LOwLANDER TAKES THE RACE.

An Outsider Wins the Tenth Suburban.
The Suburban handicap of 1893, the tenth in
the history Of the event. was as usual griev-
Gus disappointment to the turf-ioving public.
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
gathered about him because Of his numerous
successes was completely dispelled. He was
vanquished strictly on his merits. as the race
was true run from beginning to end. There
was no crowding or jossling. as was the case in
the Brooklyn handicap. The field was COM
psrstively small, aud every jockey rode to win

CLEAR, BUT HOT.
Suburban day this year opened and continued
bright and clear, but oppreseively hot A
pitiless sun beat down on the track with With
ering intensity. Every breath Of air that
reached the sweltering occupants Of the grand
stand wns like blast from an ovon. while the
betting ring was like huge furnace. Those
who had the hardihood TO venture within its
portals were soon perspiring freely as il
within the steam room of Turkish bath.
The crowd began to arrive early. Every road
from New York led to Sheepshead Bay and the
trains were simply packed with . solid perspir-
ing mass Of humanity. People hung OH to the
steps, on to the windows and few daring in-
dividuals would have taken TO the roofs OF the
cars had the railway Off cials permitted it,
When the mass Of humanity was poured out
at the track, distressing blockades ensued at
the entrances. Every one wanted to get in Mt
once, and the result may be imagined
THE HORSES APPEAR.
It was ASS before the horses had been as
signed to positions for the great handicap.
After several breaks, the flag dropped to q
good start, with DIR. Hasbrouck in front. The
others were almost in line close behind Nc
Dermott Immediately drove Lowlander in the
lead while TERRIER and Iddleseigh took SEQ
ond and third places, respectively. DIR. Has
b-ouck was fourth and Lamplighter lay fifth in
a good position. The others were in a close
bunch in the rear. This order was maintained
to the middle of the backstretch. where Low
lander and the other leaders drew away from
LamPlghter 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 homestretch three lengths be-

neck and neck, two lengths before Lampiighter

lengths from Aamplighter. who beat DIR. las

lddlesleish and Pessnra finished in the order
named.
The crowd. when they reached the race track,
had curious experience. The guards and
officials stationed st the gates cried out the
warning:
No exit st this gate uusn after the subur-
ban
Many did not like the idea Of being made
prisoners for several hours. but there was moth
ing to do but to submit IL one wished to sec the
race.
After the Suburban, when egress was allowed.
the wires. which happened to pass the
jockey clubs property, were cut. Commune
cation was finally restored, and then some per-
son unknown gave out untrue information as to
the placed horse in the Suburban. This made
Iamplghter the winner. Mars second and
lddlesleigh third. This false information was
telegraphed all over the country.
