favorlte and his rival, Tenny, was we'll
favored, also, but could only finish third,
and out of the race sprang the great match
between him and Salvador, in which every
fraction of record of distance was shat
tered, and the mile and a quarter was
done in 2:05. Salvatore pathway
through life has truly been strewn with
roses,'' as the school girls hope in their
autograph albums. He has had ? royal
time as race horse, and in his youth,
soundness and yigor, was retired to the
stud by Haggin, and is now in California
at the ranch Del Paso, and not SO very
long ago his young sons and daughters
this country by those of the retired
stallion.
There was Lamplighter, the favorite.
with depth of girth, well knit muscles,
strong back and short, strong legs, fine
as fiddle, ready to retrieve his failure
in the Brooklyn handicap. But he was
not the only one the spectators approved
of. There was Banquet who ran a mile
and quarter on straight track at Mon
2:03%. He was only three years old then.
Another day he showed that he had not
lost speed when he ran mile and a
quarter, for the Standard stakes at
Morris Park, in 2:05A.
Even the accident which kept Tammany
In the stable and which robbed the public
of the giant battle it had expected be-
tween him and Lamplighter could not ma
terially detract from the gala day of 1890,
and when the saddling bell rung it seemed
that scarce any space was unoccupied.
Then the flyers came out stripped for the
parade, and were well worth craning a
neck to see.
Then there was Raceland backed by
many who remember his victories IN
times past. A dangerous horse is that
king OF sprinters, DR.. Hasbrouck, as
likely looking as any in the bunch. AS
Pessara pranced up in front of the stand
it was said probably that this is another
of Campbell's surprises. Pessara was
truly an unknown quantity. Then came
Mars to uphold the honor of the Morris
stable in the absence of Russell who has
bad leg. Charade, LoWlander and Ter
rifier were not particularly attractive to
the crowd as it was believed their chances
for winning were slim.
The English horse, Iddlesleigh, came
in for considerable comment. He is a
big, long, rangy chestnut and fair race
horse. He has never won at a suburban
class exactly. The Pepper looked formid-
able and had many friends.
The day from dawn has been glorious,
the sky was cloudless, but 1T has grown
hot, and the horses felt the warming in
fiuence, though cool breeze off the
ocean tempered the heat to those in the
shade.
LampIighter had the hold up as favor
| tie and Parade Banquet was next in favor,
with Pepper third. The remainder of the
| field was held at all kinds of odds.
| The suburban handicap was a most
grieyious disappointment to the turf low

Lampiighter who was looked upon as
| sure victor was made to fall from his
high pedestal. He was vanquished
strictly on merit, as the race was fairly
run from beginning to end. LoWlander,
| by Lowland Chief, Dam Restless, won the
race from end to end. He set a pace al
most to suit himself and won as he
pleased in the fast time of 2:O64
Terrlfier second, three quarters away,
while Lampiighter was third, four

was worth $1S, ZOO to the winner, So ,00t
to second and 81, 900 to third. The win
ner is owned by Bookmaker Fred Rowe,
who beside the rich stake netted many
thousands on bets.
The day opened progressively hot but
the weather did not keep the crowd
away, for there were fully 20, 900 persons
on the ground when the first race was
called and people kept coming till the
time set for the suburban. The betting
ring was the most animated place, fol
everybody was anxious to bet on the
great event. Lamplighter was even
money favorite, Banquet next in demand

Peasara were at tens. Twelves could bt
