 Fully Twenty Thousand People Saw
 the Great Suburban Race at Sheeps- head Bay-Al the Favorites Were
 Beaten With Ease-The Grounds
 Were Guarded by PInkertons to
 Prevent Egress Until After the Big
 Race Had Been Run.
 SHEEPsHEAD BAY, L l., June 20.-The great Suburban handicap race attracted over 0,000 people to the race course here to-day. The weather was warm and the track was In good condition. There were eighty-fve bookmakers on the grounds and they did brisk business. Few of the public choices landed first past the wire during the day. The Suburban was the fourth race on the program. The distance was one and one-quarter miles and the value of the race was s25. 900, the winner to receive SIS, ,000, the second horse $5, 900 and the third $2,000.
 Raceland and Charade were early de- clared out and the betting crowd had nine horses from which to pick the winner. Lamplighter was made an even money favorite and so remained throughout Ban quet was next in demand while Mrs Low lander and Pessara were at tens. Twelves could be obtained on Hasbrouck and the Pepper and thirtys and sixtys on Terrifier and Iddesleigh. An immense amount of money was wagered on the result.
 It was 4:58 before the horses had been assigned to positions. After several breaks the flag dropped to good start with Dr. Hasbrouck in front. The others were all most in @ line close behind. McDermott immediately drove Lowlander in the lead while Terrifer aud Iddesleigh took second av1 third r,1ooau paonoeffvalv brouck was fourth and Lsmplighter lay fifth in good position. The others were in close bunch in the rear.
 This order was maintained to the mid ale of the back stretch, where Lowlander and the other leaders drew away from Lsmplighter and those composing the rear bunch. At the head of the back stretch Iddlesleigh dropped back beaten and Lamplighter and Banquet began to make their run.
 Lowlander turned into the stretch three lengths before Terrifier and Dr. Hasbrouck, who were neck and neck, two lengths be- fore Lsmplighter. The flying leader never faltered, and passed under the wirea rather easy winner. Terriier shook himself clear of Dr. Hasbrouck in the final sixteenth Lamplighter, who beat Dr. Hasbrouck e l head. Banquet, The Pepper, Mars, Iddes- leigh and Pessara finished in the order named. The winners time was 2:0S S-5. The result was @ grievous dissppoint- ment to the turfloving public. Lamp | lighter was vanquished strictly on his merits, as the race was @ true one from be- ginning to end. There was no crowding | or jostling and every jockey rode to win in
 as fair manner as possible. Lowlander, the winner, has had rather an cratic career. He is owned by Bookmaker Fred Lowe and besides the rich stake Lowe netted many thousands of dollars in bets. | No one who entered the grounds was al lowed to leave until after the Suburban was run and the fence surrounding the race grounds was at all points guarded by Pinkertons. These precautions wert
 taken, 1t was said, to prevent the Guttsn' berg race track people and the Fort Lee pool rooms from getting information re- garding the races at Sheepshead. It wal
 said later that the Jockey club was alse fighting the Western Union Telegraph company because of dissatisfaction ovel ing for sending race news to the western pool rooms. The Western Union oAct was removed from the course by order o
 the officials and 1t was impossible to gel news from the race even for the press The Western Union established an oHc'
 some distance outside the track.
 After the Suburban when egress was
 lowed, the wires which passed over tn Jockey clubs property were cut. Com munication was finally restored and thel some person unknown gave out untrue in
 formation as to the result of the Suburban
 making Lamplighter the winner. Tn false Information was autographed all owe
 the country and caused much confusion.
