NEW YORK June 10.-With the Sub
urban the greatest of the turf prizes,
only a few days away. now the attention
of the racing world naturally turns to
the great race.
IT Will be worthy of its predecessors,
unless all signs fail. and the best horses
in training will be sent for the Blue
Ribbon of the American turf Beldame,
now rounding into something Of her old
form: Delhi, winner of the Brooklyn;
Sysonby. who ran a dead heat in the
Metropolitan; Tanya, who annexed the
rich Belmont Stakes; Garnish, Proper,
English Lad. Graziallo, Alan-a-Dale.
Abdell. and half score of others are
likely to be starters.
Three Suburban candidates have so
far incurred penalty for that race Delhi.
originally weighted at 123, takes up three
pounds for his Brooklyn success. Syson-
by takes up eight pounds for his dead
heat in the Metropolitan. bringing his
impost up to Ia BY winning the Bel
mont Tanya picks up the extreme pen

carry III If she goes to the post for the
Sheepshead Bay classic.
z. E. Smathers will have a represen
tative in the Suburban. He bought what
many discriminating students of cl..ss

1t is to be regretted that Burgomaster,
