Sullivan stood together looking in vain for

The Suburban Handicap. which will be
run tomorrow, was widely discussed be-
tween races yesterday. 1t was learned that
the owners OF the Newcastle Stable had been
negotiating for some time for the purchase
of Beacon Light from II. p. Headley to carry
the stables colors In the big race. but that no
price could be agreed upon. IL may turn
ont that the Newcastle Stable or p. j. Rainey
may lease the running qualities OF the Star
Shoot colt between now and Tomorrow.

cap. In spite of her defeat by Cabochon on
Monday. the Newcastle Stables Running

Durnells Sealon worked q mile and a furlonR
yesterday for the Suburban In 1856 and is fit.
But Dnrnell. when asked skou. his colts
chances, said that he thought Dandeliou
might win, although he admitted that the
three-year-olds Electioneer, Montgomery,
supermAn and Veil would all prove dangerous.
II the weather is pleasant IL is believed that
nearly $1,000 persons will see the big race
tomorrow at the Bay.
Gallant Dan. a three-year-old colt by In
spector B.-Balance ANIL. who started In the !
second race, met with an accident that may
result In his death, 1t is said that as the :
colt was racing around the lower turn Faust
Jumped on him. AT any rate. Sandy quickly
pulled Gallant Dan up. and leaping out Of the
saddle he found that the colt had one Of his J
LEMONS nearly cut In two. At first It was
planned 10 shoot the colt on the spot. but
later It was decided TO make an attempt to !
save him. The injury was 30 severe. how |
ever. that a vet. said that recovery was 1
practically out of the question. Gallant Dan G
won a race on Monday for Jack MoGinnis. but (
he was bought out Of the race by J. L. Madden, '
