SHEEPsHEAD BAY (N. W, June &c.
The great Suburban Handicap Of 1891 was
run this afternoon, and despite the hot
weather, it is thought that the greatest
| crowd that ever witnessed Il horse race in
| this vicinity was present at the Coney
Island Jockey Club races. a conserve
tive estimate places the attendance ut
$4,000, but many believe that 10000 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 pace itself proved very sensational,
lnasmuch as Tenny, who went to the post
/ the greatest 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 absolutely
last, but Major Domo, the third choice,
managed to get the place by length
from Cassius. The winner turned up in
LOantaka, the hVe-year-Old son of SenSa-
| ton and Peggy Dawdle, who was long
shot in the betting, there being as much
as forty to one against him.
The judges summoned the horses to the
post at 4:l5 O'Clock. After a little
maneuyering they came down toward
flag and with great cheering and cries of
They're Off," the race was on.
MAJOR Domo was the IrSt to break the
line, and he came toward the stand with
head the best of it, while Cassius was
second, length before Banquet, who
was length in front Of Demuth, VINO 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 sullIng, and, nOtWith-
standing Snapper Garrison's great efforts,
refused 10 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 sway-back could not gain a
! yard. AS they approached the upper
turn, Major Domo had three-quarters of
length the best of it, while Demuth was
two lengths in front of Cassius, with
Fitzjames next, followed by Tenny. who
was getting the whip.
The interest at this period was intense,
and shout OF dlSmay arose. -'Tenny is
beaten,'' cried the hackers of the f;avorite,
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 first to show his head before
Demuth, who was a head before Cassius.
while fitZj james, LOantaka and Tenny
came next with Tea Tray thanks to his
ugly temper, bringing up the rear. They
ran IN this Ordor down to the last furlong
when Marty bergen cut loose with Loan
taxa, and 1t was all over. With pace
killing strides he passed horse after horse
amid the plaudits of winners and losers
alike, and won by a length and a half
from Major DOmo, who beat CasSius a
length for place. Then came Fitziames,
