NEW YORK, June 2S-Henry of Ma
varre is surely himself again, for in the
fast time of 2:O7 he won the suburban to-
day from some of the best horses in
training and did it with consummate
ease. For some unknown reason, he was
second choice to Clifford in the betting,
and from the time they left the post I'm
I'll they had finished there was little
doubt of the result 1t was a. grand vic
tory in true run race, and August Bel
mont has another victory added to his al
ready long string. To win the suburban
has been one of the aims of every horse
owner, and to see the race run has ap-
parently been the great desire of not
only the race going public, but of almost
every sport.
Great as has been the crowd at the track
at other days it always remains for the
suburban TO bring out
The GREAT MASSES OF PEOPLE.
This year was no exception to the rule.
The day is almost always a fine one, and
the track is almost always good, and in
that, TOO, today followed tradition.
Standing in the inner field and looking
toward the grand stand IL was a sight
worth seeing. Every seat on the first
and second floors of the structure was
occupied and up TO the roof there was
nothing but standing room. AT last, at
ten minutes after o'clock the bugle
and the swarm came out of the place
where the layers of odds had congregat-
ed to find places as best they could, and

seemed TO care for them.
HENRY OF NAVARRO

Clifford considerable while Nankipooh
had few friends. 1t was evident Navarro
was the popular favorite, although the
betting men had calculated that he
would be beaten by Clifford. At the post,
Starter Flynn was waiting for them and
after a few words of caution to the
jockeys, got them in line for the start.
All were in the best temper except The
Conmoner, who was ugly and fractions.
Flynn waited until the western candi-
date had settled down and when he saw
on and come en- they did, passing
him in almost perfect line. 1t
WAS A BEAUTIFUL START,
all well placed with no possibility for
complaint about the top weights being
kept standing until they were tired. The
bunch swept past the grand stand at a
good speed, with Belmar shade in ad-
vance of the others. Passing the Judge S
stand for the first time, the furlonS be-
ing covered in l21s seconds, Hornpipe led
the way only a neck in front OF Sir
Walter, who was a neck in front of Ma
varre, he a, head in front of Belmar, with
others close up. Then came the furlong
around the lower turn, which was cover
ed in y seconds, Hornpipe showing the
way by length, with The Commoner,

fourth by a length AS they straighte ned

sent The Ccmmoner up beside Hornpipe.
From the top of the grand stand it was
a beautiful sight. They passed the three

start, with Hornpipe and The Commoner
side by side a length and a half in front
of Sir Walter and Navarro, they a length
