the ruck. First Mason, in a nice position all
the way, slipped into second place, but was
passed in the last few jumps by Proper
Beldame's victory was comparatively an easy
one after Delhi had been disposed of. Jockey
ONeill distinguished himself by winning four
races, one of which was the Suburban. O'Neill
used his whip freely in the finish on Beldame.

in front.
The winner was received with wild applause
when she trotted back to the judges stand. and
her victory was extremely popular. Only once
before has the Suburban been won by mare
That was in 1899, when Imp occupied the place
now given to Beldame.
