and was in doubt up to the last few
strides. The handicapping was especially
good, proven by the fact that the top
weight won, a middle-weighted horse fin
ished second, and lightweight third.
Ben Brush, the favorite, was well ridden
by Jockey Willie Sims. 1t Is the first time
in the history of the suburban that 1t has
been won by either of the Dryers, yet both
have tried innumerable times. To say that
! 1t was a popular victory is putting it mild
ly. The spectators resembled crowd of
mad folks, screaming, shouting, swearing
ard whistling, when Sims was hoisted in
the floral chair.
Never before in the history of a horse
race was there such a turnout of fashion.
Every box had been sold by Monday morn
irg. and every box was filled when the
starters called the horses to the post for
the first race.
1t required a mighty effort to get within
the human wall which inclcsed the book
makers. but when it came to getting out
of that tightly compact compartment the
feat was one which discouraged every man
who had not been thoroughly trained by his
wife in the hard school of bargain counters.

up. showing this way and that, threatening
at every moment to GUST the bookies from
their stools, forcing the prices up and down
when they got near enough to a stand to
exchange money, and swaying back and
forward as il controlled by the force which
sent the waves in and out on the ocean
beach a few rods away. The man who
came out Of that busy hive knew he had
been to the horse races.
The play principally fell between Ben
Brush, Pittsburg Phirs stable, Havoc and
Lake Shore. The latter seemed to be the
public fancy. There was also a good COM
mission on Dutch Skater and Havoc. the
latter's stable being made more confident
by the hollow victory Of On Deck in the
second race.
