BIG RACE TOMORROW
ONE OF THE EASTERN CLASSICS.
Famous Suburban at the Coney Is- land Jockey Clubs sheepshead
 Bay Track When Spencer Will Probably Ride Conroy.

Tomorrow will be decidedly the great est day of the 1901 season on the run ming turf in the East, the Suburban will be run at Sheeps- head Bay in New York. Be- sides this there will also be a match between Mir. Whitney's Ally, Blue Girl, and Nasturtium, considered one of the best 2-year-old Allies of the year in the East.
 speaking of these two events at Sheepshead a New York paper has the following:
 Talk of the Suburban and its possible result is now the order of the day in the turf world. This classic racing event will take place Saturday at Sheepshead Bay. There will be good field, although a number of popular horses will be absent. At the present time it is thought the following will be among the starters: Ethelbert, Con- roy, Batten, Standing, Prince of Mel bourne, Alcedo, Sidney Lucas. Gulden, Charentus, Beau Gallant, Brigadier. King Bramble, Decanter, Bonnibert Watercure, Kamara, Bellario, Blues, Al Gold and Alsike.
 Since the remarkable victory of Con- roy in the Brooklyn handicap, the crack Keene Swear old has been trifle lame, dS tHc ICSull OL StCPPihB OAA O ctOihN while galloping couple of weeks ago. He has been getting we'll rapidly, and Is now perfectly sound. For winning the Brooklyn Handicap .Conroy will carry a ten-pound impost. This pen atty, however, will enable Spencer to have the mount which will be big item in the calculations.
 The sensationally fast work of Ethel bert last week and his brilliant race in the Standard Stakes Monday, at Gravesend leads well-posted turfmen to believe that he will be big favorite in the race. Batten has not been seen in public this season, but his owner, s. s. Brown, is confident he has the winner. Dick Roche's splendid colt, Standing, is much fancied, if the track Is dry and fast. He ran third in the Brooklyn in & sea of mud and on a track directly opposite to his liking.
 Sidney Lucas has been racing stead fly without much rest, and 1t is hard to figure him a dangerous factor. MT. Mackay's Gulden has made but one appearance this year. That was in the Brooklyn, when he carried six more pounds than he will shoulder in the Suburban. Experts figure Brigadier out of it before he starts. Decanter has done some fast work in private, DuI SIOhST 5 DCdu Gdlldht ue1S been a disappointment all the season. Kamara has rounded into her old form. Alcedo is in good condition. Blues is not as fit as when he raced after Con- mando in the Carleton Stakes. and King Bramble, Alsike and All Gold have been racing steadily and do not "cut much ice' in the general figuring
 The question of supremacy between the 2-year-olds will also be decided Saturday. Blue Girl and Nasturtium are considered the two best youngsters shown this season in the East. They will meet in the Double Event. which is worth $10,000, and which will also serve as an appetizer to the Suburban The pair met in the Great American Stakes at Gravesend last Saturday, and Blue Girl was the winner. Garrigan who rode Nasturtium, claimed a rou after the race, which was not allowed To number of reporters after the race | Garrigan claimed that Burns dashed | him across the face with a whip, but | he did not make a charge of persona assault against Burns to the stewards | but merely a charge of alleged fou riding.
 After cooling off somewhat Garrigar stated to a number of friends tha Burns did not strike him, but that hi: face was bruised by coming in contac
 with Nasturtium's head as the colt re
 covered from her stumble. Whethe
 Garrigan was trying to shield Burn
 or not 1t does not matter, but his state
 ment that he did not carry the alleged
 assault before the stewards exonerate | them.
 It Is believed if Blue Girl continue
 to show in front of the class for 2-year
 old Allies her owners, w. c. Whitne.
 and J. E. Madden, may send her t.
