New York, June 15.-Better weather
than today could not have been desired
for the running of the suburban, as the
mir was as clear as could be, and although
the sun was hot a cooling breeze swept
across the grand stand and down the
stretch at Sheepshead bay. The track
and grounds were as bright as they could
he made. In spite of the fact that the
suburban was supposed to be at the
mercy of Domino. and the starters only
numbered six, there was as much interest
as ever in the race.
A typical suburban crowd was present
and the lawn was az well packed as the
grand stand. At five minutes past four
the horses cantered up past the grand
stand to the starting post, but unlike
former years, there was very little en-
thusiasm. A few applauded Domino and
Taral, but when Sir Walter and Dogget
appeared there was considerable hand
clapping. Apparently the game little son
of Midlothian was the sentimental fayo-
in the betting. The others got little at
tention, and in a short time the six con-
tenders were ready for the word. The de-
Law at the post was but trifing, and with
out 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
inc third, Sir Walter fourth, Lazzarone
fifth, and Rubicon sixth. Domino was on
the outside and Taral wanted to get up
with the leaders, so he set fair pace and
gave chase to Song and Dance, who had
taken the lead. Then the lot took things
easy and passed the judges for the first
time in II ~ seconds, Song and Dance
leading by three-fOurths of length. DOM
inc second by length, Sir Walter third
by neck, and Rubicon. Declare and Lag
zarone following. Then came the sharp
turn at the paddock, and when the jock
eys steadied their mounts as they round
ed Song and Dance took it little easier,
while Declare gained bit, Sir Walter
falling off into worse position. The first
quarter was run in % seconds, and Song
and Dance was only leading by a head,
with Domino second, length in front of
Declare, third, and Rubicon. Sir Walter
reached in 0.51 with Song and Dance only
a neck in front of Sir Walter. he half a
length in front of Domino, who was a
head in front of Rubicon, Declare and
LazzarOne following. Taral had not yet
made a move on Domino and had calmly
seen Sir Walter pass him. The pace
was so slow that Dominic was getting just
what it was supposed he wanted, an easy
run at the first and sprint at the end.
The fve-eighths pole caught Sir Walter
gaining. DOggett had him extended and
was trying to get him away as, far as he
could without urging, and as they ran by
the pole he was a length in front of Song
and Dance, he in front of Domino, who
was head in front of RubicOn, with De
clare fifth and Lazzarone sixth.
The time to the three-quarters was LII
and Sir Walter was a length ahead of
Domino, he head in front of Rubicon,
who was neck in front of Song and
Dance, Declare next and Lazzerone last.
On went Sir Walter and soon two lengths
separated him from the rest of the field.
Hamilton on LaZZarOne came to the con-
cluSiOn that Sir Waiter was the horse he
had to beat, so he let out a link and gave
chase. He cut down Delaware and then
Song and Dance and then got fourth place
at the seven-eights pole. RubicOn was
only neck in front of him. Domino only
a head further away, while DOggett was
working on Sir Walter two lengths in
font of all. Sir Walter wins, was the cry,
and it did indeed look as if such might be
the case. The turn into the stretch with
only a quarter of mile to go was close at
hand and all the jockeys were hard at
work.

lengths around the turn, but Lazzarone
had crept up to Domino and was only a
short time behind. The mile was passed
in 1.42.
Look at LazzaOne," was then the cry.
He was coming after Sir Walter Like a
whirlwind and poor Domino was now COM
pleteiy used up. LazZarone left him as
if he We're standing still, and then there
was great play of whips and spurs. 1t
was of no use to urge Doggett or his
mount to further effort, for Hamilton had
the better horse under him and inch by
inch he crept away from his rival. First
neck, then q half length and then day
light showed between them as they bound
ed along, and just as the watches of the
timers stopped at POI As, Lazzarone
passed the wire, a length and a half in
front of Sir Walter. Domino, however
was doomed to still further humiliation
for in the last few jumps Song and Dance
took third place away from him, while
Declare and Rubicon were four length:
behind him. 1t was q true run race anC
the best horse at the weights won it.
