True Run Race Won by the Best Handled
Horse-Very Little Enthusiasm
Over the Event


NEW YORK, June l5.-Better than to:
days weather could not have been de-
sired for the running of the suburban, as
the air was as clear as could be. although
the sun was hot cooling breeze swept
across the grand stand and down the
stretch at Sheepshead bay. In spite OF
the fact that the suburban was supposed
to be at the mercy of Domino and the
starters only mum bered six, there was as
much interest as ever III the race.
When the time came fer the running OF
the big race a typical suburban crowd
was present and the lawn was as we'll
packed as the grand stand.
At 4:05 the horses cantered Eup past the
grand stand to the starting post. but un-
like in former years there was very little
enthusiasm. A few applauded Domino
and Taral and when Sir Walter and
Doggett appeared there was considerable
hanu ella piping. Apparently this game
little son of Midlothian was the senti-
mental favorite, although he was a bad
second choice in the betting. The Others
got little attention and in a short time
the six contenders were ready for the
race.
The de ay at the post was but trifling
and without any false breaks Rowe got
them in line. The red flag swished, the
crowd shouted and the race was begun.
In the first few jumps Declare led the
way with Song and Dance second, Dom
ino third, Sir Walter fourth Lazzarone
fifth and Rubicon sixth. Domino was
on the outside and Taral wanted to get
up with the readers. so he set fair pace
and gave chase for Song and Dance, who
had taken the lead. Then the lot took
things easy and passed the judges stand
for the first time in 12ls seconds, Song
npi Dance leading by three parts of
length, Domino second by length,
Sir Walter third by neck ana Rubicon,
Declare and LaZzarone following.
Then came the sharp turn at the PAD
dock and with the jockeys steadying their
mounts as they came around. song and
Dance took it little easier, while De-
lare gained bit, Sir Walter falling off
INTO worse position. The first quarter
only leading by head, with Domino
s,cond length in front of Declare, VINO
rfas third. and Rubicon. Sir Walter and
Lazzarone following. The half was
reached in 0:51, with Song and Dance
only a neck in front of Sir Walter, he a
half length in front of Domino. who
was head in front OF Rubicon, Declare
and Lszzarone following.
Taral had not yet made a move on
Domino and had calmly seen Sir Walter
pass him. The pace was so slow that
Domino was getting just what it was sup
posed he wanted-an easy lun at first and
a squirt in the end. At the tive-eighths
pole Sir Walter was gaining. Doggett had
him extended there and was trying to get
him away as far as he could without urg-
ing, as they ran by the pole he was
length ahead of Song and Dance, and in
front of Domino who was head ahead
OF Rubicon, with Declare fifth and Laz-
arone sixth. The time to the three quar-
ters was 1:17 and Sir Walter was length
ahead of Domino, he ahead in front of
Rubicon. VINO was a neck in front of Song
and Dance, Declare next and Lazzarone
last.
On went Sir Walter and be was soon
ahead OF the whole field. Hamilton on
LaZzarone came to the conclusion that
Sir Walter was the horse he had to beat
so he let out a link and gave chase.
He cut down Declare and tn en- Song and
Dance. and then got into fourth place at
the seven elghths pole. Rubicon was
only neck III front OF him, Domino
only head further away, while Doggett
was working on Sir Walter two lengths
in front of all.
"Sr Walter wins' was the cry, and it
Gid irdeed look as if such might be the
case. The turn intoithe stretch with only
quarter OF mile to 60 was close at
hand, and all the Jockeys were hard at
work. Sir Walter maintained his lead of
two lengths around the turn, but Laz-
sarone had crept up to Domino and was
only short head behind. The mile was
passed in 1 :42
Look at Lazzarone!'' was the cry. He
was coming after Sir Walter like a whirl-
wind, and poor Domino was now COM
pletely used up. Lazzarone left him as
though he were standing STILL and there
was great play of whips and spurs. 1t
was OF no use to urge Doggett or his
mount to further efforts, for Hamilton
had the better horse under him, and inch
by inch crept away from his rival. First
neck, then half a length and then only
streak of daylight showed between them
as they bounded along, and Just as the
watches OF the timers stopped at 2:07 AS,
Lazzarone was passing the wire length
and half in front of Sir Walter. Dom
ino, however, was doomed to further hui
initiation, for in the last few Jumps
Song and Dance took third place away
were four lengths behind him. 1t was
true run race, and the best horse at the
weights won it.
