sheepshead Bay. l.. l.. June 15-Thc
twelfth Suburban handicap was won by
Lazzaroue, at sheepsbead Bay to-day In
the presence Of ll5,cOO spectators. AS a
matter Of course, the victory was not
popular one. An outsider seldom gets the
good win Of the spectators. Domino. the
/ to favorite failed at the distance and
finished fourth
Lazzarone's victory was too thrilling a
reversal Of form to gain popular approval
1t was decidedly In line with his perform
ance In the Brooklyn handicap. lie has
started twice at Gravesend since he ran
second to Hornplpe for the brooklyn han
dicap. In neither race did he show either
speed or staying powers. A few suspici-
ously inclined persons refused to believe
that his form was true. His race to-day
proved that they were right. Had he done
his level best in his two previous races no
would have been supported to beat Sir
Walter to-day. The stewards of the meet
ing had an informal discussion as 10 Lag
zarone's performances Nothing definite
was DONE but # is more than likely that
the matter win be placed in the hands
of the Jockey Club for action. A thorough
Investigation will be made and the owner.
trainer and jockey will have TO explain the

bles. Frank Beard owns the horse ana
W. Donohoe trains him. In his three pre-
vious races Isaac Murphy rode him. Ham
ilton piloted him to-day.
The field OF six were dispatched with
out unnecessary delay. Declare cut out
the work the first half mile. He then
yielded the position OF honor 10 Sir Wal
ter who took a decisive lead and led
the field to within u sixteenth OF the fin
ishing line Lazzarone who had taken
matters easy all the way, then challenged
him. A brief struggle ensued. After a
little urging. Lazzarone came away from
Sir Walter and won well within himself
by length and a half. Sir Walter was
game ia the last gasp. lie struggled
nobly, but was unable TO give il pounds
to Lazzarone. lie had TO be content with
place honors. Song and Dance came
strong at the finish and wrested third
money from Domino. Domino ran "a
wretched race. He was in hopeless difii-
culties before he had gone a mile. Thral
kept him under stout pull until the far
turn was reached, when he tried to close
on Sir Walter, but Domino was unequal
to the task. His race was al
most repetition Of three
cornered special at the Morris Park
fan meeting, when Henry Of Navarro ana
Clifford beat him. It establishes one fact,
and that is that Domino is a sprlnter
pure and simple. The bookmakers were
hard hit. The odds against Domino were
too short to suit the average bettor nnl

and Domino was ignored. select few
loaded every big book with I.azzarone
commissions. They got from 20 to 10 10
10 to l for their money. 1t is estimated
that Beard and his conferees won several
fortunes.
A pin could have been heard to fall as
the horses passed the post
Rubieon ran strictly up TO his latest
Gravesend form. He is not at his best by
ary means so far this season.
The twelfth Suburban will live long In the
history of the turf even though the scan
dal blows over, as one of the poorest
ever run. The fold was the smallest ar

the lowest possible description. The
weather was delightful and despite La2-

the track record, which was made by his
famous sire. If Handspring meets with
ordinary luck all the big 2-year-od stakes
of the season VIII be at his mercy. There
is not O colt in the country to-day that
could get in striking distance with even
weights up. Applegate was the favorite.
Hazlet and Refugee for unknown reasons
were also in greater demand than Hand
spring. The colt has q more sweeping
stride than his sire, but In other respects
is like him.
The Butterflies upset a good thing by
beating Rey Del Cararres in the first race

Monaco was easily the best colt in the
second race. He was hot favorite. Dog
gett hung on gamely under punishment to
the last, but could do no better than get the
place.
Hastings made waiting race of the
maiden 2-year-old affair which he finally
won quite easily. The talent were unde-
cided about the sixth race. To make sure
they backed Capt. r, Tom Skidmore Long

tied down the favorite. True to his Daily
instinct, he set hot pace to the sixteenth
post Long Beach then closed on him, and
after light shaking up beat him easily.
