THE SUBURBAN HANDICAP. |
The Great Race Won by Lowlander
In 2:O6 81.
New YORK, June 20.-The Subur-
ban Handicap of 1893, the tenth in
the history o. the event, was most
grievous disappointment to the turf
loving public. Lamplighter, their
idol, who was looked upon as sure
victor in the great race, was made
tofall from the high pedestal upon
which he had been placed, and the
halo of victory which had been
gathered about him because of his
numerous successes was completely
dispelled. He was vanquished
strictly on his merits, as the race
was a true run from beginning to
end. There was no crowding or
jostling, as was the case in the
Brooklyn handicap; the field was
comparatively small, and every
jockey rode to win in as fair man
ner as possible.
Lowlander, by Ilowland Chef,
dam Bestless, horse that has had
rather en- 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 tho fast time of 2:06a
Terrifer, Father Bill Daly's can
| didate, was second, three quarters
Of q mile away, while Lamplighter,
the even-money favorite, that
shrewd turfmen said could not lose,
was third, four lengths back.
Lowlander was at ten to one
against in the betting, and all kinds
of fancy prices could be obtained
on the chances OF Terrifer.
! Suburban-day this year opened
and continued bright and clear, but
oppressively hot. A pitiless sun bes,
down on the track with whitening
intensity. Every breath of air thai
reached the sweltering occupants o1
the grand stand was like bias
from an oven, while the betting-rine
was like huge furnace. Those wht
had the hardihood to venture within
it's portals were soon perspiring e.
freely as within the steam room o
a Turkish bath.
GREAT ATTENDANCE
The crowd began to arrive early
Every road from New York am
Brooklyn led to Sheepshead Ba
and the trains we're simply packe,
with solid, perspiring mass of hu
manity. People hung on to tn
steps and win, ows, and few DARN
individuals would have taken to th
1 roofs Of the cars had the railwa
officials permitted it.
3 When the mass of humanity VIC
t poured out at the track distressin
: blockages ensued at the entrance
n Every one wanted to get in at one
: and the result may be imagined.
u LIVERY SEAT TAKEN.
y Long before o'clock every SCI

b taken. The family parties occupie
n the first rows. They were on har
r early, and they stuck to their bla
y ing seats despite the sun and Il
3 intense heat. On the roof the
IS were hundreds of people, and tt
% sun there seemed hotter than en-
y where else.
y The betting ring was the magn
:e that attracted most Of the men
d, the huge crowd. Eighty-fve boo
le makers were in line to attend t.
le wants of betters, and they did
% brisk business throughout the afte
al noon. Their strong boxes we
b. filed to overfowing with gree
OF backs, and most of it staid there,
IN few of the peoples choices land
s. first past the wire.
ee TWENTY THOUSAND PEOPLE.
'e When the bugle called the hors

K 10000 persons were On the groun,
Re and this immense throng "

OF The first three races could not
O. run quick enough to suit the GROW
LIZ They had come to see the Suburb
Nv prize contested for, and it could I
ls be served up too quickly for the

ne and Lizzie created but meagre
,s' thusiasm, but the third race ov

tl- mated appearance. This was es
10 cially true of the betting ri

en- naturedly, and no accidents
