New YORK, June 1S.-One week ago
the Suburban handicap. which will be
run at Sheepshead Bay Tuesday, gave
promise of being the most brilliant con-
test of the kind seen in years, but in
the short space of seven days Tammany,
the great rival Of Lamplighter; His
Highness, four-year-old of remark
able speed; Diablo, winner of the
Brooklyn handicap this spring, and
in all probability Pessara, have gone
amiss, and will not face the starter for
the Coney Island Jockey clubs big prize.
The racing public must not imagine,
however, that the disabling OF the
horses named will make the Suburban
a certainty for Lamplighter. as Mr..
LOrilIard's champion carries 129 and
meets such handy horses as Banquet,
Charade, DR.. Hasbrouck, Mars. The
Pepper and Lowlander. Therefore,
while the luck of the Coney Island
Jockey club in having so many good
horses unable to take part in the SUP
urban is to be deplored, there is no.
doubt that the attendance Tuesday Will
be very large. The field will natu-
rally be small, but 1t will be all
the better for the owners of the horses
engaged and for the public who bet on
them, as the chance of crowding and
jostling will be reduced to minimum.
Lamplighter received his final prepara--
ton for the Suburban at SheepShead
Bay. He is regarded by competent
judges as the best handicap horse we
have had in years. Everybody admits
that Banquet will be LampllghterS
most dangerous opponent Tuesday. The
little gelding'S mile and quar-
ter at Morris Park III 2:05M,
with 120 pounds up, being the
best performance OF the season
from time standpoint. Phll Dwyer
will, unless he changes his mind, start
Raceland to help Banquet. Charade's
easy victory in the Metropolitan
handicap at Morris Park made some
close observers think that the black colt
had a chance for the Suburban, but
those who have carefully watched ms
career have always maintained that the
distance is furlong too far for him.
DR.. HaSbrouck'S race at Sheepsnead
Bay on Saturday was sort OF trla! Tor
the Suburban. This great Splinter has
not been asked TO run over mile eX-
cept OIL one or two occasions, and there
has always been the grave5t doubt as
to his staying powers. Lowlander, an
other Suburban candinate, whose weight
is 105 pounds, was in the race. and he
carried the Doctor along for the first
seven furlongs at very smart clip.
Both were tired when challenged by the
lightweight Kilkenny, and had to give
away to the Rancocas colt in the home
stretch. In all probability DR.. Has
brouck and LOwlander will start
Tuesday, but Oh Saturdays per-
Torrance they will scarcely be
dangerous, as neither rellSheS the dis
lance. Terrifier started Saturday. TOO.
with % pounds up. He cut no figure in
the race, and it would be a surprise Of
surprises if Terrifer should be danger
Gus in the big race. A horse that can
not be overlooked is the Morris repre-
sentative, Mars. He is dead game, can
run on any kind of track, and is in
the race at weight that will enable
him to be in the front rank from start
to finish. His work the last few days
has been so good that number of train
ers look upon him as the probable win
ner of Tuesdays big event.
Marcus DAILY will be represented by
The Pepper. The Pepper was smart
year-old. He was the favorlte this
Spring in the Metropolitan handicap, in
which he was ridden by Garrison, and
since that event has been in public but
once, when he was close second to
Banquet, standing drive with the ut
most gameness. Col. North, who has
not as yet won race on this side OF the
big pond, will probably start lddesielgh'
