SOCIETY AT THE TRACK.
The crowd in the clubhouse and grandstand
was a representative While the members
of the Fashionable world did not turn out in as
large numbers as usual, there was nevertheless,
a fairly good representation of New York So
ciety at the popular course. Many motored to
the track from their country homes in the
Meadow Brook district and other sections OF
Long Island and also from town. The perfect
weather gave the women a chance to display
their summer finery, and there were many strlk-
ing costumes seen.
Among those in and around the clubhouse were
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney Colonel and
Mrs. Cornelius Fellowes. Mrs. James B. Eustis'
Mrs. Garrett B. Kip. Mr. and Mrs. Herman b.

Three races were decided before the bugle called
the horses to the post for the Suburban. but
without the opportunity to speculate there was
more less impatience for the time to come
for the big of the day. F. A. Forsythe
scratched Dorante in order to him for the
Tidal Stakes to-day. and Blue Book and Don
Enrique We're also withdrawn. which left field
of twelve horses to face the starter. With the
betting ring deserted by everybody except the
police, the bulk OF the crowd stood out on the
lawn, where the question asked thousand
times. What is Ballots price?" indicating clear
ly that Mr.. Keene's candidate the popular
favorite. Most of those who asked the question
were answered in the same old way. Don't
know; don't think there is a price" But if a
man was persistent enough he able to find
out that s to B the quotation of those who
cared to lay the choice.
Ballot, with Notter in the saddle, led the
parade to the post, followed by Montgomery,
Frank Gill, Dandelion and the others. There
was q ripple Of applause as the horses walked
gingerly along, and then turning. cantered off
to the starting point in the chute at the head
of the backstretch Montgomery in the
name and colors OF T. c. Williams president Of
| the New California Jockey Club who had pur-
chased half interest in the horse earlier in the
day from S. c. Hildreth.
There little delay at the post and
| Mars Cassidy quickly sprang the barrier to a
good start, with Master Robert, usually a slow
| beginner, and King James the first to show
| They raced head and head in front for a quar-
ter Of a mile, but Ballot quickly took command
| and showed the way up the backstretch and
| around the turn by a good two lengths. King
James, Tourenne and Master Robert followed
the pace closely until rounding the far turn
| when Tourenne dropped back beaten and Fair
| Play, working himself clear, rushed up with
| remarkable burst of speed that threatened to
carry him TO the front He Tapped on
| Ballot for few brief strides at the head of
the stretch but just when il looked as if he
might come away to win he faltered, and Ballot
drew out again Notter shook him up into
safe and commanding lead.
The crowd was quick to see that Ballot had
the race safely won. Notter sitting still,
| keeping his mount up to his work but not
forcing him, whereas all the other boys we're
driving TO the limit in effort to improve their
position and wear the winner down. 1t was a
fruitless stern chase, however, and Ballot gal
loped on in his all conquering way TO win the
| first Suburban Handicap which ever fell to
James r Keene.
King James, which dropped out of it on the
turn as if soundly beaten, closed resoluteIy
when Strengthened out and finished respect-
able second, five lengths before the fast
tring Fair Play, which, under the weights and
an impatient ride by Dugan probably ran to
his best form. Master Robert finished fourth
showing speed in the early part, and falling as
might have been expected. 10 close with his
usual rush in the stretch.
The less said about the others, perhaps the
better. Tourenne looked dangerous for six fur
longs. but Dandeon, Frank Gill, Running
Water, Gold Lady and Montgomery OF which
much was expected. never near enough
to Ballot to figure in the race. Mont
gomery met with some interference, but fl made
no difference in the result, and. all things con-
sidered. the Suburban Handicap Of 1908 was
truly run and brilliantly won
