NEW York, June 16.-The great Sub
urban has been run and will pass into his
tory as the greatest turf event of 1891.
Never before has such crowd witnessed q
horse race in this city, and this despite the
fact that 1t was the hottest Juno day ever
known in tho vicinity of New York. At
the track it was simply blazing, blistering
hot, with not o nook nor corner within
reach where the heat could be escaped. A
conservative estimate placed the number
of persons present at 80, 900, but many be-
ieved that 900 was much nearer the
figure. The races proved very sensational,
inasmuch as Tenny, who went to the post
tho hottest favorite ever known in the
Suburban, was not only defeated for first
place, but finished in the ruck. The Sec
ond choice, Tea Tray, finished last, but
Major Domo, the third choice, managed to
get the place by a length from Cassi1s.
The winner turned up in Loantska, the
Dawdle, who was long shot in the bet
ting. Mutuals paid $193.50 straight and
$69.20 for the place. Major Domo paid
$55. 10.
Tho judges summoned the horses to the
post at 4:15 o'clock. After little man
euvering they came down toward the
starter on 4 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 eame toward
the stand head in front of Cassius, who
was second, Banquet, Demuth and Issac
Lewis following q length apart, with the
rest all punched. Tenny, Tea Tray and
Loantaka were bringing up the rear. Tea
Tray was sullking and, notwithstanding
Garrison's efforts, refused to run. When
the backstretch was reached tho order was
about the same, and Murphy tried to i'm
prove his position on Tenny, out the lit
tie swayback could not gain . yard. As
they approached the upper turn Major
Domo had three-quarters of q length the
best of it, while Demuth was two lengths
followed by Tenny, who was getting the
whip. The interest at this point was in
tense and q shout of dismay arose. "Ten-
ney is beaten" cried the hackers of the
favorite, and it was true, for notwith-
standing Hurphy's most vigorous efforts
Tenney could not improve his position.
As they swung around into the stretch
Major Domo was the first to show a head
before De Muth, who was head before
Cassius, while Fitz-James, Loantaka and
Tenney came next, with Tea Tray-thanks
to his bad temper-bringing up the rear.
They ran in this order down to the last fur
long, when Bergen cut loose with Loan
taxa and it was all over. With pace-k kill
ing strides he passed horse after horse
amid the plaudits of winners and losers
alike, and won length and half from
Major Domo, who beat Csssius length for
the place. Then came Fitz-James, Ban
quet. Tenny, Riley, De Muth, Isaac Lewis
and Tea Tray in this order.
