TENNY BEATEN.
LOantaka Wins the Great Subur-
ban Handicap.
The Odds Were Forty to One Against Him
The Gallant Swayback Didn't Even Gee
Second Plece-An Immense Crowd.

SHEEPsHEAD BAY, June 16.-The great
Suburban handicap of 1891 was run this
afternoon, and despite the hot weather 1t
Is thought that the greatest crowd that
ever witnessed horse race in this vicinity
club races. Il conservative estimate placed
the attendance at $4,000, but many believe
that 40, 900 is much nearer the mark The
weather was the hottest of the season, and
there was not a nook or corner where the
crowd could escape the heat. The race
Itself proved very sensational, inasmuch as
Tenny, who went to the post the greatest
fayorite ever known in the Suburban, was
not only defeated for first place, but
finished in the ruck. Second choice, Tea
Tray, finished absolutely last, but Major
Damo, third choice, managed TO get place
by a length from Cassius. The winner
turned up in Loantaka, the five-year- old
son OF Sensation, and Peggy Dwadle, who
was long shot in the betting, there being
as much as 40 to l against MIN.
The judges summoned the horses 10 the
pos at 10 o'clock. After little maneu-
vreing they came down toward the starter
on line. Down went the flag, and with
great cheering and great cries OF They
are OF, ;" the race went on. Major Domo
was the first TO break the line, and he came
toward the stand with head the best Of
it, while Casslus was second, length be-
fore Banquet, who was length in front Of
Demuth, who in turn was a head before
Isaac Lewis, with the rest punched. Tenny,
Tea Tray and Loantaka were bringing up
the rear. Tea Tray was sulking, ana not
withstanding Snapper Garrison's great
efforts, refused TO run. When the back
stretch was reached the order was about
the same and Murphy tried 10 improve his
could not gain, and as they
approached the upper turn Major
Domo had three quarters of a length
the best Of IL while Demuuh was two
lengths in front of Cassius with F'itz James
next, followed by Tenny who was getting
the whip. The interest at this period was
intense and shout of dismsy rose. ''Tenny
is beaten" cried the hackers of the favor
lite and it was true, for Notwithstanding
Isaac Murphy's vigorous work Tenny could
not improve his position. AS they swung
into the stretch Major Domo was the first
to show head before DemuJh who was a
head before Cassius, while Fitz James,
Loantaka and Tennv came next with Tea
Tray, thanks 10 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 win
ners and losers alike and won, a length and
a half from Major Domo, who beat Cassius a
length for place. Then came Fitz James,
Banquet, Tenny, Riley, Demuth, Isaac
Louis and Tea Tray in the order named
