The San Francisco call., 1905-06-16

NEW YORK, June 15-Beldame was
crowned queen of the American turf
when she won the twenty-second Subur-
ban handicap, and the richest, this after
noon at Sheepshead Bay. The grand
four-year-old daughter of Octagon and
Belladonna, wearing the scarlet jacket of
August Belmont, lowered the colors of J.
r. Keene's Delhi almost without being
extended until near the end Of the one
and a quarter miles journey. A great
crowd witnessed the race. Probably two
thirds of those in thA grand stand were
women. The weather was perfect.
The running cf the first half of the Dou-
BILE Event for two-year-olds was prelim-
mary to the Suburban. The Double stake
is worth $4,000. The Western colt George
G. Bennett, owned by Frederick Cook
won the event. Then the crowd prepared
for the decision of Americas blue-ribbon
turf event. There was little trouble at
the post, the field having been reduced to
eleven horses by the withdrawal of Grazi-
alIo. Delhi jumped into the lead at the
start, with Beldame at his heels and Ad-
bell close behind. They passed the first
quarter post in that order. Delhi quickly
opened up gap Of two lengths and held
1t throughout the first mile. The favor
parently easy path to victory, but their
cheers of encouragement were turned to
dismay when the Keene colors began to
lag and Burns drew his whip on the ia
vorite. This was a sign to the spectators
that Delhi had begun to tire. AS he
swung around into the stretch Beldame
drew up and passed him The Ben Brush
colt relaxed his efforts once the mare
came alongside, and he fell back hope

Proper at his side. AS In all his races.
the Jennings colt came through with a
great rush and secured second place. The
winner was received with wild applause
when she trotted back to the judges
stand, and her victory was extremely
popular. ONeill rode four winners Only
once before has the Suburban been won
by a mare. That was in 1S9o by the great
