SUGGESTIVE OF SCANDAL. The Way Lazzarone Won the Suburban Yesterday. HIS FORM SAID TO BE FALSE
 
And as High as 20 to 1 Was to Be Had by
 the Knowing.
DOMINO FAILED TO GET EVEN A PLACE
Sir Walter Was Game. But to No Avail. All in All the Suburban Was the Poorest in the His
 tory ofthe Race.

Sheepshead Bay, L. T., June 15.-The twelfth Suburban handicap was won by Lazzarone at Sheepshead Bay today in the presence of 15,OOO spectators. Dom ino. the 1 to favorite, failed at the dis tance and finished fourth.
 Lazzarone's victory was too thrilling a reversal of form to gain popular ap- proval. It was decidedly in line with his performance in the Brooklyn handi- cap. He has started twice at Gravesend since he ran second to Hornpipe for the Bookiyn handicap. In neither race did he show either speed or staying powers. A few suspiciously inclined persons re- fused to believe that his form was true. His race today proved that they were right. Had he done his level best in his two previous races he would have been supported to beat Sir Walter today.
 The stewards of the meeting had an informal discussion as to Lazzarone's performances. Nothing definite was done, but it is more than likely that the matter will be placed in the hands of the Jockey club for action. A thorough in vestigation will be made, and the owner, trainer and jockey will have to explain the horses wretched races at Gravesend.
 Lazzarone runs in the name of the Erie stables. Frank Beard owns the horse and w. Donohoe trains him. In his three previous races Isaac Murphy rode him. Hamilton piloted him today.
 The field of six were dispatched with out unnecessary delay. Declare wore himself out cutting out the work for the first half mile. He then yielded the posi- tion of honor to Sir Walter, who took decisive lead and piloted the field to within a sixteenth of the finishing line.
 Lazzarone, who had taken matters very easily all the way, then challenged hin. A brief struggle ensued. After little urging, Lazzarene came away from Sir Walter and won well within himself by length and a half Sir Walter was game to the last gasp. He struggled nobly, but was unable to give eleven pounds to Lazzarone. He had to be con tent 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 difficulty before they had gone mile. Taral kept him under stout pull until the far turn was reached. He then tried to close up on Sir Walter, but Domino was unequal to the task. His race was almost a repe- tition of the three-cornered special at the Morris park fall meeting, when Henry Of Navarro and Clifford beat him. It established one fact and that is that Domino is sprfnter, pure and simple.
 The bookmakers were hard hit. The odds against Domino were too short to suit the average better and Sir Walter WdS OdChtQ lO get the Dldce ana DOnlnO was ignored. A select few loaded every big book up with Lazzarone commits Sions. They got from 20 to 10 to 1 for their money. It is estimated that Beard and his confederates won several for tuns.
 A pin could have been heard to fall as Lazzarone swept past the post Rubieon ran strictly in accordance with his latest GraVesend form. He is not at his best by any means so far this season.
 The twelfth suburban will live long in the history of the turf even though the scandal blows over, as one of the poor est ever ran. The field was the smallest and the calibre of the horses engaged was of the lowest possible order. The weather was delightful, and despite Lag zarone's kaleidtscopic change of form a most enjoyable days racing was wit messed. Summarizes:
