Nobody Thinks 1t Necessary to Run the
Race Except as a Matter Of Form, but
Lazzarone Shows 'Em--Domino is Sup

ishes Fourth with Sir Walter Second and
| Song and Dance Third--Lazzarone's
Work Done I'm the Stretch--Not Much
Popular Enthusiasm Manifested.
| New York, June 15.-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 and
| although the sun was hot, cooling
! breeze swept across the grand stand
and down the stretch al Sheepshead
! Bay. In spite Of the fact that the SUI
| burban was supposed to be at the
mercy OF Domino and the starters on
~ hundred six, there was as much in
terest as ever in the race.
When the time came for the running
| OF the big race, typical suburban
crowd was present and the lawn was
as well packed as the grand stand
AT hve minutes past four the horses
cantered up past the grand stand to
the starting post, but, unlike former
years. there was very little enthusiasm.
A few applauded Domino and Taral,
ana when Sir Walter and Doggett ap-
peared there was considerable hand
cIapplng. Apparently the game little
son OF Midlothian was the sentimental
favorite, although he was a bad sec
ond-choice in the betting. The others
got little attention, and in a short time,
4 n low =, g.. Il
word. The delay at the post was but
triffiing and without any false breaks.
Rowe got them in line. The red flag
| swisned, the crowd shouted and the
race was begun. In the first few
jumps Declare led the way with Song
and Dance second, Domino third, Sir
Walter fourth, Lazzarone fifth and
Rubicon sixth. Domino was on the out
side and Taral wanted TO get up with
the leaders, so he set a 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 1215 seconds,
Song and Dance leading by three parts
of a length, Domino second by length:
Sir Waiter third by neck and Rubi-
con. Declare and Lazzarone following.
Ihen came the sharp turn at the pad
dock, and with the jockeys steadying
their mounts as they came around.
Song and Dance took ii a little easier.
while Declare gained a bit. Sir Walter
raining off into a worse position. The
first quarter was run in % and Song
and Dance was only leading by a head,
with Domino second a length in front
or Declare, third, and Rubicon, Sir
Walter and LaZzarone following The
half was reached in 81 with Song and
Dance only a neck in front o. Sir
Walter, he half length in frcbt of
Domino, who was a head in front Of
Rubicon. Declare and LaZzarone fol-
lowing.
Tarat had not yet madethe move on
Domino and had calmly seen Sir Wal
ter pass him. Pace was so slow that
Domino was getting just what it was
supposed he wanted-an easy run at
frst-and squirt in the end At the
fve-eighths pole. Sir Walter was gain
ing.
Doggett had him extended then and
was trying to get him away as far as
ne could without urging and as they
ran by the pole he was a length ahead
OF Song and Dance, he in front of
Domino. who was ahead ahead of Rub
icon with Declare fifth ard Lazzarone
sixth. The time to the three-quarters
was 117 and Sir Walter was length
ahead of Domino. he ahead in front of
Rubicon, who was neck in front of
Song and Dance, Declare next and
LaZZarone last
On went Sir Walter and soon two
lengths separated him from the rest
of the field. Hamilton on LaZZarone
came 10 the conclusion that Sir Walter
was the horse he had to beat, so he let
out link and gave chase. He cut
down Declare and then Song ana
Dance and then got into fourth place
at the seven-eighths pole. Rubicon
was only a neck in front of him, Dom
mo only a head further away, while
Doggett was working on Sir Walter,
two lengths in front of all. "Sir Wal |
ter wins" was the cry. and it did in
deed look as il such might be the case
The turn into the stretch with only a
quarter of a mile to go was close at |
hand and all the Jockeys were hard at
work Sir Walter maintained his load |
LaZzarone had crept up to Domino and !
was only a short head behind. The |
mile was passed in /: 80.
Look at LazZarone" was then the !
cry. He was coming after Sir Walter |
like whirlwind and poor Domino was |
now completely used UP. LazZarone |
left him as if he were standing still /
and there was a great play of whips /
and spurs. 1t was of no use TO urge /
Doggett or his mount to further eff |
forts, for Hamilton had the better
horse under him and inch by inch he |
crept away from his rival. First a
neck, then half a length and then day
light showed between them as they
bounded along, and just as the watches
Of the timers stopped at 2:01 10, LaZ-
zarone was passing the wire a length
and a half in front of Sir Walter Dom
no. however, was doomed TO still fur
-her humiliation, for in the last few
Jumps Song and Dance took thOi
place away from him, while Declare
md Rubicon were four lengths behind
him. 1t was a true run race and the
best horse at the weights won IL.
