Entries for the Suburban.

New York, June 14-Tomorrow will
be the opening day of the Coney Island
Jockey clubs spring meeting and the
attraction on the program VIII be the
historic suburban, the greatest equine
contest of the racing year. The Subur-
ban this year is of less value than ever
before. This was made necessary by
the uncertainty that surrounded racing
when the stake was offered However
the horse owner does not value the
Suburban for its money. 1t is the glo-
ry and honor of winning this great
handicap that is coveted.
Following are the entries, weights and
probable Jockeys: Sir Waller, 12s, Dog
cett; Domino, 123, Taral; RubicOn, 1f9,
w. Midgely; LaZZarone, rs, l. Murphy;
Sister Mary, lis. Hamilton; Declare,
los, J. Lamley; Song and Dance, 80,
Griffin.
The withdrawal of Ramapo has been
a great factor in the decrease of in
terest in. the race. OF the seven re-
naming entries three are confessedly
out only for second or third money
Song and Dance is the light weight
of the party, having 10 take up but 90
pounds, although with Griffin in his
saddle he viii have to carry several
pounds overweight.
Declare was only decided upon as a
starter after Ramapa had been scratch
ed, Mr.. Dwyer thinking that he had a
fair chance to be third, at least, and
if the track should happen to be wet.
there is no telling where he might land.
Rubicon has not shown his ability so
go the distance thus far and Mcdonald
has hopes of one of the places after the
winner. Sister Mary is a most erratic
performer and so far in the east has not
shown that she belongs in the class
with the others This leaves Sir Wal
4 rtan,
likely contenders Sir Walter is the
top weight but he has time and time
again shown his ability to carry weight
and win in fast company over a dis
lance of ground. He is one of the gam
est horses that ever looked through
bride and can be depended upon to
exert every ounce OF strength before
he gives uD.
Lazzarone was the second horse in
the Brooklyn handicap and takes lis
pounds. This is two more pounds than
he carried then and ii should not make
any difference to him. He was a dis
appointment to his owner after that
race, for he ran twice and was nowhere
Since then he has had a rest and may
do better, but he was always an uncer-
tain beast. If Isaac Murphy will only
ride with as good judgment as he did
in the Brooklyn handicap, Lazzarone
is by no means out Of the race, for, he
too, can go a distance.
Domino is the other and the oddS-on
favorite. He has to take up 123 pounds
with Taral on his back According 10
his work he looks to be assure winner
and few of the trainers at the track
are willing to concede his defeat. The
few who have pinned their faith to Sir
Walter and LazZarone declare Domino
is nothing but Splinter. Mr.. Keene
seems sure that his horse will win and
the trainer, William Lakeland, will not
allow any talk of defeat on Domino.
Domino has raced but three times in
his life at over mile and did not cover
himself with glory either time. Domi-
no is in tight box, for if he sets hot
pace he will have Sir Walter and LaZ-
Zarone to contend with at the end, and
if it is a slow pace, then Rubicon may
give him trouble.
