The Suburban.
SHEEPsHEAD BAY, June l6. - The
great Suburban handicap of 1891 was run
this afternoon AMI. despite the hot
weather. it is thought that the greatest
crowd that ever witnessed a horse race 10
this vicinity was present at the Coney
Island Jockey Club races. Conservative
estimates placed the attendance at 80, 900,
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 es-
cap the heat. The race itself proved
very sensational, inasmuch as Teuny,
who went to the post the greatest f~ayorite
ever known in the Suburban, was rot only
defeated Tor first place but finished IN the
ruck. The second choice, Tea Tray,
finished absolutely last, but Major Domo
third choice, managed TO get place by a
length from Cassius. The winner turned
up in Loantaka, the 5 year-old son of
Sensation and Peggy Dawdle, who was a
long shot in the betting. there being as
much as forty to one on him. The Judges
summoned the horses to the post at Ais
o'clock. Alter a little m~anoeuvring, they
came down toward the starte. on a line.
Down went the flag and, with great
cheering and cries they're of the race
was on.
Major Domo was the fret ID break the
line, and he came towards the stand with
a head the best of it, while Casslus was
second, a length before Banquet. who was
a 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. lea
Tray was sulklng and, Notwithstanding
Snapper Garrisons great Efforts, refused
to run. When the back stretch was
reached the order was about the same,
and Murphy tried TO improve his position
on Tenny, but the little swaytack could
not gain a yard. As they approached the
upper turn, Major Domo had three quar-
tiers OF a length the best of it. while De-
muth was two lengths in front of Cassius.
with Fitzsimmons next, followed by Ten
ny, who was getting the whip.
The interest st this period was intense
and a shout of dismay arose. ''Tenny is
beaten" cried the hackers of the favorite,
and it was true, for Notwithstanding Isaac
MurphY's vigorous work. Tenny could not
improve bis 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 Fitziames,
Loantaka and Tenny came next, with Tea
Tray. thanks to his ugly temper, bring
ing up the rear. They ran in this order
down to the last f~urlong, when Martin
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, a length and a half from Major
Domo, who beat Cassius a length for
