few times in the history
Of this country farmers have literally
been able to take advantage of the SC
called harvest moon" the first full
moon Of September, which is supposed
to be particular blessing to the agri-
culturists OF Europe. enabling them tc
work at night and so get their wheat in.
This season it was 80 furiously hot in
South Dakota for few days that farm
ers could not run their thrashing ma
chimes Consequently they rested dur
ing the heated hours Of the day. and
merrily started up their thrashing ma
chimes by moonlight. The harvest moon
has been believed for ages to be special
dispensation of providence to enable
farmers to get their wheat cut But it il
Of no use to American farmers, because
their harvest Is over before the autumn
perigee of the moon. which brings il
some 20. 900 miles nearer the earth than
it is at its greatest distance from us
This is why the September full moon
looks so large and bright But its ap
pearance at the time of the European
harvest must, on the whole, probably be
tRlsen as coincidence rather than spe
cial providence.
