New YORK, June 2O.-The Suburban
handicap of 1898, the tenth in the his
tory of the event. was most grievous
disappointment to the turf-loYing pub
lie. Lamplighter, their idol, who was
looked upon as sure victor in the great
race, was made to fall from the high
pedestal upon which he had been placed,
and the halo of victory which had gath
cred about him because of his numerous
successes was completely dispelled. He
was vanquiShed strictly on his merits,
as the race was fairly run one from the
beginning to the end. There was no
crow ding or jostling, as was the case in
the Brooklyn handicap; the field was
comparatively small, and every jockey
rode to win in as fair manner as pos
sible.
Lowlander, by Lowland Chief, dam
Restless, horse that has had rather an
erratic career, won the race from end to
end. He went out at the fall of the
flag, set the pace to suit himself,and won
almost as he pleased in the fast time of
2:06%. Terrifer, Father Bill Daly's
candidate, was second. three-QuarterS
of a length away, while Lamplighter,
the even money favorite that shrewd
turfmen said could not lose, was third,
four lengths back.
LOVIander, 10 to /.
Lowlander was at ten to one against
In the betting, and all kinds of fancy
prices could be obtained about the
chances of Terrifer. The race was
worth $4,000 to the winner. $1,000 to the
second horse, and $4,000 to the third.
The winner is owned by bookmaker
Fred Lowe, and besides the rich stake
he netted many thousands of dollars in
bets by the victory of his horse.
Suburban day this year opened and
continued bright and clear, but op-
pressively hot. A pitilesS sun beat
down on the track with whitening in
reached the SWeltering occupants of the
grand stand was like blast from an
oven, while the betting ring was like
huge furnace. Those who had the
bardihood to venture within its portals
we're soon perspiring as freely as
Ii within the steam room of
q Turkish bath. The crowd began to
arrive early. The trains were simply
packed with a solid, perspiring mass of
humanity,a and when the bugle called the
horses to the post in the first race, fully
10000 persons were on the grounds,an
this immense throng was steadily aug
mented up to the time set for the Su-
burban.
The first three races could not be run
quick enough TO suit the crowd. They
had come to see
The Suburban Prize
contested for, and it could not be served
up too quickly for them. The victories
of Dobbins, AIneer and Lizzie created
but meager enthusiasm, but, the third
race over, matters began to assume
more animated appearance. This was
especially true of the betting ring,
which. crowded and thronged as it had
been before, now became densely
packed. Everybody must have bet on
the Suburban, and everybody seemed
to be there. CroWding and joStling,
there was III plenty, but it was all done
good naturedly and no accidents oc-
CURED. Race!and and Charade were
early declared out of the race, and the
betting crowd, therefore, had nine
horses from which to pick the winner.
The question was quickly settled, as far
as the betting ring was concerned, as to
which of the thoroughbreds would
prove the victor. LampIighter was
Immediately and spontaneously installed
an even-money favorite and so he re-
NAMED throughout. Banquet was next
in demand at IS, while Mars, Lowlander
and Pesarra were at los. TWelveS could
be obtained about DR.. Hasbrouck and
The Pepper, and sos and COS about Ter
ritter and the English horse Iddlesleigh.
An immense amount of money was
wagered on the result, and most of this
remained with the bookies as subse-
quent events proved.
Atthe Post.
The race was set for 30, and promptly
at that time the horses were called to
the post. Pesarra was the first to ap-
pear on the track, but Immediately after
him came Terrifer, The Pepper, Dr..
Hasbrouck and Iddlesleigh. while Low
lander and Banquet quickly followed
those. Lamplighter and Mars did not
pass the grand stand, but sauntered
from their stables to the post. 1t was 4:58
before the horses had been assigned to
positions for the grand handicap. After
several breaks the flag dropped to a
good start, with DR.. Hasbrouck III front.
The others we're almost in line close
behind. McDermott Immediately drove
Lowlander in the lead. while Terrifier
and IddeSleigh took second and third
places respectively. Dr. Hasbrouck was
fourth, and Lamplighter lay fifth, in a
good position. The others were in a
bunch in the rear. This order was
maintained to the middle of the
back stretch, where Lowlander and
the other leaders drew away from
Lamplighter and those composing the
rear bunch. At the head of the back
stretch Iddlesleigh dropped back beat
en-, aud Lamplighter and Banquet be-
gan to make their run. Lowlander
turned into the home stretch three
lengths before Terrifier and DR.. Has
brouck, who were neck and neck two
lengths before I,.amplighter.
The Flying Leader
never faltered, and passed under the
wire a rather easy winner. Terrifier
shook himself loose from DR., Hasbrouck
in the final sixteenth, and secured the
place by four lengths from Lamplighter,
who beat Qr. Hasbrouck head. Ban
quet, The Pepper Mars, Iddesleigh and
Pesarra finished in the order named.
