FOE GETAWAY DAT.
Starters, Weights and Jockeys In the
Suburban Handicap.

Suburban Handicap.
NEW YORK, N. Y, June l4.-To-mor-
row will be Getaway day of the Coney ISL
and Jockey Clubs opening meeting and
the attraction on the programme will be
the historic Suburban, the greatest equine
event of the racing year. The Suburban
this year is OF less value than ever before
This was made necessary by uncertainty
: that surrounded the race when the stake
was offered. However, the horse owner
does not value the suburban for its money.
1t is the honor of winning this great han
dicap that is coveted.
Following are the entries, weights and
probable Jockeys: Sir Walter, 126, Doggett;
Domino, 123, Taral; Rubicon, 119, w.
Midgley; Lazzarone, lis, l. Murphy; Sister
Mary, lis, Hamilton; Declare, 10S, J.
Lamley; Song and Dance, SO, Griffin.
The withdrawal of Ramapo has been a
great factor in the interest in the race. In
the seven entries three are confessedly out
| only for second or third money.
Song and Dance is the lightweight of the
party, having to take up but 80 pounds.
| although with Griffin in his saddle he will
have to carry several pounds over weight.
Declare was only decided upon as starter
after Ramapo had been scratched, Mr..
| Dwyer thinking that he had a fair chance
| to be third at least, and if the track should
happen to be wet there is no telling where
he might land. Rubicon has not shown
his ability to go the distance thus far, and
| Mcdonald has hopes of one of the places
after the winner.
Sister Mary is most erratic performer,
and so far in the East has not shown that
she belongs in the class with the others
This leaves Sir Walter, Domino and
Lazzarone as the most likely contenders
Sir Walter is the top weight, but he has
| time and time again shown his ability to
carry weight and win in fast company
over the distance. He is one of the gamest
horses that ever looked through bride,
and can be depended upon to exert every
ounce of strength before he gives up.
Lazzarone was the second horse in the
Brooklyn handicap and takes up lis
pounds. This is two more pounds than he
! carried then, and it should not make any
difference to him. He was disappoint-
ment to his owner after that race, for he
ran twice and was nowhere. Since then
he has had rest and may do better, but
he was always an uncertain beast. If
Isaac Murphy win only ride with as good
judgment as he did in the Brooklyn handi-
cap Lazzarone is by no means out of the
race, for he, too, can go the distance
Domino is the other and the odds on
favorite. He has to take Up 1913 pounds,
with Taral on his back. According to his
work he looks to be sure winner and few
of the trainers at the track are willing to
concede his defeat. The few who have
pinned their faith to Sir Walter and Laz-
zarone declare Domino is nothing but a
sprinter. Mr.. Keene seems sure his horse
will win and the trainer, William Lake
land, will not allow any talk of defeat on
Domino. Domino has raced but three
times in his life at over mile and did not
cover himself with glory either time.
Domino is in tight box, for if he sets a
hot pace he will have Sir Walter and Lag
zarone to contend with at the end, and if
it is slow pace the Rubcon may give him
trouble.
