NEW YORK, June 21.-Alexander
Shields five-year-old Meddler-Indigo
geldng Go Between, carrying 116
pounds and third choice at to 1, won
the 100000 suburban handicap today.
One of the largest crowds that ever
witnessed the event was at the Sleeps
head bay course of the Coney Island
Jockey club.
Go Between was but a short head i'm
front of f. r. Hitchcocks four-year-
old Hamburg colt Dandelon, who was
equal favorite i'm betting with Cairn-
gorm at 3 to 1. Colonial Girl, backed
from 20 to to was third, three lengths
behind the first two horses and the
same distance i'm front of the field.
The finish was a terrific drive, Go
Between catching Dandelion at the six
teenth and fighting 1t out head and
head to the wire. Shaw, on the winner,
outlode Miller. AS the two leaders
rushed past the stand the 10000 or more
enthusiastic spectators rose to their
feet and wildly shouted encouragement.
There was delay of ten minutes at the
post, due to the bad behavior of Proper
and Colonial Girl. When the barrier
was raised Proper was turned Sideways.
He bumped Cairngorm and interfered
seriously with the latter's chances in
the early part of the race. This Incl

Leaders Set Fast Pace
Cederstrome and Astronomer rushed
away into the lead with Dandelion
third. Around the paddock turn and
into the backstretch Cederstrome OPEN
ed up a>gap of three lengths. Go Be
tween was in the bunch and Colonial
Girl was trailing in the ruck. Coming
out of the back stretch Cederstrome
had begun to tire and the entire field
closed up, so that seven or eight
lengths covered the distance from the
leader to last horse
Sweeping into the stretch Dandelion
was leading by a length, Cederstrome
was falling back but Cairngorm, Dolly
Spanker and Tokalon were to be reck-
oned with. And behind these was Go
Between with Shaw sitting still in the
saddle. The gelding's stretch running
qualities are well known. Once the
horses had Strengthened Shaw let his
mount have his head. In q few jumps
Go Between had passed all but the fly
ing Dandelion, and running straight
and true was going away to the end.
Colonial Girl Drops to Third Place
Colonial Girl dropped into third place
from nowhere. The others finished in
the following ORDER:
Agile, Tokalon, Proper Dolly Spank
er, Kuroki, Cairngorm, Astronomer,
Cederstrome and Oxford. The time was
2:05 is, the record, 2:05, being made by
Hermis in 1904.
Dandelion has been an unfortunate
horse this years. He was beaten but
length in the Metropolitan handicap, a
neck in the Brooklyn handicap and a
head in the Suburban.
Apart from the Suburban, interest
centered in the running of the first part
of the double event, one of the richest
of the two -year-old stakes. Water
Pearl, the unbeaten Paget colt, was
held at to Z, but was soundly whipped
by James r. keene's Ballot.
