DISIABILLE RUNS FIRST AT GRAVESEND,
WINNING MYRTLE STAKES CLEVERLY.
Bay Race Lacks
Class Owing to Many
Withdrawals.
Dandelion Is the Public Choice
in the Overnight
Wagering.

NEW YORK, June 20-With only
eleven horses named to start, the TWEEN
ty-third Suburban handicap of $4,000
will be run at Sheepshead Bay tomor-
row The Suburban presents striking
evidences of the disappointments that
have attended the present racing sea-
son. Fifty-three of the best horses in
training. with ill-starred Sysonby at
the head of the list, were entered for
this years blue ribbon event at Sleeps
head Bay. the most favored. of New
York racing courses. That but eleven
horses are named as contestants the
night before the race, and that all but
two or three of these horses should
have been contesting only for the
smaller handicap purses all season with
Indifferent success. would seem to
promise but an ordinary contest to-
morrow.
The Brooklyn handicap winner, To-
kalon, is named to go, however. as well
as Dandelion, the clever Hitchcock
four-year-old. which ran second in the
Brooklyn. Dandelion has had a good
rest since that time in preparation for
the Suburban, and is the popular choice
tonight for that event. His chances
are strengthened by the fact that the
June meeting at Sheepshead Bay will
probably open with a fast track.
The second-choice play tonight is di-
vided between Cairngorm and Go Be
tween, the latter's clever win under ad-
verse circumstances at Gravesend Tues
day gaining him many supporters.
Cairngorm will share with Tokalon the
second highest weight in the field, 119
pounds. Proper, the Jennings candi-
date. and possessing about as much
class as any horse on the field, will go
to the post with whatever honor may
attach to the top weight in this years
Suburban. His impost is 122 pounds.
Despite this, his chances will be fam
cied by many.
Traditions disappointing showing at
Gravesend last Saturday has resulted in
her withdrawal from the Suburban,
although she is named to go in the six
furlong sprint which is second on to-
morrows card. Following are the
starters, jockeys and probable odds:

Finds strong Opposition I'm senate.
WASHINGTON. June 2O.-In an effort
to bring about an adjournment of Con-
sress next week, the Senate today held
its first night session and considered
exclusively the Sundry Civil Appropria-
tion bill. All of the committee amend
ments were agreed to until the one an
propriating $4,000 to pay the travelling
expenses of the President was reached.
Senator McLaurin asked If the amend
ment had been considered by any COM
mittee and whether there is any law
TO authorize the payment of the Presi-
dents travelling expenses.
In reply Senator Hale said the
amendment was considered and ordered
reported by the committee on appro-
priations
1T is new legislation. and I make a
point of order against it. said Nc
Laurin. II do not think there is any
law authorizing it and if adopted it
will put new law on the statute
books"
In further opposition to the amend
ment Mr.. McLaurin started to address
the Senate. when Vice President Fair
banks said debate was not in order
and he was prepared to rule on the
point of order.
Let US have ruling" said Senator's
Lodge, Hale and number OF others,
In unison. The chair is of the opinion
that the point of order is not well
taken and Overrules the point of ORDER
said the Vice President.
Then / appeal from the chair and
would like to have the ayes and noes"
said McLaurin.
Senator Clay asked McLaurin to
withdraw his demand on the ground
that there was not a quorum present,
and roll call would compel an ad-
jOurnment.
The amendment is of such an out
rageous character that 1 do not think
IL should pass under any circum-
stances" retOrted McLaurin
When it became evident that his op-
position was unalterable. the amend
ment was passed over at the request

clubhouse contingent played Ormondes
Right from to 1 down to to and
sent him to the post favorite. The race
was merely an exercise canter Tor
