Finish. With STR Walter and Song
and Dance Second and Third.


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 at
Sheepshead Bay. The track and grounds
were as bright they could be 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 ever in the race. At 9
CLOCK the gatekeepers had all they could
attend to TO let the crowds in at the gate
When the time for the running of the big
race came a typical Suburban crowd was
present, and the lawn was as we'll packed
as the grand stand. At five minutes past
o'clock the horses cantered up past the
grand stand TO the starting post, but, I'M
IKE former years. there was very little en-
thusiasm- y few applauded Domino and
Iaral, but when Sir Walter and Doggett
appeared there was considerable hand clap
ping. Apparently the game little son of
Midlothian was the sentimental favorite
even though he was bad second choice in
the betting. The others got little attention
and In short time the six contenders were
ready for the word The delay at the post
was but trifing, 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; Domino
third. Sir Walter fourth. Lazzarone fifth
and Rubicon sixth. Domino was on the out
side and Tarel 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 for the first time in 121a

Lazzarone had crept up TO DOM

mile was passed in 1:42.
Look at IaZZarone, was then the cry.
He was coming after Sir Walter like a
whirlwind, and poor Domino was now COM

he were standing still. and then there was
a great play of whips and, spurs 1t was
of no use to urge Doggett or his mount to

would come TO an end under the new bet

when they saw the ring to-day. There
were fifty bookmakers and each was kept
busy calling names 10 his sheet-writer.
The chief interest among the bookmakers
and spectators outside OF horses centered
. in quiet. but business-iike young man.
