NEW YORK, June 21-Nealon a west

by Jockey w. Dugan, and quoted at 20 to
l, won the great Suburban handicap at
Sheepshead Bay yesterday. Montgomery

is a four ear-old, by Sain out Of Sister
Josephine, and was bred in Missouri by
Barney Schneider. He was coupled with
Faust in the betting, and his victory was
surprise to horsemen.
1t was with a rare burst of speed In the
stretch that Nealon flashed out of flying
field of sixteen horses and sped across the
finish line while 10000 people cheered him
as the winner Of the $4,000 prize and the
highest turf honors. w. Dugan, who had
the mount on NealOn rode clever race,
Dugan up, to make all the running for
mile, and then sent Nealon easily to the
front in the last furlong.
Vast Racing Crowd.
All New York, SO 1t seemed, went to
Sheepshead yesterday, and when boots and
saddles was sounded for the first race the
grand stands and lawns were packed with
a typical Suburban crowd good-natured
and enthusiastic. June sun never smiled
more sweetly on racing assemblage. A
smart shower in the morning served to lay
the dust and left the track lightning fast.
A cooling breeze tempered the heat of a
scorching sun. and the thousands of spec
tators were able to witness the races in
comfort.
August Belmonts fve-year-old Blandy
was the only entry withdrawn of the seven
teen horses that were carded to face. the
starters flag, and when the sixteen horses
loped slowly past the grand stand, their
bright colcrs flashing in the sunshine there
was wild cheer from the excited crowd.
The dollars of the crowd had been poured
into the betting ring on Electioneer and
James r. keenes entry, Superman and
Veil, and when these horses went to the
post they carried the financial hopes of a
greater part of the throng.
Horses Fractions at the Post.
There was a long delay at the post.
Nealon acted badly, and could not be kept
in line, while the hearts of Electioneer's
hackers futtered when that high-strung
youngster broke through the barrier and
gave Jockey Mountain all he could do to
keep him from running away. When
Electioneer was finally brought back,
Running Water became stubborn. Mars
Cassidy finally got them III line, the bar
rier was sprung, and the Suburban handi-
cap was on
and E. Dugan took him across to the rail
position, with Superman running second
and the veteran Cairngorm third. Nealon
got Indifferent start AS they swept
past the grand stand In the hrst furiong
there We're cries. for Superman, the winner
of the Brooklyn handicap, who was rum
ming half length behind Faust and just
ahead of Frank Gill.
Electioneer Quit.
Nealon had moved up to the fourth, and
as the horses swung into the back stretch
the cry went up that Electioneer, the ia
vorite, had quit. Nearing the half mile
Superman gave up the heartbreaking chase,
and fell back in the dust-beclouded ruck.
1.-The favorites are beaten" roared the
crowd Faust held the lead, with Frank
Gill second and the on-rushing Nealon
third. They came, and as they passed the
mile post Faust fell back and w. Dugan
sent Nealon out with a whirlwind dash
and took the lead. Frank Gill fell away
beaten, while Montgomery, who had been
holding a steady stride, closed in on Neal
on for the final stretch sprint.
Nealon's Easy Stride.
Nealon ran with great easy-swinging
strides. and Montgomery, whipped to a
last effort, challenged him for the lead.
w. Dugan touched big Nealon with his
whip, and the horse shot out, crossing the
line easy winner by two lengths
Montgomery was second, and Beacon
Light. who had closed strong in the
stretch took third money by scant head
from Faust, the other Durnell entry. Su-
perman was eighth. and Electioneer, the
favorite, who had shown no speed in the
race, finished fifteenth. next to last.
