NEALON WON
THE SUBURBAN
HANDICAP
OWNED BY G. f. DURNELL AND
WAS A TWENTY TO ONE
SHOT.
PRIZE AMOUNTED TO $4,000
ElectiOneer, the FavOrite, and Heav-
lily Played Keene Entry We're
Badly Beaten.

NEW YORK, June 20.-Nealon, a
western horse, owned by C. E. Dur
nell, ridden by Jockey w. Dugan, and
. quoted at 20 to /, won the great Sub
urban handicap at Shepshead Bay to-
day. Montgomery was second, two
lengths behind the winner, with Bea-
conlight third. The time was 2:O6
5-8. Electioneer, the favorite, and
the heavily played Keene entry, Su-
perman and Veil, were badly beaten.
Nealon is a four year old, by Sain,
out of Sister Josephine, and was
bred in Missouri, by Barney Schreib-
er. He was coupled with Faust in
the betting, and his victory was a
, 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, ON Nealon, rode cley-
er race, allowing the stable mate,
Faust, with E. Dugan up, to make all
the running for a mile and then
bringing Nealon easily to the front
in the last furlong.
August Belmont's five year old
Blandy was the only entry withdrawn
from the II horses carded.
There was a long delay at the
post. Nealon acted badly and could
not be kept in line. Mark Cassiday
finally got them in line, the barrier
! was sprung and the Suburban handi-
, cap was on. Out from in front came
Faust like a comet, and e. Dugan
took him across to the rail position,
with Superman running second and
the Veteran catching up. In the
grand stand during the first fur-
longs run there were cries for Faust,
who was running a half length be-
hind Frank GILL; Nealon had moved
up to fourth and as the horses swung
into the back stretch the cry went up
that Electioneer, the favorite, had
quit. Nearing the half mile Super
man gave up the heart-breaking
chase and fell back in the dust-be-
clouded ruck.
''The favorites are beaten" roared
the crowd. Faust held the lead, with
Frank Gill second and the on-rush-
ing Nealon third. On they came, and
as they passed the mile post, Faust
fell back and w. Dugan sent Nealon
out with a Whirl and took the lead.
Frank Gill fell away beaten, while
Montgomery, who had been holding
a steady stride, closed in on Nealon
for the final stretch sprint.
Nealon ran with great, easy,
swinging strides and Montgomery,
whipped to the last, following him
for the lead. w. Dugan touched Big
Nealon with his whip and the horse
shot out, corssing the line an easy
winner by two lengths. Montgom-
cry was second and ,Beaconlight, who
had closed strong in the stretch, took
third money by scant head from
Faust the other Durnell entry.
Superman was eighth, and Elec-
tioneer, the favorite, who had shown
no speed in the race, finished nj
teenth, next to last. Results:
