New York, June 1S.-Tillo first, and
the great Ornament nowhere, was the
record of the suburban of 1898. The ia
vcrite was badly beaten, chiefly because
the horses were kept a full hour at the
oczt.
When the bugle called the contenders
to the post, there was but little uaoc-
| cupied space in the grand stand, on the
! roof or lawn. 1t was almosG 4:30 O'Clock
when the IL candidates were in the
| hands of Starter Fitzgerald, and then
| came a wearisome wait. After several
false starts, finally all came down to-
gether, and they were off on their jour-
hey, exactly one hour after they. had
reached the starting point. Tillo was
| quickest on his feet, and for an instant
kis mu=z.e showed in front, but the
willy Clayton took him back to fifth po-
sition. Royal Stag came next, followed
by Havoc, Ogden, Don de ORC, OTna-
meDt and the others. They did not
settle down TO work until they had
PASSED the end of the first quarter, and
it could easily be seen that the jockeys
all had waiting orders.
AS the horses slaughtered out on
the back stretch, Doggett sent Royal
Stag w a little nearer Ogden and
Peep O'Day and Imp. moved up too,
so that as they passed the half mile
role in that order, they were heads
apart. Tillo was still in fifth place, at
tended by Don de ORC, Havoc and Or
nament. but the latter seemed to be
overpowered by the weight he was car
rying. Ben Holiday, too, was in the
rear, while the rest had long been
hanging out signals of distress The
sole exception was Semper Ego, who
was doing we'll in the rear, but seemed
to be 2ocketed.
AS they neared the three-quarter
pole, Hamilton urged Ogden, and as
they flashed past the mark he was a
length to the good Imp. showed her
head in front of Royal Stag, while
Clayton moved Tillo into fourth place.
Ornament was actually in last place,
and Sloan was driving for all he was
worth. 1t was only a short distance
hCme. and there seemed TO be no chance
Coz him 10 via.
Foot by foot Ornament cut down the
lead of the others, and when he lad
worked his way up to eighth place,
Sloan evidently saw it was useless,
and gave uD very badly ridden race.
1t was but a short drive around the
turn, and then their noses were in the
stretch, with Ogden a length in front.
Clayton, on Tillo, had moved uD into
second place, crowding past Imp, who
was about ready to stop. AS they
Strengthened out for home, Little Ma
her, on SsmDer Ego, began TO thread
his way through the maze of flying
hoofs, and almost before the others
knew it, he was overhauling them rap
id!-'.
There was but furIong to go, and
Ogden began to Waver. In few strides
Tillc had the front rank, and it could
be plainly seen that it was all over. he
passed the wire half length in frost
of Semper Ego, who had saatched the /
second place away from Ogden in the |
last few strides. through the good rid
ing of Maher. Don de ORC was bad 4
fourth, and the others were beaten off. /
