 All New York SD 1t seened--went to Shecpshead to-day and when boots and saddles was sounded for the first race the grandstands and lawns were packed with a typical Suburban crowd
 good natured and enthusiastic. A June sun never smiled more sweetly on a racing assenblage. A smart shower in the morning served to lay the dust and left the track lightning fast. Al cooling breeze tempered the heat of d scorching sun, and the thousands were able to witness the races in comfort.
 August Belmonts five year old Blandy was the only entry withdrawn with the seventeen horses that were carded to face the starting flag and when tho sixteen horses went past the grand- stand the bright colors flashing in the
 sunshine, there was wild cheer from
 the excited crowd The dollars of the crowd had been poured into the bet ting ring on Electioneer and. James R. Keene's entry, Superman and Veil. and when these horses went to the post
 they carried the financial hopes of a greater part of the throng.
 There was long delay at the post. Nealon acted badly and could not be kept in line, while the hearts of Elec- tioneer's packers fluttered when that high-strung youngster broke through the barrier and gave Jockey Mountain all he could do to keep him from rum ming away. When Electioneer was finally brought back Running Water became stubborn, much to the crowds limpatience Mars Cassidy finally got them in a line, the barrier was sprung and the Suburban handicap was on.
 Out in front came Faust like a conn ct, and E. Dugan took him across to the rail position, with Superman rum ming second and the veteran Cairngorrn third Nealon got an indifferent start. AS they swept past the grandstand in the first furlong there were cries for Saperman, the winner of the Brooklyn Handicap, who was running half al length behind Faust and just ahead of Frank Gill Nealon had moved up to fourth, and as the horses swung into the backstretch the cry went up that EIectioneer, the favorite, had quit. Nearing the. half mile superman gave Up the heart-breaking chase and fell back in the dust -beclouded ruck.
 'The favorites are beaten" roared } the crowd Faust held the lead, with Frank Gill second and the crushing Nealon third at the three-quarter On they came, and as they passed the nlild post Faust fell back and w. Dngan sent Nealon out with whirlwind dash , and took the lead. Frank Gill fell away beaten, while Montgomery, who , had been holding a steady stride. clos- ed in on Nealon for the final stretch sprint. Nealon ran with great, easy- , swinging strides, and Montgomery, whipped to last effort, challenged him ) for the lead. W. Dugan touched Neal- l on with his whip and the horse shot as } if from catapult, crossing the line an
 easy winner by two lengths. Mont- gomery was second, and Beacon Light who had closed strong in the stretch, | took third money by scant head from ) Faust, the other Durnell entry.
