Ono week ago tho Suburban Handicap which
will be run at Shecpshead Bay tomorrow
gave promise OF being tho most brilliant con-
test Of the kind seen In years. but In the short
space OF seven days Tammany. the great rival
OF Lam plighter; His Highness. a four-year-
old OF remarkable speed: Diablo. winner oftho
Brooklyn Handicap this spring. and. In all
probability, Pessara. winner OF the Metro

and will not face the starter for the Coney
Island Jockey Clubs big prize.
Tho racing public must not imagine. how
ever that the disabling OF the horses named

good horses unable to take part in the Subur-
ban is to be deplored. there Ia no doubt that
the attendance to- m orrow will DO very large
The field will naturally be small. but 1t will
be all the better for tho owners OF the horses
engaged and for the public who bet upon
them. AS the chance Of crowding and jostling
will BIO reduced to a minimum. LampliIhter

A story has been going the rounds Of late to
the effect that Mr.. Lorillnrd s other great four
year-o old. Locohatchee who went wrong at the
farm this spring 10 his final trial with Lamp
lighter for tho Brooklyn Handicap. will be
seen In the Suburban. 1t will be remembered
that THE Sun stated at tho time that there
was n possibility OF Locohatcheo standing
training again. us his injury was more in the
nature OF a wrench than a breakdown.
and since then, in the careful hands OF Barney
Riley. the homo trainer. at Rancocas. the
chestnut colt has mended very rapidly He
has began to take some work. but he is in no
condition to start for the Suburban or any other
race at the Sheepshead Bay meeting. and will
not be seen in public before Monmouth Park
opens. Ho Is now with Mr.. ItuCEins's string
at Sheepshead Bay and looks big and strong.
