thrift-Spina way.

New York, June 15.-Better weather than
to-day's could not have been desired for the
running of the Suburban, for 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 Sleeps
head Bay
At five minutes past four the horses
cantered up past the stand to the starting
post, but, unlike former years, there was
little enthu siasm.
The delay at the post was but trifling
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 aud Dance second, Domino
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 sex q fair pace and gave
cnase for Song and Dance, who had taken
the lead. Then the lot took things easy
and passed the judges for the first time in
II 1-2 seconds, Song and Dance leading
by three parts OF length, ID oInino secondly
length, Sir Walter third by a neck, and
Rubicon, Declare and LaZZarone following
DECLARE MOVES UP.
Then came the sharp turn at the pad
dock, and, with the jockeys steadying
their mounts as they rounded, Song and
Dance took it a little easier, while De-
clare gained a bit, Sir Walter falling
off into worse position. The first quar-
ter was run in seconds, and Song and
Dance was only leading by a head, with
Domino second, a lergth in front of De-
clare third, and Rubicon, Sir Walter and
LaZzarone following.
haI T,nI IN, II
with Song and Dance only neck in
front Of Sir Walter, he half length in
front of Domino, who was a head in front
OF RubiCon, Declare and LaZZarone follow
ing Teral had not yet made move on
Domino and had calmly seen Sir Walter
pass him. The pace was so slow that
Domino was getting just what it was
supposed he wanted, an easy run at first
and sprint at the end.
At the five -eighths pole Sir Walter
was gaining. Doggett had him extended
then and was trying to get away as far as
he could without urging, and as they ran
by the pole he was a head in front of
Song and Dance, he q length in front of
Domino, Who was a head in front of
Ruhicon, with Declare fifth and LaZzarone
sixth. The time to the three-quarters was
1:17, and Sir Walter was length ahead
of Domino. he head in front of Rubicon,
who was q neck in front of Song and
Dance, Declare next, and Lazzarone last
DOMINO TIRE RES AWAY.
On Went Sir Walter, and soon two lengths
separated him from the rest of the field
1t was high time Domino showed some
thing II he was equal to winning, but
Taral's urging could do no good The
distance was too much for the speedy son
of Himyar, and his stride got shorter and
he was laboring. A quick glance over
his shoulder showed Doggett one Of his
chief rivals was in difficulties and appar-
emily not to be feared.
He was not the only one who saw it,
FOR Hamilton on LaZZarone came to the
conclusion that Sir Walter was the horse
he had to beat, and he let out link and
gave chase. He cut down Declare and
then Song and Dance, and got into fourth
place at the seven-eighths pole. Rubicon
was only neck in front of him, Domino
only head further away, while Doggett
was working. on Sir Walter two lengths
in front 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
Sir Walter maintained his lead of two
lengths around the turn, but Lazzarone had
crept up to Domino and was only q short
head behind.
Itwas all over as far as Rgbicon was con-
cerned, for he had dropped back to fifth
place, Song and Dance passing him while
Declare was last. This was the position
as they passed the mile pole in 1:42
aud began the final rush for the coveted
prize.
BEST HORSE WINS.
LOOK at LazZarone!' was then the cry.
He was coming after Sir Walter like a whirl-
wind. and poor Domino was now completely
used up. LaZzarone left him as if ho were
standing still and there was great play of
whips and spurs. 1t was OF no use to urge
his mount to further efforts, for Hamilton
